Scoring a game of darts is simple, especially when using common formats like 501
and 301. However, the rules for victory and the best way to achieve victory are not
always obvious, especially to new players.
Let’s suppose a player needs 32 points to win a game. In this case, they must hit a
double 16.
But, the player is unable to hit a double 16 and hits a single 16. Now, the player
has 16 points remaining. Now, the player must only hit a double 8 to finish and win
the game. In this case, if the player can hit a double 8, they win. But, if they
cannot hit a double 8 and hit some other scoring area more than or equal to 15,
they bust. In this case, they’ll miss a turn and again start from 32.
The points will keep resetting as long as the player keeps busting.
Once the player hits 20 instead of double 5, his score drops to -10. Hence, making
it a “bust” according to the rules. While their score for the round will remain
zero, the player will be allowed to play another round and will resume playing with
the same number of points as before the score of the busted round.
For example, suppose a player has 16 points left to win the game. In this case,
they must hit a double 8 to win the game. But, they are unable to hit a double 8
and rather hit a single 16. In this case also, the player busts because they didn’t
finish on a double. And, they will play another round with 16 as their starting
score.
That’s because, as mentioned earlier, they’ll play the next round with the score
they had at the start of the busted round, which, in this case, is 16.
For example, suppose you have 6 points left on a game. In this case, you must hit a
double 3 to win the game. But, you hit a double 2 on your first dart. Now, on your
remaining two darts you must hit a double 1. But, you are unable to hit a double 1
and instead hit a single 1. Now, in this situation, your remaining score is 1. And,
you busted because you can’t hit a double to score 1. Hence, your round will end
and you’ll have to start another round with 6 points left.
Also, this method of busting is why players don’t prefer to hit an odd number.
Now, if the score is still a tie after 20 rounds, the game continues for another 10
rounds.
In this case also, the first person to reach zero wins. But, after the 20th turn,
whoever is the first to lower their scores wins.
However, if the remaining points are still equal after the additional 10 turns, the
game ends in a draw.
Final Words
Darts is a fast-paced game, as seen by the performances of professional players. So
as to cut the points down more rapidly, players usually aim all their three darts
for triple 19s or 20s. But, it’s super difficult to land all you darts at the same
place.
Hence, as the score becomes lesser and pressure begins to pile up on the other
players, the players become vulnerable to busting.
