Do you have to hit a double to win darts?

Basic Rules: In order to reach zero each player must finish by throwing a double i.e. if player one has 36 remaining he must hit double 18 to win, while if player two has 45 remaining he must hit single 5, double 20 to win - or a another combination of scores provided the final dart scores on a double.

All Professional Darts Corporation tournaments are operated under the rules laid down by the Darts Regulation Authority. Details of the DRA Rules can be found at this link, downloadable as a PDF (rules updated in January 2019), while below is a basic guide for beginners to the sport of darts. In addition to the standard playing rules for darts, PDC tournaments have their own rules in relation to format, qualification and their Order of Merit status. Visit the Order of Merit section of this website to see these rules. There are a number of different versions of the sport and also a number of different dartboards which are used around the world. Here you can find details of the most commonly played version - 501 - used in all PDC events on a standard dartboard.

Dart Board Measurements:

Standard height from the floor to the bullseye on the dartboard is 5 feet 8 inches, while the oche (distance between the front of the board and the toeline) should measure 7 feet 9.25inches.

Basic Rules:

In a game of 501 the object is for one player or a team to be the first to reach zero from starting total of 501. In simple terms, after three darts are thrown, the throwing player subtracts the total scored from his current total until he reaches zero. In order to reach zero each player must finish by throwing a double i.e. if player one has 36 remaining he must hit double 18 to win, while if player two has 45 remaining he must hit single 5, double 20 to win - or a another combination of scores provided the final dart scores on a double.

Legs & Sets:

Games being played in the Legs format can be played to a 'Best of' format whereby a player or team winning six legs in a 'Best of 11 Leg' game wins the match.

Most PDC events are played in a Legs format.

Other tournaments will be played in Sets format, whereby players must win a Set by winning the Best of Five legs, before claiming the match in the Best of Three/Five/Seven/Nine/11/13 Sets. The PDC World Championship and World Grand Prix are played using the Set format, with differing lengths of games at each tournament.

Double Start Format:

Some versions of the game require a 'double start' whereby players must begin the game with a double as well as 'checking out' on a double. The World Grand Prix uses the 'double in, double out' rule.

Where is the best place to aim in darts?

Total duffers should aim slightly to the left of the bullseye, near the point where the 8 and 16 meet, while moderate players should aim for triple 19.

sciencefocus.com - Where on the dartboard should useless players aim?

Asked by: Anonymous

The answer to this one might seem obvious: aim for the highest-scoring part of the board, which is the treble 20. But this strategy works well for professionals only because they’re deadly accurate. In particular, they’re far less likely than the rest of us to miss the 20 altogether, and end up in the 5 or the 1 lying to either side. The question of the optimal place for duffers to aim has now been thoroughly investigated by a team of researchers led by statistician Dr Ryan Tibshirani at Stanford University, California, and they’ve come up with some surprising results. First, many of us would be better off simply trying to hit the dartboard anywhere rather than trying for the treble 20. A dart thrown completely at random at the board typically scores around 12, which is better than a lot of beginners manage by aiming at the 20s. But according to Dr Tibshirani and his colleagues it’s possible to do a bit better than this. Total duffers should aim slightly to the left of the bullseye, near the point where the 8 and 16 meet, while moderate players should aim for triple 19.
