Read More »A dart only scores if its point is embedded in or is touching the playing surface. This rule applies to any dart that lands in such a way as to be partially or totally supported by others that have already hit the board. When a standard board is used, any dart whose point does not remain in contact with the playing surface until being collected by the player does not score. This includes darts that bounce off the board for any reason, that fall off on their own, or that are dislodged by the impact of later throws. However, when an electronic board is used, fallen/dislodged darts do score as long as their impacts have registered on the board first. The highest score possible with three darts is 180, commonly known as a "ton 80" (100 points is called a ton), obtained when all three darts land in the triple 20. In the televised game, the referee frequently announces a score of 180 in exuberant style. A "quad" ring appeared briefly between the triple ring and the bull in the 1990s during the short-lived PDC UK Matchplay, leading to a potential 240 maximum (three quad-20s), and 210 maximum checkouts (Q20-Q20-Bull). Also possible on the Quadro board was a seven dart finishes from a 501 start (five quad-20s, triple-17, bullseye). Although no seven dart finish was ever scored on the board, John Lowe did come close to a 9 dart finish once. In the 1993 PDC UK Matchplay, he scored 200 (T20-T20-Q20), then 160 (20-T20-Q20), and got his final T20 and T15, only to miss D18 on his final throw. The board was removed from professional tournament play after only two years.[22] One make of this board was the Harrows Quadro 240.[23]
