Darts Scoring Method
Darts is typically played with a standard board that has numbered sections from 1 to 20, plus the bullseye. Each section has
- Single (outer area of a section) – face value (e.g., hitting the 20 gives 20 points).
- Double (thin outer ring) – double the value (e.g., hitting the double 20 gives 40 points).
- Triple (thin inner ring) – triple the value (e.g., hitting the triple 20 gives 60 points).
- Bullseye : Outer bullseye (green) – 25 and points Inner bullseye (red) – 50 points.
501 Game Rules & How to Finish
- Each player starts with 501 points and must reduce their score to exactly 0.
- Players take turns throwing three darts per turn and subtract the total score from their remaining points.
- The game must end with a double (hitting a double ring that lands exactly at 0).
Strategies to Finish a 501 Game (Checkout)
Common Finishing Moves
- If you have 40 points left, aim for Double 20 (D20).
- If you have 32 points left, aim for Double 16 (D16) (favored as it can be halved multiple times).
- If you have 50 points left, you can finish with a bullseye.
2. Checkout Table (Examples)
- 170 left → T20, T20, Bullseye
- 100 left → T20, D20
- 61 left → T11, D14
3. Avoid Busting
- If you go below 0, your turn is voided, and your score resets to the previous turn.
- If you land on 1, you cannot finish (since you need a double).
