Dartboard Information and Points system of darts

The most standard dartboard is referred to as the "clock board". A typical dartboard measures 18 inches in diameter.

On a board, there are 20 numbered pie shaped segments of equal sizes with the bullseye in the centre of the board.

Each of the 20 segments has it's own double ring, which is on the outer perimeter of the scoring area. In addition, there is also an interior ring, which is the treble zone.

The double zone is worth double the score of the segment it lands in. For example, if I hit double 20, I score 40 points. The same principle applies to the treble zone, it is worth treble the score of the segment in which it lands. For example if I hit treble 19, I would score 57 points. If the dart lands inside the segments but not in a double or treble zone, it is worth single the amount of points of the segment. For example if my dart landed in the 20 segment, I would score 20 points.

A dart that lands outside of the segments is worth zero points.

The bullseye (red dot in the centre of the board) is worth 50 points. Surrounding the bullseye is another ring (green ring) which is worth 25 points.

All segments can be used in checkouts at the end of a leg, checkouts will be explained on a preceding page.
