The point counting system is the same whether you have a traditional board for steel tips, a plastic board, or an electronic board.
A dart board is divided into 20 equal-sized regions and two centers. Each zone is assigned a number (from 1 to 20) and divided into sub-zones.
Each player will throw three darts in an attempt to score as many points as possible.
Singular Zone
If your dart hits this area, the points' value equals x1. (if your dart hits 5, you score 5 points)
This zone is the easiest to achieve as it has the biggest area.
Double Zone
If your dart hits this area, the points' value equals x2. (if your dart hits 5, you score 10 points)
This zone is the easiest to achieve as it has the biggest area.
Triple Zone
If your dart hits this area, the points' value equals x3. (if your dart hits 5, you score 15 points)
This zone is the easiest to achieve as it has the biggest area.
The Bullseye
The center of the target is divided into 2 areas
The inner Bullseye is the smaller, central area of the bullseye. This area typically carries the highest point value, such as 50 points.
The outer Bullseye is the larger, round area surrounding the inner bullseye. This area has a lower point value, such as 25 points.
Maximum Points
Now we know how to count scores on a dartboard and you may find that hitting a triple bullseye (50*3=150) is not the way to score the most!
The area you can get the maximum points is the triple 20 (20*3=60).
In a throw of 3 darts, you could get a maximum of 180 points (60*3=180).
