Darts: explained

What is Darts and How Does it Work?

Darts is a popular sport that involves players throwing small, pointed missiles called darts at a circular target known as a dartboard. The dartboard is divided into numbered sections, with each section assigning different point values. The objective of the game is to accumulate points by hitting specific areas on the dartboard.

Understanding the X01 Game Mode

One of the most common formats of darts is the X01 game mode, where players start with a set number of points (commonly 301 or 501) and take turns throwing three darts per round. The goal is to reduce their score to exactly zero, with the final dart required to land in either the bullseye or a double segment of the dartboard.

Rules of X01:

• Starting Score: Players begin with 301 or 501 points.

• Reducing the Score: Points are deducted based on the segment hit by the dart. For example, hitting a triple 20 scores 60 points, while hitting a single 20 scores 20 points.

• Ending the Game: The game must end with an exact score of zero. The last dart must land in a double segment or the bullseye.

• Double In/Double Out: In some variations, players must start and/or end the game with a double segment.
