501
501
Player 1 to throw
Enter the total for the visit (all three darts). Over the score, or leaving 1, is a bust and scores nothing.
How 501 Darts Is Scored
501, 301 and 701 all play the same way: count down to exactly zero. 501 is the standard for leagues and the pros; 301 is the quicker pub game.
- 1
Throw three darts
A visit is three darts. Add them up: a treble 20 is 60, so the most a visit can score is 180.
- 2
Take it off your score
Everyone starts on 501 and counts down. Players take turns, one visit each.
- 3
Finish on a double
To win the leg you hit exactly zero, and the last dart must be a double or the bullseye.
- 4
Go over and you bust
Below zero, or left on 1, and the whole visit scores nothing. Your score goes back to where it was.
Darts Checkout Chart
One way to finish every score from 170 to 2 with a double, in as few darts as possible. It's the same suggestion the scoreboard shows under your score. Missing numbers (169, 168, 166, 165, 163, 162, 159) can't be checked out in three darts.
T is a treble, D a double. 25 is the outer bull, Bull the bullseye (50, which counts as a double).
Cricket Darts Scoreboard
Cricket uses only 15 to 20 and the bull. Hit a number three times to close it; after that, every hit on it scores points until your opponents close it too. Close everything while ahead on points and you win.
Switch the scoreboard to Cricket, pick Double or Treble when you need to, and tap the number for each dart. It chalks the marks the traditional way and dims a number once everyone has closed it.
| / | One mark: a single |
| X | Two marks: a double, or two singles |
| Circled X | Closed: three marks |
| Outer bull | One mark on the bull |
| Bullseye | Two marks on the bull |

Frequently Asked Questions
Each player starts on 501. On your turn you throw three darts (a visit), add them up and take that total off your score. The first player to reach exactly zero wins the leg, and in standard 501 the last dart must land in a double or the bullseye. Type each visit's total into the scoreboard above and it does the subtraction.
A visit that would take you below zero, or (with double out) leave you on exactly 1, which can't be finished on a double. A bust scores nothing: your score goes back to what it was before the visit and the throw passes on. The scoreboard spots busts for you and marks them.
170: treble 20, treble 20, bullseye. Some scores below 170 can't be checked out in three darts with a double finish at all: 169, 168, 166, 165, 163, 162 and 159. These are called bogey numbers.
179, 178, 176, 175, 173, 172, 169, 166 and 163 can't be scored with three darts, and nothing above 180 can. The scoreboard refuses those totals, which catches most typing mistakes.
Only 15 to 20 and the bull count. Three marks close a number: a single is one mark, a double two and a treble three. Once you've closed a number, more hits on it score its value until every opponent has closed it too. The first player to close everything with at least as many points as everyone else wins.
Total points scored divided by darts thrown, times three. The scoreboard counts every visit as three darts, including the one you checked out with, so a leg finished with your first dart reads slightly low. Busts count as three darts and zero points.
Yes. Pick 301 or 701 at the top, and untick Double out for a straight-out game where any dart that reaches exactly zero wins.
