Games

01

Game ends when a player reaches zero exactly by
finishing on a double. One, two or three darts
constitutes one turn. The total score of each turn is
subtracted from the total score. Exceeding a zero score
(busting) ends the turn and requires the player go back
to the score he or she had in the turn prior to busting.

Cricket

The object of the game is to score three “marks” in each
of the numbers 15 through 20 and the bull’s-eye. On an
open number a triple scores three marks, a double
scores two marks and a single scores one. Additional
marks on a closed number will score points if the
opponent is still open on that number. The first team to
close all numbers, the bullseye, and have the highest
score wins.

Determining who starts the game:

The home player has the option to throw first at the
bullseye.
The closest to the bullseye throws the first game and
from there you alternate games.
If both players hit a single bull or a double bull you
must throw again to determine who throws the game
first.
If you have a bounce out the player will throw again.
If your opponent knocks your dart out of the
dartboard you both throw again.
If your opponent Robin Hoods a dart you will remove
the darts and will throw it again. (Only in the diddle)
If the first player throws a double bull the second
thrower has the choice of whether he/she wants it
pulled out of the dartboard to have a clearer shot.
You may not touch either dart, but you shall
determine who is closer to the bullseye. If you are
unsure both players must throw again.
Both feet must be behind the throwline. If your
opponents are not, then you can ask your opponent
to stand behind it. If the player on their next throw is
in front of the throwline you can ask to throw again. If
the player does it a third time, they will forfeit that
game.
Breaks can be taken if both players agree, and breaks
must be kept to a reasonable time.

Scoring:

A player must not touch any of their darts until
the score has been written down.
If the player pulls their darts from the dartboard
before the score has been scored, the penalty
will be a loss of that turns score.
If you have a scorer: The scorer may tell a player
what amount is left, if asked. But if the scorer is
wrong your darts count as is.
It is the players’ responsibility to know your own
score.

Tie Breakers:

In case of a tie at the end of the season, the following tie
breaking methods may be used:
These rules apply to any tie in any position.

head-to-head game they played with, the player

tie, then the winner of the most head to head
matches will be the winner and if still tied a tie
breaker game must be played to determine the
final winner.
