Throwing line (oche) set 2.37m (7ft 9.25in) from the face of the board.

HOW TO PLAY
1

Each player starts with an agreed score, commonly 301 or 501.

2

Take turns throwing three darts per turn at the board, subtracting the value hit from your remaining score.

3

Higher-value outer and inner rings double or triple the segment's base score.

4

A player must reach exactly zero, typically finishing on a double, to win.

5

Overshooting past zero, or finishing without a valid double, forfeits that turn's darts and the score resets to the start of the turn.
