1. Hang the boards as shown in
the diagram. 2. To decide who plays first,

Tournament
Dart Rules
1. Each side starts with 501 Points.
The method of scoring is to subtract
each score from the remaining total. The score of 501 is used mainly
for games between two individuals. For team play the opening score
should be increased to 701 or 1001 depending on team size. 2. Tournament games are usually
started straight, but as an alternative,
can be played by started with any double. 3. The first to reduce his score
exactly to zero is the winner. 4. To finish, a double (or bullseye)
which exactly reduces the score to
zero must be thrown. 5. For the purposes of rules 3
and 4, "Bullseye" count as double 25. 6. If a greater score is thrown
than is required to reduce the remaining
score exactly to zero, then none of the three darts count for that
and
the score remains as it was before that particular throw was taken. 7. Each games is called a 'leg'.
3 legs make a match and the ultimate
winner is the player who first wins 2 legs. This can be varied. Say,
best
of 3 legs or best of 5 legs... and so on.
