DART GAME RULES

The following simple dart game rules govern all games of darts.

1. Any dart can be used provided it is under 55 g.
   
   
2. The height of the board should be 5 feet 8 inches above the ground.
   
   
3. The distance from the thrower’s line to the board is 7 feet 9-1/4 inches.
   
   
4. Who throws first is determined by an initial throw. The closest to the bull wins. Called 'Bull up'.
   
   
5. If the feet of the player cross the line, all three throws are disqualified.
   
   
6. Darts that bounce off the board or land outside go as empty throws without any points.
   
   
7. The colors are just a guide. The wires embedded on the board determine the points.
   
   
8. Nine throws are allowed as warm up exercise before the game.
   
   
9. A dart must stay on the board for 5 seconds to be counted as valid.
   
   
10. If a dart is dropped while throwing, it counts as a throw.
    
    
11. If a scoring error is not reported immediately and the players make their throws, the score can not be modified and the game continues.
