ITEM XI GAME RULES

Rules for all 401, 501 and 701:

The object of the game is to score exactly 401 or 501 points, finishing on a double. To start in on a game of 701, a double of any number must be thrown in order to begin scoring. All darts thrown after the double will count for score. To finish, a double must be hit which exactly equals the number of points needed to go out. The double bull’s eye may be used to start or finish the game.

(example: A player hits a double, then continues to score in turn until he now has to get 36 points to make exactly 301. He must hit a double 18 to go out and win. If he hits a single 18 he will have scored 18 points, leaving him 18 more points to get, or a double 9, etc.)

Darts that miss the scoring surface do not count. If a player scores one more point or one less point than the exact score needed to go out, he/she assumes the same score that he/she had prior to his/her turn.

Exactly 301 can be scored by using as few as six (6) darts.

The double ring is the outer narrow ring of the board. The double bull’s eye is the small inner circle of the bull’s eye.

The first points scored in a single (free) on game will not count toward the high on award.

Rules for the game of Cricket:

American Cricket can be played by individuals or two person teams. For team play, only one member of a team thrown and has his/her score posted, then a member of the opposing team throws, etc. A popular short version of the game and the one used for league play is 20 through 15 plus the bull’s eye. The object of the game is to close all of the games innings before your opponent does. In order to win however, a player must also be ahead of his/her opponent in points in addition to closing all innings. If the score is tie, the first person to close all innings is the winner.

To close an inning, three hits must be scored on that particular number (one dart in the triple ring scores three, a double scores two, single scores one.) After a number is closed, all hits in that number scores the numerical value of that inning. Score can only be counted until the opponent closes the number by scoring three hits on that number. (example: A player throws three darts at the 20 and hits a total of two. His opponent hits five 20’s one triple, one double and one miss. This closes the 20’s for the opponent as well as scoring 40 points for the two additional hits on the 20. The opponent can continue to score on the 20’s until player one hits one more 20 to close them.)

Numbers do not need to be shot in rotation. A player may shoot for any number he/she chooses. In “call cricket”, the number which you are shooting at must be called first and only darts which hit the called number will count for score.
