Get to know Darts...

Dartboards are a popular game for both leisure and competition. They consist of a circular board with numbered sections and players throw darts at the board to score points.

The standard dartboard is made of sisal fibers, which is a material that allows the darts to stick easily and reduces bounce-outs. The board is divided into 20 sections, each numbered from 1 to 20 and separated by thin, radial wires called doubles and triples. The bullseye is the center of the board and is worth 50 points, while the outer bull, or 25, is worth 25 points.

In professional darts, the standard size of a dartboard is 18 inches in diameter and it is mounted at a height of 5 feet 8 inches, with the bullseye positioned at eye level. However, there are various sizes and styles of dart boards available for both recreational and professional use, each with its own set of rules and regulations.

The game of darts can be played individually or as teams, with various game modes and scoring systems. Some popular darts games include ‘501’, ‘Cricket’ and ‘Around the Clock’. Darts can also be played in tournaments, with professional players competing for large prizes and world championships.

Aside from its entertainment value, darts is also recognized as a form of mental and physical exercise. It requires hand-eye coordination, aim and strategy, making it a fun and challenging activity for people of all ages.

Overall, dartboards are a staple in many homes, pubs and sports clubs, providing hours of entertainment and competition for friends and families. Whether playing for fun or as a competitive sport, darts is a timeless classic that continues to be enjoyed by many people all around the world.
