Dart Game Rules-Call Three

This is an excellent practice game to really sharpen your accuracy around the board. It can be played by any number of players or teams.

The Object

The object is to have the highest score after 10 rounds of play.

The Scoring

The players’ names are written across the top of the score board in order. Playing order is determined by a throw at bullseye, closest dart plays first. The numbers 1 through 10 are written down the center of the board to indicate the 10 rounds of play.

The Play

The first player goes to the line and the player who is to throw next calls off three numbers for the first player to hit. Any three numbers may be used, 1-20 and bull's-eyes.

The first player now throws ONE dart at each of the three numbers in the order called out. Only darts that land in the called out numbers count and they only count in the proper order. The thin outer "doubles" ring counts as 2 points, the thin inner "triples" ring counts as 3 points and the remaining area of the number count as 1 point. If bull's-eyes are used, the outer bullseye counts as 2 points and the inner bullseye counts as three points.

The total that was hit is written next to the round-number and play continues on to the next player. After all ten rounds are played, the player with the highest total score wins.

The Strategy

This game has no strategy, it is a game of accuracy. If you play on a dart team with your opponent's), you should try to stick to numbers that give them trouble during league games.
