How to Recording Darts Scores

Recording scores is easy but does require the ability to multiply, add and subtract. When the player has thrown their three darts, the score is added up. The total is then subtracted from the team total to produce a current score.

Example:
A player scores D5 (double 5), 20 and 1. The total is 10+20+1=31.
501 = starting score
 31 = minus 3 dart score for player
480 = running total
This method of scoring continues uall the way to the end of the match. However, once your score falls to 170 or below it may be possible to finish the game with 3 darts. This is when you should consult the Three Dart Finishing Guide to find a way to finish the game as quickly as possible.

To finish the leg you need to finish on a double. If you score more than, or 1 less than, the required total with three darts, your score will not be counted and the previous score will stand.
