Dartboard Setup Instructions
Dart Board Setup
Face of board to the Toe Line (The Hockey) 7'9½" or 93½" = (2375 mm)
Center of Bull to floor = 5'8" or 68" = (1727mm)
Plus if you measure from the center of the bull to the Toe Line it should be 9' 7 3/8"
The game of darts has many variations. Most of the games are played as a single or as a team. I will list a few of the more popular games and their variations. If you know of any other games, or variations of those listed, please email me.
Board Setup
The board setup is really quite simple. Mount the dart board on a wall with the center of the double bull 5 feet 8 inches from the floor. Place the oche or toe-line 7 feet 91/4 inches from the board. (Remember to take into account the dart board width when measuring the line---a bristle dart board has a width of approximately 11/2 inches) There are a few rules that are common to all games unless otherwise stated. To decide who shoots first, both players shoot for the bulls-eye with the closest to the bull shooting first and alternating thereafter. A turn consists of three darts and the players must shoot from behind the toe-line or oche. The point of the dart must be touching the board to count. Darts that miss the board or bounce to the floor do not score and cannot be re-thrown. However, a player may pick up and play a dropped dart.
