CRICKET
Cricket is a strategic game for accomplished players and beginners alike. Players throw for
numbers best suited for them and can force opponents to throw for numbers not as suitable
for them. The object of Cricket is to “close” all of the appropriate numbers before one’s
opponent while racking up the highest number of points.
Only the numbers 15 through 20 and the inner/outer bullseye are used
. Each player
must hit a number 3 times to “open” that segment for scoring. A player is then awarded the
number of points of the “open” segment each time he/she throws a dart that lands in that
segment, provided their opponent has not closed that segment. Hitting the double ring
counts as two hits, and the triple ring counts as 3 hits.
Numbers can be opened or closed in any order. A number is “closed” when the other
player(s) hit the open segment 3 times. Once a number has been “closed”, any player for the
remainder of the game can no longer score on it.
Winning
- The side closing all the numbers first and accumulating the highest point total is
the winner. If a player “closes” all numbers first but is behind in points, he/she must continue
to score on the “open” numbers. If the player does not make up the point deficit before the
opposing player(s) “closes” all the numbers, the opposing side wins. Play continues until all
segments are closed - the winner is the player with the highest score.
Cricket Scoring Display
This dartboard utilizes a dedicated scoreboard that keeps track of each player’s segment
status when playing Cricket. The exclusive Tournament Cricket Scoring display on this
dartboard utilizes traditional X and O style characters to track ‘marks’. When Cricket is
selected, the lights on the Cricket scoreboard are not lit – they will illuminate as ‘marks’ are
scored. There are 3 separate lights within each number (15 through 20 and bullseye).
During play, one of the status lights will turn on as a segment is hit. If a double or triple of an
active number is hit, 2 or 3 lights will turn on respectively.
NO-SCORE CRICKET
(Press SELECT button when
Cricket
is displayed)
Same rules as standard Cricket except there is no point scoring. The object of this version is
to be the first to simply “close” all the appropriate numbers (15 through 20 and the bullseye).
