Game Instructions
GAMES
There are many different games to be played.
With a small amount of imagination you can
even make up your own.
You can find and play your favorite game,
but the most popular three games are: 301
Countdown, 501 Countdown, and Cricket
In general:
1. Who goes first is usually determined by
each player throwing one dart. The player
closest to the bullseye goes first.
2. Each player throws three darts each turn.
3. In a player’s turn, all three darts are thrown.
Any dart that falls, bounces out, or misses
the board counts and receives no score.
4. The color of the segment does not
determine the score. Only the tip of the dart
and its location on the board determines
the scoring segment.
The easiest game is to simply throw the darts
and add up your score.
301 and 501 Countdown
• The starting score for each player is 301 or
501. The game can be played in variants of
X01, such as 701 and 901.
• The value of each scoring dart will be
deducted. The first player who reaches
exactly zero (0) wins. You must go out with
the exact number. If you go over zero the
turn does not count. For example, if your
score is 15 and you hit a 20, your turn
is over and your score remains 15 until
successfully lowered to exactly 0.
• For Single In or Single Out play, the game
can be started or ended by throwing at any
segment, regardless of single, double, or triple
• If you are playing Double In, you must hit
a double segment or bullseye to start the
game.
• If you play Double Out, you must hit a
double segment or bullseye to end the
game.
• For Master Out, you must end with hitting a
double or triple segment or a bullseye.
Quick Cricket
• In Quick Cricket only the numbers 15
through 20 and bullseye are used. The first
player to hit each number three times is the
winner.
• A single segment counts as one hit, a
double segment counts as two hits, and a
triple segment counts as three hits.
• A good way to keep score is using two
lines and a circle:
Minnesota Cricket
• Minnesota Cricket is a variation of cricket
in which three additional scores must be
closed: D for doubles, T for triples, and
B for bed (Three in a bed means all three
darts land in the same scoring area)
• Darts cannot count for more than one
score. For example, scoring a single 20,
double 20, and triple 20 in the same round
can be scored in several ways. It can count
toward a hit for bed, triple, double, or
multiples of 20, but never more than one.
