(g) A player wishing to throw a dart, or darts, from a point either side of the oche line, must keep his feet behind an imaginary straight line extending from either side of the oche line.

(h) If a player accidentally drops a dart over the oche and it is apparent that the player was not intending to throw the dart, this dart is not considered thrown and may be picked up and used by the player.

(i) In the event that a player’s throw or dart is interfered with, that player has the option to throw that dart again.  If the thrown dart that was interfered with happens to dislodge a previously thrown dart from the board, the player has the option to re-throw both darts.  If a player chooses to call interference, it must be done prior to throwing any additional darts.  The following shall be considered as interference:

(1) Physical contact during a throw from a bystander or an opposing team’s player.
(2) Any object entering the playing field between the oche and the board during a throw.  This includes but is not limited to a bystander, an opposing team’s player or darts bouncing off of a neighboring board.

(b) For a dart to score, it must remain in the dart board a reasonable amount of time after the 3rd or final dart has been thrown by that player.  A reasonable amount of time is as deemed necessary for both the scorekeeper and the thrower to positively identify the location of the dart in the dartboard.  A rule of thumb is a minimum of 5 seconds.

(c) The tip of the dart point must be touching the bristle portion of the board in order for the dart to be counted as a score.

(d) No dart may be touched by the thrower, another player, scorekeeper or spectator prior to the decision of the scorekeeper.  Should this occur, that throw shall be deemed to have been completed, per provisions set forth in Articles VII-3(c), and VII-3(i).

(e) A darts score shall be deemed from the side of the wire at which the point of the dart enters the board. Should a dart lodge directly between the connecting wires on the dartboard, making it impossible to determine which side of the wire the dart resides, the score shall always be the higher value of the two segments in question.  This includes the outside double ring for the winning shot.

(f) It is the responsibility of the player to verify his score before removing his darts from the dartboard.  The score remains as written if one or more darts has been removed from the board.  For 501 and 301 games/legs, errors in arithmetic must stand as written, unless corrected prior to the next throw of any player/partner on that team.  For cricket games, due to the inherent "strategy" involved in a cricket game, the score remains as written if one or more darts has been removed from the board.  Errors in arithmetic must be corrected prior to the next dart thrown by any player.

(g) In partner games, no player may throw out of turn during a leg.  The player throwing out of turn shall not receive a score and the team shall forfeit that turn.

(h) The scorekeeper must inform the thrower what he has scored if requested by the thrower.  Additionally, the thrower may ask the scorer what score is left at his/her own risk.  The scorekeeper may not inform the thrower what he has left in terms of strategy, e.g. "double 16 left".

(i) The value of the dart scored shall be as shown in the following figure and as described below:

(1) Small or Large Wedge, Wedge value (One Hit)
(2) Double Ring, Twice the wedge value (Two Hits)
(3) Triple Ring, Triple the wedge value (Three Hits)
(4) Outer Bull, 25 points (One Hit)
(5) Inner Bull (Double Bull), 50 points (Two Hits)
(6) Out of Play Area (No score)

top

Section 5 - Ending A Game

The game shall end with the dart thrown that wins the game per Article VIII.  The thrower shall receive full credit for the gaming winning dart for the purpose of calculating honorable mention points, Article VI-5.  Example: If the opponent has bulls open and the thrower needs 2 bulls to close bulls and win the game, then hits a single bull followed by a double bull, the player wins the game and gets credit for hitting 3 bulls towards honorable mention points. Any dart thrown subsequent to the winning dart are done so at the throwers own peril, Article VII-4(b), i.e. the winning dart may be knocked out.

(o) All chalking shall be done on the scoreboard in view of shooters, not behind at the table.
