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.
• 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:
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

Hit Once Hit Twice Closed
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.

Cricket Variations and Additional Games
Gentleman’s Cricket
This variation of Cricket is ideal for experienced
darters. Players call out their intended score
before throwing. Points that hit any other score
do not count.
Scram Cricket
This variation of Cricket involves two players.
One player is the scorer and the other is the
blocker. The blocker throws their darts first,
marking any scores on the scoreboard. The
scorer then tries to score as many points as
possible using the remaining scores. Once the
blocker has closed all the numbers, the scores
are totaled and the players trade roles. The
player who scores the most points wins.
Cutthroat Cricket
This game is best played with at least three
participants. The rules are the same as
standard Cricket, but the winner of the game is
the player with everything closed and the least
amount of points. When a player scores points,
they give points to their opponents. Once a
number is closed, a player can score points on
any opponent that does not have that same
number closed.
Around the Clock
This game uses the whole dartboard, so it is
great practice for darters who want to improve
their accuracy. The object of the game is to hit
every number on the board in order and finish
before the other players. Only darts that hit the
intended number count.
Baseball
The object of Baseball is to score the greatest
amount of runs in each inning, and the highest
score at the end of the game wins. Players use
the numbers 1 through 9 to score points in the
number of the current inning. (For example,
players aim for the number 3 during the third
inning, and so on.) Singles count for one run,
doubles count for two runs, and triples count
for three runs. Players resolve tie scores by
aiming at the bullseye for extra innings.
Count Up
Count Up is a great game for beginners and
experienced darters alike. Players add their
score each round, counting up from zero. The
first player to a predetermined score (such
as 1000 points) or the player with the highest
score after a predetermined number of rounds
(such as 10 rounds) wins.
Shanghai
The object of Shanghai is to score as
many points as possible in 20 innings or to
“Shanghai” your opponent. Players aim to
score points in the segment that matches the
round number. For example, in the first round,
only points scored in the 1 wedge count.
The player with the highest score once all 20
innings have been played is the winner. The
second way to win is for a player to “Shanghai”
their opponent by hitting a single, a double,
and a triple of the intended score all in one
round. Once a player has scored a “Shanghai,”
the game is over.
