How to play Darts 301
- Tap the dartboard to set your aim. The crosshair drifts around that point; press Throw dart to score its current position.
- Standard numbered sectors score singles, with the narrow middle ring scoring triple and the outer ring double. Outer bull scores 25, centre bull 50, and a miss scores zero.
- You have three darts per turn. Overshooting zero is a bust: that turn’s score is restored and a fresh turn begins. This is straight-out 301, so any scoring region can finish on exact zero; a double finish is not required. Fewest darts is the browser best.
Darts 301 practice guide
Choose the target from your remaining total
A high-scoring region is useful early in the leg, but it can be risky near zero. Look at the remaining score before throwing. The moving crosshair means the actual scoring point can differ from your chosen centre. A larger single sector may be safer than a narrow multiplier when either would leave a manageable finish.
You have twenty remaining
A single 20 finishes a straight-out leg immediately. A triple 20 would overshoot, causing a bust and restoring the score from the start of that turn. Aim within the wider single region and time the throw, rather than keeping the same triple target used earlier.
A focused practice session
- Try several throws at a broad single sector to learn the drift.
- Identify the single, double and triple rings before chasing high scores.
- Before each finishing turn, choose a route that totals exactly the remainder.
What to keep in mind
This version uses straight-out scoring and a drifting aim marker. It does not require double-out tournament finishes. Busts restore the entire current turn, while thrown darts still count towards the completed-leg record.
