| Points |
501 or 301: write the turn’s points under “Scored” and the new score under “Left”. You finish exactly on 0, with a double; going over, being left on 1 or finishing without a double cancels the turn. Cricket: / one mark, X two, ⊗ closed. · Full rules: combiendepoints.fr/en/games/darts/
How to fill in the sheet
Write the first names across the top in throwing order and the starting score (301 or 501) on the first line of “Left”. Each turn, write the points scored under “Scored” and the new score under “Left”: both figures, always, which is what lets you track down an addition error later. A bust is a dash under “Scored”; the remainder does not change.
Below 171, pencil the checkout you are aiming at next to the remainder (“32 → D16”): it makes the next dart clearer and saves recalculating under pressure. The “Legs” line at the bottom counts legs won when you play best of three or five.
For Cricket, the bottom grid is filled in as on the board: a bar for the first mark, a cross for the second, a circle around the cross when the number is closed. Points earned on a closed number go in the “Points” line.
Counting as you play
The hard part of darts is not the rule, it is the arithmetic at arm’s length: taking 85 off 356 while your opponent waits. Two habits help. Call each dart out loud (“sixty, eighty, one hundred”) so the table checks along with you; and subtract in two steps, tens then units: 356 − 80 = 276, − 5 = 271.
The counter does that arithmetic for you, dart by dart, and locks the turn on a bust or a checkout. It also keeps each player’s three-dart average, which is the real measure of level: 40 for a beginner, 60 for a regular player, over 90 for the professionals.
