This feature helps to prolong the life of the board by allowing one to rotate the dartboard so wear on the most commonly used numbers is even. The outer number ring on the bristle dartboard is removable. Because of this construction, a bristle dartboard, depending on use, can last a long time particularly in the home recreation room. This happens when a dart lands next to where the previous dart landed, the sisal is parted and closes the original hole. The main characteristic of a bristle dartboard is the “self healing effect”. There are two sections to the bulls-eye the outer ring is a single bulls-eye and counts as 25 points with the inner bulls-eye counts as a double bull or 50 pointsīristle dartboards are made of millions of fibers glued on their end called sisal, a grass like hemp grown in Africa and China. The outer ring counts the number double score and the inner ring counts the number triple score. There are two narrow rings traversing the dartboard in a circular pattern. Both dartboards are divided into pie shaped sections numbered 1 to 20 with the center most section called the bulls-eye. The two most popular dartboards used to play the game of darts are the ‘bristle dartboard” for steel tip play and the “electronic dartboard” for soft tip play. Serious players, who have established a consistent stroke and have achieved a certain skill level, seek out specialty stores that allow a customer to try the darts before purchase, thus finding a set of darts that suits their particular playing style. All other equipment is optional although it may enhance your game. Always measure to the front of the toe line as everyone likes to stand on the line itself.Īll you need to play the game of darts is a dartboard, a set of 3 darts, a throw-line and a scoreboard or sheet of paper to keep score on. An easier way to measure distance is to have someone hold the tape measure touching the double bulls-eye and stretching diagonally to the floor 9’9 1/2”. In order to do this you first measure the height then drop a plumb line or string from the face edge of the dartboard to the floor then measure back to the front of the throw line. The distance for setting up a soft tip dartboard is 8 feet from the face of the dartboard not the wall. Always measure to the front of the toe line as everyone likes to stand on the line itself. For those math wiz’, this is a right angle and the diagonal measurement is the hypotenuse (Pythagorean theorem). An easier way to measure distance is to have someone hold the tape measure touching the double bulls-eye and stretching diagonally to the floor 9’7 3/8”. In order to conform to this standard, you first measure the height and hang the dartboard then drop a plumb line or string from the face of the dartboard to the floor then measure back to the front of the throw-line. The distance for throwing steel tip darts was standardized in the 1970’s for international competition and measures 7’ 9 1/4” from the face of the dartboard to the toe line not the wall. Most electronic dartboards have keyholes on the back for hanging at the proper height
Measuring the height of the board is much easier this way, as the official measurement is from the floor to the double bulls-eye allowing you to just measure the height of the bracket. This system lets the bristle dartboard rotate on the single screw while it sits in the bracket allowing for the rotation of the dartboard and number ring. This screw will sit in a special keyhole bracket that is attached to the wall, cabinet or backboard.
Usually there will be a mark or starter hole as to where to place the screw and should be located directly behind the double bulls-eye. The steel tip dartboard comes with a screw to put in the center of the back of the dartboard. The height of both the bristle and electronic dartboard is set at 5’ 8” from the floor to the center of the bulls-eye always with the 20 wedge on a black segment and on top of the board in the 12 o’clock position.
