How to Play Darts - The Game of Cricket

[ThatFMShow]

No offense, but I don't think Americans should be teaching darts. Not in a rude way

I have a question.. You know how you have to get 3 of each to close it out? Do you have to hit it 3 times, or can you hit a triple with one dart and close that number out in one shot? And a follow up question is if you need say 2 "20s" and you hit the triple 20 does that now close it out?

[ThaNZGamer]

@BratvaTV yes triples and doubles both me 3 or 2 points.

[bobmills911]

tnx bro

[HammerDimension]

So, you just hit a number 3 times and after that hitting it gives points until the opponent hits it 3 times? On Wikipedia it says you "open" it by hitting it 3 times and then it needs to be closed. I'm confused.

[fifemaster100]

@HammerDimension im confused on why you believe wikipedia

[HammerDimension]

@fifemaster100 because it tends to have accurate information

[chowdermarch42010]

@HammerDimension that's just an easier to understand way of saying it, think of "opening" as the first player closing it

[mgfhd]

I thought that all i needed to win is to target the middle small circle! :S

DART'S IS HARD TO UNDER STAND

@SCUBONZIES Not Really there are a lot of games to play in darts

[nflannery59]

and a lot of leaguer know this, scoring is one thing, strategy is a whole other you make up on your own. That is what Cricket is about, you dont learn mentality and strategy, you will most likely lose most of your cricket games, Trust me on this.

So let's say I hit the treble 20, another 20 and a 1 with my three darts... Does that close out my 20 when I hit the treble? Also, would my score for that throw be 81, or just 80 since the 1 is not a cricket number?

[lcspies]

@adramatictheme A triple hit on twenty would close 20 and your next triple you would score 60 because you don't score points until you close that number. 1 does not count. so your score would be 60 after all three darts.

[KalosKage]

I dodn't understand in the the other video that you made it was explained differently, here you say that you have to hit the number 3 times, means you can hit 3 times triple. In the other video you said that to close a number down 1 triple is enough..I'm really lost here, the other video is "how to keep score in darts"

[lcspies]

@KalosKage A single is one mark, a double is two marks, and a triple is 3 marks which closes that number. so three singles would be three marks and a close, a double and a single would close, and a triple would close. 3 trips on 20 and you close the number 20 to your opponent and you would score 60 points. and you can keep scoring on any 20 hits until he closes it.

So what if one hits a number (not 15-20), then is it just skipped?? Also, does each player only get to throw one dart at a turn or all three? Thanks

[lcspies]

@1369jeejee Correct...only the cricket numbers score (20, 19, 18,...) You throw all three darts in a turn.

[Lev8300]

wait so say my opponent closed 20 before me...does that mean i cant get points by hitting 20 even after i close it after him?...please answer...

[tommythetreat000]

@Lev8300 No. If your opponent closes any number before you, then you can not score any points on that same number. If you close a number before your opponent, then you can score points on that number until your opponent closes it.

[lexam55]

crazy score...what happen if i hit all time 180pionts

[ahtartersauce101]

My cousins and me play without the points but we have to close out the numbers in order.
