The Darts Score Calculator is a tool designed to help players calculate their total score accurately based on where their darts land on the dartboard. Darts scoring can sometimes be confusing due to different scoring areas, including single, double, and triple sections, as well as the bullseye.
This calculator ensures quick and precise calculations, allowing players to focus on improving their strategy rather than manually tracking scores. It is useful for casual players, competitive darts enthusiasts, and tournament organizers who want a reliable way to keep score.
Formula for Darts Score Calculator
The total score in darts is calculated using the following formula:
Total Score = (Sum of Single Hits) + (2 × Sum of Double Hits) + (3 × Sum of Triple Hits) + Bullseye Score
Where:
- Sum of Single Hits = Total points from darts landing in single-number areas
- Sum of Double Hits = Total points from darts landing in double-number areas (doubled)
- Sum of Triple Hits = Total points from darts landing in triple-number areas (tripled)
- Bullseye Score = 50 points for inner bullseye, 25 points for outer bullseye
This formula helps determine the total score based on where each dart lands on the dartboard.
Darts Score Estimation Table
The table below provides common scoring values based on different dart placements.
| Dart Placement | Scoring Rule | Example Score |
|---|---|---|
| Single Hit | Normal value of the number hit | Single 20 = 20 points |
| Double Hit | 2 × the number hit | Double 10 = 20 points |
| Triple Hit | 3 × the number hit | Triple 5 = 15 points |
| Outer Bullseye | 25 points | Outer bullseye = 25 points |
| Inner Bullseye | 50 points | Inner bullseye = 50 points |
This table helps players quickly estimate scores based on dart placement.
Example of Darts Score Calculator
A player throws three darts and hits the following:
- Triple 20 → (3 × 20) = 60 points
- Double 10 → (2 × 10) = 20 points
- Inner Bullseye → 50 points
Step 1: Apply Values to the Formula
Total Score = (Sum of Single Hits) + (2 × Sum of Double Hits) + (3 × Sum of Triple Hits) + Bullseye Score
Total Score = (0) + (2 × 10) + (3 × 20) + 50 = 130 points
This means the player scored 130 points in this round.
Most Common FAQs
The most common professional format is 501 or 301 points, where players must reach exactly zero points, finishing with a double.
If a player exceeds the target score, the round is bust, and their turn ends without any points being count.
