Checkout King

Checkout King is darts checkout practice with a streak to chase. You get random finishes and three darts for each one. Check it and your streak grows, miss it and the streak is back to zero. Sridu shows the way out before every dart and keeps your record.

  • Play alone for a record or side by side with friends
  • The way out shown as tiles and updated after every dart
  • Each dart shows what it leaves, and a violet lock appears once the finish is gone
  • Every finish in one row, with your streak and record right next to it
  • Classic rules by default, or pick another range, out, number of darts or sudden death

Two finishes from one run, drawn the way the app shows them. Anna is on a streak of 3 and her record is 4. On 81 the way out is T15 and D18. She hits the treble, then only the single 18, so the app switches to D9. Check, streak 4. Next is 67: T9, then the single 20 instead of the double. Before her last dart the panel turns amber because the streak is on the line. Double 10 gives her a new best of 5.

The rules

How a run works

It’s the classic checkout drill: one finish per visit, for as many visits as you like.

  1. You get a finishA random number from the range you picked, 41 to 98 by default. You only get finishes that can be checked out in three darts.
  2. Three darts to check outDouble out: you need exactly zero, with the last dart in a double or the bullseye. Scoring too many, reaching zero on a single or leaving 1 is a bust.
  3. Check it and the streak growsIf you miss, bust or are left with no way out, the streak drops back to 0. Either way, the next finish comes straight up.
  4. Your record is your longest streakThrow for as long as you like or set a number of finishes. Sridu saves your best streak.

In the game

You always know the way out

Checkout King is about knowing your way out. This is what the screen shows while you throw:

  • The way out as tiles: one tile per dart with the next one lit, recalculated after every dart. The field to aim at lights up on the board.
  • What each dart did: “leaves 36”, “Check”, “Bust” or “no way out”.
  • The violet lock: the board locks after a bust, or when the score left can’t be checked out with the darts in your hand. Any darts you still hold don’t count.
  • Your finishes in a row under the panel. Checks are green with one dot per dart used, misses are red, and the current streak is underlined. Next to the row you see your checkouts, your checkout rate, the streak and your record. With more players it also shows how far ahead or behind you are.
  • What is on the line: when you have a streak going, the panel tells you. Before your last dart it turns amber, in sudden death red.
  • The big moments: every check gets a callout on screen. Streaks of 3, 5, 10, 15 and so on get a bigger one, and a new best gets the biggest. When a streak of 3 or more ends, you see that too.
  • The caller announces every new finish: “Anna, you require 81”.

Scoring

Four ways a finish ends

Only a check keeps your streak going:

  • Left40Check
    1. D20Check
    Streak +1

    Exactly zero, with the last dart on a double or the bullseye. The streak goes up by one and the next finish comes up.

  • Left40Bust
    1. 20leaves 20
    2. 20Bust
    Streak 0

    Zero on a single, more than you needed, or 1 left. The finish is gone and the board locks, so the dart you still hold doesn’t count.

  • Left80No way out
    1. T16leaves 32
    2. 5no way out
    Streak 0

    27 left with one dart can’t be checked out. The app ends the finish right there instead of letting you throw for nothing.

  • Left60Missed
    1. 20leaves 40
    2. 20leaves 20
    3. 10leaves 10
    Streak 0

    Three darts gone and still 10 left. The streak drops back to 0 and the next finish comes up.

Setting · Range

Which finishes come up

There are five ranges, from plain doubles up to the big finishes. Scores that can’t be checked out in three darts, like 163 or 169, never come up.

  • 2 to 40Doubles
    Left32
    Checkout · 1 dartDouble Out
    1. Dart 1D16

    Even numbers go out with one double, odd ones need a single first. Pure doubles practice.

  • 41 to 98Default
    Left57
    Checkout · 2 dartsDouble Out
    1. Dart 117
    2. Dart 2D20

    The classic range. Most finishes take two darts: a single or a treble to set up, then the double.

  • 61 to 120Harder
    Left100
    Checkout · 2 dartsDouble Out
    1. Dart 1T20
    2. Dart 2D20

    Now you need the trebles. 100 is T20 and D20, and anything above 110 takes three darts.

  • 99 to 170Big finishes
    Left121
    Checkout · 3 dartsDouble Out
    1. Dart 1T20
    2. Dart 2T7
    3. Dart 3D20

    Mostly three-dart finishes, all the way up to 170. For the days you want to feel like a pro.

  • 2 to 170All
    Left90
    Checkout · 2 dartsDouble Out
    1. Dart 1Bull
    2. Dart 2D20

    Everything mixed, from a plain double up to 170. You never know what comes next.

Setting · Checkout

Double, master or single out

Here is 80 left in each mode, with the way out the app shows:

  • Double OutDefault
    Left80
    Checkout · 2 dartsDouble Out
    1. Dart 1T16
    2. Dart 2D16

    The classic: the last dart has to be a double or the bullseye. 80 is T16 and D16.

  • Master OutEasier
    Left80
    Checkout · 2 dartsMaster Out
    1. Dart 1T20
    2. Dart 2D10

    A treble checks out too, so more scores go out in one dart, like 57 on treble 19.

  • Single OutEasiest
    Left80
    Checkout · 2 dartsSingle Out
    1. Dart 1T20
    2. Dart 220

    Any segment checks out, the fat single too. Good for learning to work out finishes.

Setting · Darts per finish

One visit, more visits, or par

The classic gives you one visit per finish. More visits make it easier, par makes it harder:

  • 3Default
    Visit 1 · 90
    1. Bullleaves 40
    2. 20leaves 20
    3. D10Check

    The classic: one visit of three darts for every finish.

  • 6 · 9Easier
    Visit 1 · 90
    1. 20leaves 70
    2. 20leaves 50
    3. 5leaves 45
    Visit 2 · 45
    1. 5leaves 40
    2. D20Check

    Two or three visits for every finish. Whatever is left carries over to your next visit. A bust costs you the visit and puts the score back to where it was. Room to set up a finish.

  • ParHarder
    1. 401 dartD20
    2. 802 dartsT16 · D16
    3. 993 dartsT19 · 2 · D20

    Only the minimum darts the finish needs: one for 40, two for 80, three for 99. When they are gone, so is the finish.

Setting · How long a run lasts

Endless, a set number, or sudden death

Chase a streak for as long as you like, play a match side by side, or let one miss end it all:

  • EndlessDefault
    1. 52✓••
    2. 70✗
    3. 88✓•••
    4. 41✓••
    5. 62✓••
    6. 58

    Throw until you want to stop. Your record is your longest streak, saved separately for every range and variant.

  • 10 or 20 finishesA match
    1. 52✓••
    2. 70✗
    3. 88✓•••
    4. 41✓••
    5. 62

    A set number of finishes, or any number you type in. Side by side, most checkouts wins. Ties go to the longer streak, then to fewer darts.

  • Sudden deathHarder
    1. 52✓••
    2. 88✓•••
    3. 41✓••
    4. 62✓••
    5. 70✗

    The first missed finish ends the run, so your score is your streak. Before every last dart the panel turns red. With more players, whoever misses is out and the rest play on.

Setup

Start a run

You’ll find Checkout King among the training games on the play screen. Pick it, choose your rules and start.

  • PlayersPlay alone for a record or side by side with friends or bots.
  • Range41 to 98 (default), 2 to 40, 61 to 120, 99 to 170, or everything from 2 to 170. See the ranges.
  • CheckoutDouble out (default), master out or single out. See the out modes.
  • Darts per finish3 (default), 6, 9 or par. See the difference.
  • RoundsEndless (default), 10, 20 or any number you type in.
  • Sudden deathOff by default. Switch it on and the first missed finish ends the run. See how long a run lasts.
  • HandicapsEach player can have their own darts per finish (3, 6, 9 or par) and their own out. A beginner can play single out with six darts while everyone else plays double out with three.
  • Who throws firstThe first player in the list, a bull-off, or random.

Tips

Longer streaks in your darts checkout practice

  • Learn your checkouts. The tiles show a good route for every score. Call your route before you throw, then compare it with the tiles. Every route is also in the darts checkout chart and calculator.
  • Leave a friendly double. 32 is the favourite. Hit the single 16 instead of the double and you still have 16 left, which is double 8.
  • Start small. 2 to 40 is pure doubles practice. Move up to 41 to 98 once your streaks get long.
  • Use more darts to learn the setup. With 6 darts a bust only costs you the visit, and you practise the visit that sets up your double.
  • Too easy? Go for par. You only get the minimum number of darts, so every setup dart has to be on target.
  • Mind the amber. When the panel turns amber, your streak rides on the next dart. Take your time over it.
  • Every finish from 61 to 100. Catch 40 takes them in order, six darts each, with 3 points for a checkout in two darts.
