Darts at a Number

Pick one number and throw a hundred darts at it. A single scores 1, a double 2, a treble 3, anything else nothing. Darts at a Number is the classic drill for grouping on the 20, and any other number works the same way. Sridu scores every dart and keeps your hit rate, streak and record as you throw.

The end of a run of 100 darts at the 20, drawn the way the app shows it. Anna has 110 points with 7 darts left and a record of 116. Treble, single, treble takes her to 117, a new best. Two more trebles follow, the hint shows what the third is worth, and she hits it for a perfect 3 × T20. Below are her visits as bars, her singles, doubles and trebles and her streak.

The rules

How Darts at a Number works

With more than one player, everyone throws the same number of darts, visit by visit. The most points wins. A tie goes to fewer darts, then to the best visit, then to the longer streak.

Pick your numberThe 20 is the default. The 19, 18, 17, 16, 15, the bull or any number you type in work the same way.
Throw your darts100 darts is the default, three per visit. Only the chosen number scores: 1 point for a single, 2 for a double, 3 for a treble. At the bull the 25 scores 1 and the bullseye 2.
Count the ringsAnything outside the number is off target and scores nothing. The best possible visit is three trebles for 9.
Beat your recordYour points after the last dart are the result. Sridu keeps a separate best for each number, each dart count and each variant.

In the game

What you see as you throw

A hundred darts at one number takes a while. The app shows you what every single dart was worth:

The number lights up: the board highlights all three rings of the number that scores. With trebles only or doubles only, just that ring lights up.
A result for every dart: “+3” for a treble, “+1” for a single, “off target” for the neighbours and “no treble” for a near miss when only the treble counts.
Your streak: once three scoring darts land in a row, the hint counts your streak across visits: “7 in a row”.
A perfect visit in reach: after two trebles the hint shows what the third is worth: “T20 for a perfect 9”.
Your pace and your record: a bar shows the darts you have left. “On course for 127” projects your final score from your rate so far. Next to it are your record for this setting and the points per visit a new record needs.
Every visit as a bar: the more it scored, the brighter the bar, and a perfect 9 shows in gold. Underneath are your singles, doubles and trebles on the number, your current streak and your best one.
The big moments: a perfect visit, a new best and every tenth hit in a row get a callout (every fifth at the bull or with one ring only). On your last visit the panel turns amber.
Side by side: the panel shows your hit rate and how far you lead or trail the best of the others. The caller announces every visit.

The darts or the clock

100 darts is the classic. Against the clock you throw as many as you can in the time:

100 darts means 33 full visits and one last dart. On your last visit the whole panel turns amber and the hint tells you, here that 2 points with the last dart make a new record. Against the clock the same happens in the last minute.

Setting · Scoring

All three rings, trebles only or doubles only

Classic scoring counts all three rings of the number. Limit it to one ring and every dart has to be spot on:

S 1 · D 2 · T 3Default
+6
1. T20+3
2. 20+1
3. D20+2
The classic: a single scores 1, a double 2, a treble 3. Everything outside the number scores nothing. The board lights the whole number, so you see what scores.
Trebles onlyHarder
+2
1. T20+1
2. 20no treble
3. T20+1
Only the treble counts, one point each. A single or a double of the number is a near miss: it scores nothing and breaks your streak, but the panel still counts it. The board lights the treble alone.
Doubles onlyHarder
+1
1. D16+1
2. 16no double
3. 8off target
Only the double counts, one point each: a drill for your favourite finishing double. Every scoring variant keeps a record of its own. At the bull there is nothing to choose: 25 scores 1, the bullseye 2.

Setting · Misses

Unlimited misses, three or sudden death

There is no miss limit by default. Set one and every dart that fails to score costs you:

UnlimitedDefault
1. 1off target
2. T20+3
3. 20+1
+4
The classic: a miss costs you nothing but the dart. You throw until your darts or the clock run out.
3 missesHarder
1. 20+1
2. 5off target
3. –Dart 3
♥♡♡+1The next miss ends the run
The third dart that does not score ends your run. Your card shows the misses you have left as hearts. When you are down to the last one, the hint warns you and the panel turns amber.
Sudden deathHardest
1. T20+3
2. 20+1
3. 1run over
♡OutRun over: 31 points
The first miss ends it, so your score is how far you got without one. Side by side, whoever is out sits and watches the others throw on. Against the clock the run ends when everybody is out.

Setup

Start a run

Darts at a Number sits with the training games on the play screen. Pick it, set the rules and start. Records are kept for the preset values.

PlayersAlone for a record, or against friends or bots.
Number20 (the default), 19, 18, 17, 16, 15, the bull or any number from 1 to 20.
LimitDarts (the default) or time. See the darts or the clock.
Darts100 (the default), 30, 60 or a number you type in.
Minutes3, 5, 10 or a number you type in, when you play against the clock.
ScoringS 1 · D 2 · T 3 (the default), Trebles only or Doubles only. See scoring.
MissesUnlimited (the default), 3 misses or sudden death. See misses.
HandicapsGive any player a head start in points, so a beginner can start on 20 while the others start on 0.
Who throws firstWhoever is top of the list, a bull-off or a random draw.

Tips

Group tighter on your number

Aim at the treble, live with the single. A dart that drops into the single still scores and keeps your streak alive.
Watch the hit rate. It shows how often you stay in the bed at all. Your points show how often you find the treble as well.
Train the 19 too. When the 20 bed is blocked in a match, the 19 is where you go. Each number keeps its own record.
Pick your double. Doubles only on the 16 or the 20 turns the drill into finishing practice with a record of its own.
Short on time? Play a short run. 30 darts or three minutes still give you a score you can compare.
Play sudden death to add pressure. One dart outside the number ends the run, which is good practice for the nerves you need in a match.
