"Okay, now I've taught you exactly what a dart is, the different parts of it, and exactly how to aim the dart. Now, in our games, you're going to need to know exactly what everything means on the dart board. So, what I have right here is a regulation dart board. Now, the dart board is comprised of all these numbers, but what do these numbers mean? I'm going to tell you. What we have is between one and twenty. Now you're going to notice that in the clockwise here they're not all in sequential order. We have one right here, we have a two down here, we have a three--it's all messed up, and that's for a reason. All these numbers have to be jumbled up for all the different games that we're going to be playing so that we can't go right down the order of the numbers. From one to twenty right here--in our first game, called Three's Company, we're only going to be using the numbers fourteen through twenty. Now, we're going to be using fourteen, fifteen, sixteen, seventeen, eighteen, nineteen and twenty. The reason for this is it's going to make it a lot harder for us because we're going to be throwing and we're going to be hitting five and nine and all these other numbers that aren't going to count. So, that's what all these numbers mean. I'm going to show you a little bit more about that when we actually start playing Three's Company."
