How to Score the Dart Game Cricket

Video Transcript

"Hi, this is Rich Buccola here in Astoria Queens at the world's famous Doyle's Corner and, on behalf of Expert Village, today we're going to show you how to throw some darts. So, what I want to do now is just reiterate on what we were talking about on the board and closing twenties, nineteens. Each player is going to throw three darts. So, say you happen to you know, you want to close your twenties down. That's why the board is set up that way. Strategically, it's the best way to maneuver yourself to get out. You want to close each individual number and the corks, and you will win the game, providing you have the most points. When I'm done with this clip, showing the board, I'll explain the strategy and the points. But, basically, you have this is the outside of the board here. Anything that hits outside here is nothing. So, if you hit anything out here, it's nothing. But, around the board you have this thin line. All of these numbers here, if you hit into this, is double. So, this would be the double twenty I was talking about. The black portions, these two portions, are single twenty. And you can see why, because it's a bigger portion to hit, of course it's going to be less value. This being the hardest to hit, because it's the smallest area, will give you a triple twenty, closing your twenty out or giving you three twenties. But, say you were to hit four twenties in one shot and your opponent didn't close his twenties yet you would actually close your twenties and have twenty points. When I come back, I'm going to show you about strategy and how to finish the game of Cricket. Oh wait, just one more thing. The bullseye the red part of the bullseye is two bullseyes. It also counts for fifty points. And the inner spot of the bullseye, the green part, is twenty five or one bullseye. When I come back, we're going to show you more strategy and closing up the game of Cricket."
