"Hi! My name is Dane Teixeira, the president of the Broward County Darting Association. We're here at Archies West Practice Facility talking about playing darts. Dart board rules, let's talk about dart board rules for a second. In this dart boards, this is an outer ring which is called a double ring. These are all singles, the white and the black parts and these are triples. This is an outer bull which is a single and inner bull which is a double. These are the numbers used in playing the game of cricket. There are numbers from twenty down fifteen including the bull's eye. To score in this game of cricket, you must score three of each of these numbers. Not all at the same time but each number is it's own little separate battleground in this game and the game is about scoring as many more points than the other guy and to stop the guy from scoring points, all you have to do is do the same thing on this side and then nobody can score points on that number anymore. And this continues all the way down until the end and simplicity whoever has the most points in the end wins. If he's got 20 points and you have 0 then he win in the end. That's the simplicity but dart board and dart board rules are real simple. You have three darts, you throw 'em at the dart board individually and they all count individually. Some may bounce off of the wires on the board, those don't count unfortunately but that just how it goes. So, it's a very simple way to play these games and it's three dart boards, three darts I'm sorry, one at a time and in the end like I said whoever has the most points in this game wins. Dart playing is very appealing to people because it is almost like a drug. In that the euphoria that one feels when hitting a perfect round or a very great round or having a great game is a feeling that is chased around for years and it's what brings people back over and over and over again to darts."
