#Carts cricket scoring how to#

When you score points for landing darts on a number youвЂ™ve closed but your opponent has not, write these out to the side and keep a running total. When you hit your third of a number, you circle the X. When you hit your second of the number, cross it with another slash to get вЂњXвЂќ.

To mark a dart that lands in a target number, you write a slash beside it вЂњ/вЂќ. #5 To keep score, use the center section of the scoreboard thatвЂ™s usually marked cricket or cricketeer (if your board doesnвЂ™t have this, just write in 20, 19, 18, 17, 16, 15 and bull). Strategy is important in cricket because you need to make wise decisions on which numbers to go after.Дarts by Nico Jensen is licensed under CC BY 2.0ДЇor example, if your opponent closes their 20, you can either try and finish out your 20 to block them from scoring or try to close your 19 so you can score in that segment if your opponent hasnвЂ™t closed it. To close the bulls-eye, you throw both an inner and outer bull. #4 You can go through the numbers in any order, but going for the 20s first sets you up for a higher possible score. Once your opponent also closes out their 20 spot, any further 20s thrown donвЂ™t count for anyone. You score 20 for each dart that lands in a white area under the 20 and double that for the double ring, triple that for the triple ring. On your next turn, you can try and throw more 20s. The only way to score points in cricket is to throw on a number you have closed but your opponent has not.ДЇor example, if you closed your 20s on a prior turn but your opponent has no 20s or less than three, they are not closed. #3 If you close a number before your opponent, you can then score by continuing to throw that number before they close it. Hitting on the double ring counts as two and the triple ring counts as three.ДЇor example, if you land one dart in the white segment under the 19 and then one dart in the double ring area under the 19, you would have attained three 19s and would close it out. If you throw in the white area of one of the target number segments, that counts for one of the three you need. When you get three of that number, you close it. Your goal is to вЂњcloseвЂќ each of those six numbers then get a double bulls-eye. #2 As you play, you target only the number segments of 15 through 20 and the bulls-eye. If you both land in the same color bulls-eye area, itвЂ™s a tie and you rethrow. If you tie, the last person to throw will be the first to throw in a rematch to see who starts the game. Then you both throw in order and the one closest to a bulls-eye starts the game. #1 To start a game of cricket, you flip a coin for first throw. ItвЂ™s fun because there is an element of strategy that can give a beginner a chance to beat a more experienced player.
