what height should the bullseye be from the ground on a dartboard & how far back should men/women stand?
409599
The Official throwing distance, for most countries, is 2.37 meters, as measured along the floor, from the plane of the face of the dartboard. In feet, this is 7 feet, 9-1/4 inches. The height of the board, to the center of the bull, is 173 centimeters, or 5 feet, 8 inches.\n\nCheck the link if you need more info!

No there is not a standard or rule about the height.  A have seem courses with a hole the requires a 12 to 15 foot pole.  The reason is the hole is so steep going up to the green, it requires a longer pols so you can see the flag.  The course I'm thinking about is on a Air Force base in San Antonio TX.

Of course. If you're talking darts though athelete might not be the best word for darts players, you're allowed to drink alcohol when you're playing! Sportman/Sportswoman would probably be more appropiate. But yes woman are as much atheletes as men, the word doesn't specifiy, it is greek for "to compete"

The usual rule of thumb when building a trebuchet is the throwing arm should be 3/4 of your length and the weighted part should be 1/4.  so w/ an 18" throwing arm I would say about 13-14" should be about right.\n\nIf you want to get into more complicated measurements I suggesting using ATreb.  You can get it here and it give a good lay out and judgment for how much distance you will get for your throwing arm and weight.  http://www.rlt.com/trebuchet/sim/\n\nOr they have some free plans here: http://www.ripcord.ws/\nIf done right you can throw a tennis ball a good 50+ foot on a bad day.

this is the Robin Hood senario.\n\nthe answer is def. no it doesn,t score.\ndifferent pubs around the country-same as when you are playing pool-will have their different interpretation of the rules.but it happens often in the big major television tournaments and only the first dart scores.\n\njust checked the world darts federation and other professional sites and the consensus is a dart will only score if it is in or touching the surface of the board until the player,s turn is over and the score has been recorded by the scorer.\n\nanother variation is that the dart must stay in surface of board for a minimum of 5 seconds to score,unless of course you,re playing electronic darts.\n\nso the answer is 100per cent no it doesn,t score!and in 30 years of playing the game all over europe i,ve never known anyone other than school kids to expect it to!\nit actually happened last night on tv.\nso i presume the big tournaments have got the rules right!

Pony the answer by JT is not really correct. If you start playing your irons out towards your left foot (for a right handed player) I think you'll have a tendency to blade or thin more shots, which is definitely not what you want. \n\nI think ball position might be an issue, but remember you have to hit down on the ball to make it go up! So play all irons up to your 5 irons in the middle of your stance, and then just slightly forward of middle for your 4 and 3 iron. \n\nTo make sure the ball is in the middle of your stance, setup to the ball and then lay a club down parralel to your feet and then lay one perpendicular to the one at your feet bisecting the ball. It should look like a big plus sign, and it should be easier to tell if the ball is in the middle of your stance. \n\nYou can hit balls with this aid, just pull the bisecting club back away from the ball about a foot and then use it as a guide to take your stance. \n\nAlso aim the club that's parrelel to your feet at the target, this will help you aim correctly. \n\nAnd remember....PRACTICE!!! ;)

The quickest way out is a 9 dart finish, \n\nThats SEVEN treble twentys = 420\nThe remaining 81 points must be made up of any treble/double combination to finish. for example\ntreble 19 followed by double 12 = 81\ntreble 17 followed by double 15 = 81\n\nYOU MUST FINISH ON A DOUBLE unless you've worked it to finish on the bullseye (50pts) Finishes on the bull are rare though

23\n\n0 can be scored by not hitting the board(it could also be argued that 0 is not a true number). 1-20 are regular numbers. 21 is treble 7, 22 is double 11. 23 is the first prime number and can only be divided by itself and 1. therefore not available on a dartboard. \n\nGood lord - dont I sound brainy!!

if it a soft-tip board then it is very common. the tip of the dart has to go straight in one of the holes to stick. the impact of the dart should still register a score regardless if the dart sticks or not. Don't forget that in soft-tip darts there is a limit on the weight of the dart which is 16 grams. that is a very very light dart.

The dart board is hung so that the center of the bullseye is 1.74m (5'8") from the floor. The throwing line, which is also referred to as the oche (pronounced "ockey"), the ockey (mostly in America), or the toeline, is generally located 2.37m (7'9.25") from the face of the dartboard measured horizontally. This is the recognized world standard asset by the World Darts Federation and is played as such in most areas. However, there are variations in distance and some people play from 2.29m (7'6"), 2.44m (8') and as far as 2.74m (9').\n\nWhen hanging the board care must be taken to ensure that the floor does not slope away from the wall. If it does, the height of the bullseye will not be located the correct height from the floor in relationship to where the player is standing. If this is the case, the location of the dart board on the wall will have to be adjusted either up or down whichever the case may be.

Many drinking establishments in the medieval era prohibited games of chance... so darts has always been considered a game of skill, and a pub staple ever since. The "official" arrangement changed over time, in it's current form for over 100 years now.\n\nThere are 2,432,902,008,176,640,000 (over 2.4 quintillion) different possible arrangements of the 20 segments on a standard dartboard. The present design is almost perfect in risk/reward arrangement.
