Have you ever taken a long look at a dart board? It's pretty poorly designed if you ask me. This is how I was taught to play: The bullseye (center of the board) is worth 25 points. The inner bullseye is worth 50 points. Darts that fall in the outer ring are worth double the point value of the zone. (poorly worded, I know). For example, a dart falling in the outer ring of the 18 point zone will be worth 36 points. Finally, darts that fall in the middle ring are worth triple the point value of the zone. A dart falling in the inner ring of the 18 point zone is worth 54 points. Also, you get three shots per round!
My issue with the dart board? You can get more points for hitting a number of the inner ring areas than the bullseye. That's crap! Isn't the point of darts hitting as close to the center as possible? Not with the way THIS board is drawn up.
Hypothetically, you could luckily hit an inner ring zone worth 54 points and miss your next two shots. Next round you could hit three darts on the board closer to the bullseye (but not in it) and score less than your first round! That's horrendous. What's the point of this game again???
