Darts checkout chart: every finish from 170 to 2

Von ProxySys5. Nov. 20266 Min. Lesezeit

In 501 you must finish exactly on zero, and your last dart must land in a double or the bullseye. This chart gives one good route for every score you can finish in three darts, from the highest possible, 170, down to 2.

How to read the chart

T20 is treble 20 (60 points), D20 is double 20 (40 points) and S20 is single 20 (20 points).
25 is the outer bull (25 points). Bull is the inner bull (50 points), and it counts as a double, so you can finish on it.
Throw the darts in the order shown. If you miss, work out what is left and look that number up.

Scores you cannot finish in three darts

Seven scores below 170 have no three-dart finish: 169, 168, 166, 165, 163, 162 and 159. Players call them bogey numbers. If you are on one of them, your job this visit is to leave a good finish for the next one. From 169, for example, T20 leaves 109, and a further T19 leaves 52.

130 to 101

Most players want to reach this range with three darts in hand. Here a missed treble can often still leave a finish.

100 to 61

Two darts are enough for almost all of these, so you may have a spare dart if the first one misses.

60 to 41

A single and a double. Aim at the fat part of the single, so a slight miss does not cost you the visit.

40 to 2

Even numbers go out on one double. With an odd number, hit a single first to leave a double.

Common alternatives

The chart favours D20 and D16, but there is often more than one sensible route:

138: T20, T14, D18 instead of Bull, T16, D20, if you dislike throwing at the bull first.
125: 25, T20, D20 is the same score as T20, 25, D20, and many players start with the outer bull.
100: T20, D20 is standard. The only other two-dart route is Bull, Bull.
40: if you miss D20 and hit S20, you are left with 20, which is D10. Missing inside the board keeps you on a double.

That last point is why players like 40 and 32. Halving a double leaves another double: 32, 16, 8, 4, 2.

Plan your leave

When you cannot finish this visit, do not just throw for the highest score. Good habits:

Leave an even number. An even score goes out on one dart, an odd score needs two.
Stay off the bogey numbers. On 180 or so, check what your last dart will leave.
Use your favourite double. If D16 is your best, aim to leave 32. A chart is a starting point, not a law.
Know what a miss leaves. Before you throw at T19 for 97, know that S19 leaves 78 and that you still have a finish.

How to learn it

Do not try to memorise 160 numbers. Learn in this order: all finishes up to 40, then 41 to 60, then the round numbers (100, 120, 140, 170), then fill in the gaps. Say the route out loud before you throw it.

A simple drill: start at 61, try to finish in nine darts, then move to 62. If you fail, go back one. Stop at the first number you cannot reach and start from there next time.

Have the routes on screen while you play

Darts4Fun, DevQuake’s darts app, works these routes out as you play: it suggests a finish for the darts you have left, takes your favourite double into account, and has a checkout drill. Its statistics show which doubles you really hit, so you can choose your routes from your own numbers. The chart above comes from the same calculation.
