Double In / Double Out
Options to start a game of darts include a ‘Double in’ or ‘Straight in’ throw. A ‘double in’ start means the player or team needs to hit a nominated double zone in order to start scoring. A “straight in’ start means that any number combination will start scoring in the game. A double out darts chart will assist you with finishing your game with the best combination of numbers, ending with a double.
Double Out Darts
“Double Out” means that the player needs to hit a double score to finish the round. For example, in a 501 or 301 game, if the player has a score of 40 remaining, they need to double out by hitting the 20 in the double zone.
The double zone is located in the outer ring of the dart board, plus the green ring in the center of the board around the “Bulls Eye”. The inner ring on the dartboard is the Triple score zone. This zone is used to gain high scores whereas the double zone is predominantly used to double out to finish a game.
Doubling out requires a lot of practice and a bit of maths to get the optimum combination to get to an even number on your last throw to double out.
A double out chart can assist with learning combinations for completing your game of darts. Feel free to copy and print off the chart above for your own use. Learning the best combinations and how to become strategic at scoring to give you the best “double out” combinations to finish your game is one of the most challenging parts of the Game of Darts.
