The most
popular dart game variation is the ‘01 game, with 301 and 501 as
the most common singles' games, and 701 or 1001 for teams. The object
of
the game is to count down from the starting number to exactly zero.

Ø |
Each player takes a three-throw turn subtracting
the point value of their hits from the number (301, 501, 701, etc.)
chosen at the start of the game. |
Ø |
In order to start scoring when
playing 301, a player must first hit a double. |

In
all ‘01
games the player must finish the game with a double. |

If
the total score of the three darts in a turn exceeds the remaining
score for
that player or team, the player has “busted” and
the score returns to what is was at the beginning of the turn. |

A
double bull counts as 50 and can also be used to start or finish
a game. |
