Complete darts guide
Whether you're a beginner or experienced player, this guide covers everything you need to know about darts: rules, equipment, tournaments and community.
Game basics
Darts is played on a circular board divided into 20 numbered sectors. The two most popular formats are 501 (count down from 501, finish on a double) and Cricket (close sectors 15-20 and the bull). Matches are played in sets of 3 or 5 legs.
Choosing your equipment
Choosing the right darts is essential for progress. Weight (16g to 30g), tip type (steel or soft), barrel grip and flight shape all affect your throw. Beginners usually start with 22-24g brass darts before upgrading to tungsten.
