The equipment needed to play darts is as follows:
- A good dartboard
- A set of three darts, either soft-tipped or steel-tipped.
- A safe, well lit place to play.
Dartboards
The standard international dartboard is known as the "clock" board. It is 18 inches in diameter and has 30 numbered, pie-shaped segments of equal size, plus the bull's-eye. Each numbered segment has a double ring on the outside perimeter of the scoring area and an interior triple ring (which count as double and triple of that number respectively). The bull's-eye has an outerbull area (also know as the single bull, which scores 25) and an inner bull (also known as a double bull's-eye, which scores 50).
Setting up a dartboard
- Height: 5 feet. 8 inches from floor to the center of the bull's-eye.
- Distance from front of the board to the throwing line: 7 feet 9 1/4 inches. To mark the throw line a simple piece of tape will suffice. Major tournaments, however, use a "hockey" which is a thin raised strip of wood approximately 1 1/2 inches high (see image diagram below).
- Mounting: Flush to the wall - not leaning like a picture - with the 20 at the top.
- Location: Since darts often bounce out of the board, never put a board up near windows or breakables or where anyone could walk between the throwline and the dartboard.
