Darts: one each
To commence the game each player throws one dart, the nearest to the Bullseye has first shot (the break).
The player breaking then must throw a number between 1 - 15 (inclusive) this is counted as a (red ball) if he cannot throw a number between 1 - 15 the next player has a turn.
If the player is successful in throwing a number between 1 - 15 he scores one point, he must then shoot for a coloured ball, numbered between 16 - Bullseye.

1 point |
16 Yellow |

17 Green |
3 points |
18 Brown |
4 points |
19 Blue |
5 points |
20 Pink |
6 points |
Bullseye Black |
7 points |
This chart shows the points value of each number and their respective colours.
After scoring a red ball (1 point) he must then nominate the number (colour) he is shooting for and throw that number, after hitting that number he must then throw another number between 1 - 15 (excluding the first dart scored). If he is successful he then nominates another colour and shoots for that colour. If the player hits another colour and not the one nominated, it is a four point penalty to his opponent, if he hits the blue, pink, black the penalty is the face value of that colour.
If a player is shooting for a red ball and hits a colour ball it is a four point penalty or face value of the colour hit.
If a player is shooting for a nominated colour and hits a red ball, it is counted as a miss and no penalty points are given.
Each time a red ball (1 - 15) is hit its removed from the scoreboard and no longer in the game. If a red ball is hit while going for a coloured bail it remains in the game.Each time a coloured ball is hit and there are still red balls remaining on the scoreboard, this ball stays in the game.
When all (15) red balls are hit; you must then proceed in hitting the coloured balls in order of points (as shown on chart) as these balls get hit they are removed from the game. Each time a coloured ball is hit out of order a penalty of 4 points is given or face value. If a player throws a dart outside the (doubles) circle, and stays in the board it is counted as a miss and no penalty points are given.
If a player throws a dart and it falls from the board it is a 4 point penalty. Doubles and triples are counted as single numbers.

Darts is a sport enjoyed by all regardless of age or gender. People play for fun while others take this sport very seriously. The ’01 game is the most common followed by ‘Cricket’ I call it American Cricket because it has no refence to wickets, bats, balls or runs.

Some are designed for the not so skilled while others do require a lot of skill to play well. A larger list of games and rules is availble on the main Darts501.com website
