An indoor game played by throwing three darts (or ‘arrows’) at a circular board. The throwing distance is normally 8 ft (2·4 m), and the height from the floor to the centre of the board (known as the bull) is 5 ft 8 in (1·7 m). The standard dartboard is divided into 20 segments, numbered 1–20, but not in numerical order. Within each segment are progressively smaller segments which either double or treble that number's score if hit. The centre ring (the bull) is worth 50 points, and the area around it (the outer) is worth 25 points. The most popular game in the UK is 501, in which players start at that figure and deduct all scores from it; the final shot must consist of a double. The modern game is credited to a Lancashire carpenter Brian Gamlin (1852–1903) who devised the present-day board and scoring system.
