Dart cricket is a game played by two people or two teams competing against each other. Unlike many other dart games, much of the dartboard gets ignored in cricket, in which you try to hit only the numbers 15 through 20 and the bull’s-eye. In order to win, you’ll need to throw the darts accurately, however you’ll also need to understand the rules in order to capitalize on your opponent’s weaknesses.

Looking to learn how to play 501 darts? You’ve found the right place. Read on and I’ll explain the rules of the game and show you a site where you can learn to improve your game further.
Easily one of one of the best games in order to play while at a sports bar, or at a party is playing a game of darts. There are many options when playing darts, but one of my favorites is 501. To start, all players start with 501 points.
The idea in 501 is to get your point total right down to 0. To begin, all players throw at the board, and the first one to strike a double (the small ring around the outer edge of the dartboard), has now doubled-in. For example, if you hit a double 20, you subtract 40 points from your score. You now have 461 points left. You cannot start deducting points until you’ve thrown a double. Once you’ve doubled in, all darts after this deduct from your point value.
To win the game, you must also double out. For instance, if you have 40 points left, and you hit a double 20, you have won the game. If you have 16 points left, you must hit double 8. A dart thrown that scores more than 16 is a bust. If you bust, you forfeit your turn and return to the points you started with before you busted.
Now that you know the rules, all that is left is to enjoy a beer and beat all your friends next time you play.
