Dart Board Anatomy

Dart boards come in many colors and sizes, but all dart boards feature the same scoring lay out. The target area is composed of 20 wedge shaped segments numbered 1 through 20. Each number represents the amount of points that the corresponding segment is worth. The area surrounding the dart board target area is called the outside circle. This is worth zero points.

There are two thin rings of higher scoring segments on the target area as well. The ring that runs along the outside of the target area is worth double points; the ring that runs between the bullseye and the outside ring is worth triple points. The very center circle on the dart board is called the double bullseye, and this is worth 50 points. The outer ring encircling the bullseye is called the single bullseye, and it is worth 25 points.
