You start with 501 points in darts and try to get down to zero points. 9 or 10 feet is the right distance to throw from.

Most people stand about 15 feet max. Personally i stand about 75-100 yards back. That's just me though, I'm an ace sniper, so i do have an advantage.

The line should be placed 7 feet 9 and 1/4 inch from the dart board. This is measured horizontally from the center of the board.

Answer by  syllabus69 (114)

You stand 8 feet from the dart board and throw darts at the board. There are different game types but the majority of them involve scoring more points than your opponent by hitting the higher numbers with the darts on your throw. You get three throws and then your opponent goes back and forth until a winner is determined

Answer by  brs (24)

The dart board should be hung so that the center of the bullseye is 5 feet 8 inches (1. 74 meters) from the ground. The throw line should be 7 feet 9 and 1/4 inches (2. 37 meters) from the dart board. This should be measured from the front of the dartboard, not the wall.
