Darts terms you should know
Crack the darts code and make smarter bets with some jargon decoding:
• Oche – the line which the player must stand behind when throwing their darts.
• 180 – the maximum score with three darts (three treble-20s).
• Checkout – the total score needed to finish a leg. Players must always finish by hitting a double or bullseye with their last dart (for example, if a player needs 60 to checkout, they'll aim to hit single 20 followed by double-20).
• Bullseye – the very centre of the board, which scores 50 points. The outer ring of the bullseye is worth 25. A player can checkout on a bullseye, but not the outer bull.
• Shanghai – hitting a single, double and treble of the same number.
• 9-dart finish – the perfect leg of darts, typically 180, 180, followed by treble-20, treble-19, and double-12.
• Big fish – the nickname for the highest possible checkout, 170 (treble-20, treble-20, bullseye).
