Rules of Standard Play or 501:
The winner is the first player to reach zero from a starting
score of 501. During a player’s turn, the player throws
three darts and subtracts the total from the previous score
until the score reaches zero.
This game is simple, but it becomes tricky as the players
near the zero score. To win, a player not only has to reach
zero exactly, but also must obtain it through a “double.” For
example, if a player has 18 points left, it’s necessary to hit
a double 9 in order to win. The closer each player gets to
zero, the more exciting and difficult Standard Play
becomes.
Standard Play can also be started from point values of
301, 601, 801, 1001 and any other value ending in 01.
This is a popular game played throughout the world.
Beginning Play:
To determine who plays first, each player throws one dart.
The player who hits closest to the bullseye decides the
throwing order of all players.
Storage: Magnetic darts can be stored inside the board
when rolled up.
Safety: Always use common sense when throwing darts,
and never aim or throw them at another person.
Thrown & Dropped Darts:
If a player drops a dart while preparing to throw, the throw
does not count and the player can retry. However, if the
player’s arm is in the beginning of a throwing motion
and a dart is dropped, then it counts as a throw. Any dart
