Darts

Darts is a precision sport in which small, pointed missiles called darts are thrown at a circular target known as a dartboard. The objective is to score points by hitting specific areas of the board, which is divided into numbered sections and includes a bullseye at the center. Darts can be played individually or in teams, often in a casual setting, such as bars or homes, but also in competitive tournaments at various levels. The game involves different variations, with popular formats including “501,” where players start with a score of 501 and aim to reduce it to exactly zero, and “cricket,” which focuses on hitting specific numbers to close them out and score points. Darts emphasizes skill, hand-eye coordination, and strategy, and has a dedicated following with professional organizations and championships worldwide.
