Thanks. And yes, a lot of people have tried to 'correct' me by saying that it's a 'double bull', but that's strictly not officially true.

@@NinhLyUK Correct! The term 'double bull' should never be used when talking about 01 games.

Thanks, glad this video helps. Check out my channel for more like this :)

This was explained well but I think these rules are kinda stupid... I’d rather play and win by hitting the bullseye, or near it as many times as you can. Hitting a bullseye 3 times should be a good thing

@@becarefulwhatyoufish4764 I don't think it's stupid. If you want to hit bull almost all the time I suggest playing soft tip darts, however you'd still need to use maths to finish.

That's the idea!

im startinfg to learn lol

oh good, i'll come back here for other sports then!

You had debt removed off your credit?

HOLLY MOLLY!! THIS EXIST??!

@@garypitt3624 ABSOLUTELY BS!! lol that up there was always my reaction until late last year I got financially crippled, took the risk and witnessed the magic myself!

@@fredlanga7134 How the heck was that possible, cpns sort of process?

@@garypitt3624 lmao 🤣

It's a cool sport and mesmerising to watch. Thanks bro.

I think they only play 301 in GTA V, but yes, same rules apply.

Ha ha i agree with you ninh

I m here for the quick lesson too 😂

Same and now I can play dart in gta 5 right now.

Great to know I’m not the only one

Lololol

Same bro

As soon as I learned math was involved, I knew I was in trouble. 😩

😂😂😂😂😂😂

Cool, I'm glad this video helped you understand Darts. Thanks for stopping by.

Thanks bro, much appreciated.

Yeah, I've been back for a couple of weeks now. Am re-inventing myself as a self-help coach, but still do the occasional sports video to keep the fans happy! :)

Ninh Ly wow that's great! Nice to have u back:)

NICE! You noticed! I was wondering when someone would pull me up on it and you're the first one. Congrats! :)

Thanks.

Hi Alex. I've got a whole bunch of sports up my sleeve! Thanks for sticking around my channel - I'm sure you'll learn more about some weird and wonderful stuff on here!

Ninh Ly looking forward to it already

Yeah it's fun for sure.

I'll take that as a compliment I guess?!

Ummm ... I already did. Check out my other videos!

Cool- glad this video helps!

Have fun!

I've done it again for almost 100 sports!

Thanks man, glad you like this video. Check out my channel for more like this :)

Thanks man, much appreciated!

Thanks Lenin, much appreciated.

Thanks Raman, I appreciate that! Be sure to subscribe and check out my channel for similar videos to this! :)

Only minor rule differences - I doubt anybody would watch that. It's largely the same game. Thanks anyway.

You should have dividers. If you don't, maybe it's time to upgrade to a dartboard that does?!

Squash, yes it's on the list but it's way down there. Rounders, no. Not played professionally, no video footage to be found. Ta.

Yeah in hindsight, I probably should have explained bust. But the rest ... I didn't want to go into any of the regional variations for fear of confusing people. Thanks.

Hi Fabian. Thanks for the comment. But I have no idea what Pelota Vasca is?!

It's a basque sport

There's so many variations of that particular game ... American Hand Ball, Gaelic Hand Ball - besides i can't seem to find decent video footage enough to show relevant examples.

Hi Magenta. I did see that, but there's a problem. 1) I don't really know what it is. 2) It's not played professionally or televised and 3) I can't find enough decent footage to be able to use examples of. It's a no from me I'm afraid.

Ninh Ly interesting. It seems like it's a sport that would be a lot of fun but it's probably only done at a high school or college level. Sadly I just don't know enough about it to really understand what exactly is going on. Thank you for the quick reply and your honesty. Have a great day

Thank you ... and you too!

Thanks, I'm glad this video helps you out. But I have no idea what 'Baseball' is as it pertains to a Dartboard?!

@@NinhLyUK on some dartboards, there is a black and white side that has some sort of baseball game on it to play with darts. The original poster said they got a nice board, but I've only seen the game on the cheaper ones.

The World Grand Prix in Dublin is an example where the double start is used. The clip I showed shows Phil Taylor missing 9 consecutive doubles. Scored zero. Ouch.

Wow haha, I shall have to give it a watch later in the year. It usually takes me at least 20 darts at the end just to finish on a double.

I used to be really good at darts as a kid - don't think I could actually hit the damn thing anymore.

Basically yeah. If you score more than you need, it's known as 'bust' and your turn is over (because you've gone over). It's then your opponents turn. Going bust is a nightmare and can easily lose you games. Hope that helps?

Perfect, thank you so much. It clears my doubt and now it will be even more exciting to play the game! Your video has elevated my interest in darts! Cheers!

You're welcome Harshad! :)

@@harshadnemade I'm assuming your Indian and live in India. Even I live in India and am interested in darts. How do you recommend me to start darts

another thing, if you go down to exactly 1 point, that's also a bust, as there's no way to score 1 point on a double, and so is going down to exactly 0 NOT on a double

Ah yes, that's called 'bust' and your throw is invalid and it's the end of your turn. I forgot to put that in. Sorry!

Excellent questions! 1) If a player finishes a leg legally, then a new leg begins immediately and both players start from 501 again. 2) Correct. If a dart bounces out, it scores nothing. If you hit a dart out, the dart that sticks counts. The dart that falls out does not. 3) Officially there is no time limit. This results in players intentionally speeding up or slowing down their throw to put off their opponent. But you can be warned or disqualified for refusing to throw. Hope that helps?

Thank you, This makes sense now. I really want to learn more traditional pub & bar games. I know American 8 & 9 Ball Pool, Shut the Box (which I play at home), shuffleboard and I know some card games. I have played 301 and for the most part know enough to play recreationally, but along with Snooker, English Pool, Dominos, Devil Among the Tailors, American 10 ball and Straight Pool and others, Darts is one I would really enjoy learning more about. Since my previous comment I have viewed and enjoyed several of your EXPLAINED videos. I hope to find or see in the near future some of the other games I have listed. American 10 is one I really am having a hard time finding stuff on that is for a complete novice. I also plan to watch your self help videos. Do you have one on self promotion? I am a freelance Graphic Designer, but I really have no budget for advertising. The clients I have gotten from Craigslist love my work, but they are few and far between its so competitive. Anyway, Happy New Year, You have a new subscriber in me, great job and I lok forward to more of your quality videos!

Awesome, thanks Bruce! Pub games are pretty awesome. They're considered to be actual seriously professional sports here in the UK. As for self-help videos, I don't have one on self-promotion. but I know exactly what your predicament is being a self-employed graphic designer myself. The key is to be almost shameless in your promotion. Literally everywhere and everyone. Because remember - no-one hires a graphic designer that they don't know about. Good luck bro!

Thank you, It is hard. I gotta get over my fear of rejection and just "bomb" everything as the graffiti artists say. You're not the first to tell me that, but I think Im ready to try it.

Anytime bro, hope this video helps!

Yes

Six darts for a perfect 301 finish. (301) T20 T20 T20(121) T20 D11 D14

Yes there is. Which is why they alternate who goes first after every game.

Well spotted!

Way ahead of you. Already recorded the script, but it won't be ready for a couple of weeks.

They used to have a guy called Maurice Fitzsimmons who was iconic at doing that. I think the guy you're referring to is Russ Bray - he's good, but not a patch on Maurice. And the crowds ... alcohol helps. Lots of it!

@@NinhLyUK Didn't they get rid of thec alcohol after this sketch? kzfaq.info/get/bejne/qa6eddOhyMmtYKM.html

It's on the list, but I'm struggling to find decent HD footage to illustrate all my points.

Yes, the scorekeeper only adds the total after each dart. It's up to the player to figure out how many points he has left and what it'll take to finish in the least amount of darts.

Yeeshh.. Final score 5-0 Dave Chisnall. Looks like an easy winner..

Great win.

You would need 30 points to win and end on a double. So for a 30, you could aim for double 15 to win.

It has to be zero, yes. Normally they don't use a calculator. They might use it during practice sessions, but during a match usually they'd just memorise the combinations

Not much. With most of the sports I've made videos of, I already knew the rules. It's just writing a script to make it easy for absolutely anyone to understand that's the hard bit.

Yes. 1, then double 10 is a possibility. But most professionals would go 5, double 8. And yes, if you go over - this is known as bust and your throw is invalid.

No. It has struck the dartboard without sticking in. This is a valid throw and scores nothing.

No, you basically don't score for that throw, and have to start from there. For example, you require 16 (which is double 8). you hit double 16 (which is 32) instead. You've gone way over and your throw is over. On your next attempt, you have to go for 16 (double 8) again. And hopefully you won't go over this time.

It actually is. Once you get into the sport, it's actually kinda cool.

Believe it or not, the official maximum weight of darts is 50g. But these are extremely heavy given that most elite players play between 16-23g darts. As you could probably imagine, almost nobody breaks this rule. Hope that helps?

Never been asked for that one before. If I get enough demand, for sure. But you're the only one that's asked so far.

Yes, the score must be exactly 501.
