Darts Score Formula
TS = D1 + D2 + D3
What is a Darts Score?
A darts score is the number of points earned from dart throws. On a standard dartboard, each numbered section is worth its face value, the thin outer ring is a double, and the thin inner ring is a triple. The center “bull” is split into the outer bull (25) and the inner bull/bullseye (50).
In many popular games (such as 501 or 301), players start from a predetermined total and subtract the points scored each turn (typically three darts) to reach exactly zero. Under standard double-out rules, the final dart must land in a double; the inner bull (50) counts as a double (double 25), while the outer bull (25) does not.
How to Calculate Darts Score?
The following steps outline how to calculate a darts score for a standard three-dart turn.
- Determine the points scored with Dart 1, Dart 2, and Dart 3.
- Use the formula from above: TS = D1 + D2 + D3.
- Add the three dart scores to get the turn total.
- After inserting the variables and calculating the result, check your answer with the calculator above.
Example Problem :
Use the following variables as an example problem to test your knowledge.
Dart 1: 20 points
Dart 2: triple 20 (which equals 60)
Dart 3: inner bullseye (50)
Calculate the turn total using the formula TS = D1 + D2 + D3.
Turn Total = 20 + 60 + 50
Turn Total = 130
