Official Rules & Match Regulations
In 501 Darts, players start with 501 points and take turns throwing 3 darts each to reduce their score exactly to zero, finishing on a double or the bullseye (double 50). In American Cricket, players race to open/close numbers 15 through 20 and the Bullseye, scoring points on open numbers until opponents close them.
Tournament Formats & Series Types
Matches are played Best of X Legs (e.g. Best of 5 legs for opening rounds, Best of 9 or 11 legs for finals). Blind Draw Doubles (Luck of the Draw / LOD) is the most common format for local weekly tavern competitions.
Seeding Conventions & Byes
Order of Merit seeds #1 through #16 are placed in standard PDC draw positions (Seed 1 top, Seed 2 bottom). For blind draw nights, names are drawn out of a hat or shuffled with 1-click.
Tiebreakers & Overtime Rules
If a match reaches a deciding leg (e.g. 2-2 in a Best of 5), the player who threw first in leg 1 throws first in the decider, or players throw for the bullseye (Cork) to determine who starts the final leg.
Ensure oche toe-lines are set precisely 7 feet 9.25 inches (2.37m) from the face of the board, with the bullseye mounted at exactly 5 feet 8 inches (1.73m) height.
