Anatomy of a Dartboard

The standard english dartboard consists of twenty numbered segments or pies ranging in value from 1 to 20. In the center of the board is the bullseye.

The outside number ring dictates the value of each segment or pie. The thin outer ring is the double ring, darts landing in these areas are worth 2 times the value of that number. The thin inner ring located halfway between the double ring and the bullseye is the triple ring, darts landing in these areas are worth 3 times the value of that number.

The bullseye is divided into two rings and outer and an inner. The outer ring is worth 25 points and the inner ring is worth 50 points.

Interestingly enough the highest value on the dartboard is not the center bullseye but the triple 20. A dart landing in the triple ring of the 20 segment counts for 60 points and is the highest single dart value on the dartboard.
