Dartboard Set-up

Setting up your dart space is very important. You will want to pick a room that is comfortable and affords you the space needed. Remember to allow for room for lighting, scoreboards, and an ample amount of room behind the throwing line. Avoid mounting your board too close to a wall as this may restrict both movement along the oche and hinder form.

The center of the bull’s-eye should be 5' 8" exactly as measured from the floor. The throwing line should be 7' 9 1/4" from the face of the dartboard to the front of the line. Remember that the dartboard has a thickness and to add that measurement from the wall to the front of the throwing line. The line itself should be 2' centered to the bull’s-eye in width. Try to keep an extra 2' on either side of the line for a walking lane.
