How does darts scoring work?

Darts is a precision game with straightforward scoring. The dartboard has 20 numbered sections arranged non-sequentially around the board. Scoring zones: Single area: The large sections score face value (1-20 points). Doubles ring: The thin outer ring scores double the section value (e.g., double 20 = 40). Trebles ring: The thin inner ring scores triple the section value (e.g., treble 20 = 60, the highest single-dart score). Bull's eye: The center red circle scores 50 points. Outer bull: The green ring around the bull scores 25 points. Standard game (501): Each player starts with 501 points and subtracts their score each turn. You must finish exactly on zero, and the winning dart must land on a double (or bullseye). If you score more than needed or leave yourself unable to finish on a double, it's a bust and your score reverts. Strategy: Aim for treble 20 (60 points) to reduce your score quickly. As you approach zero, switch to doubles to set up your finish. In browser darts games, the aiming mechanic varies — some use click timing, others use drag-and-release. Practice the specific aiming mechanic of your chosen game to develop consistency.
