Caring for your Electronic Dartboard
1. Never use metal tipped darts on this dartboard. Metal tipped darts will seriously
damage the circuitry and electronic operation of this dartboard.
2. Do not use excessive force when throwing darts. Throwing darts too hard will
cause frequent tip breakage and cause excess wear on the board.
3. Turn darts clockwise as you pull them from the board. This makes it easier to
remove darts and extends the life of the tips.
4. Remove the batteries when not in use. This will prolong the life of your batteries.
5. Do not spill liquids on the dartboard. Do not use spray cleaners, or cleaners that
contain ammonia or other harsh chemicals as they may cause damage.

• Double In - A double must be hit before points are subtracted from the total. In other
words, a player’s scoring does not begin until a double is hit.
• Double Out - A double must be hit to end the game. This means that an even number is
necessary to finish the game.
• Double In and Double Out - A double is required to start and end scoring of the game by
each player.
Game Rules
301
This popular tournament and pub game is played by subtracting each dart from the starting number
(301) until the player reaches exactly 0 (zero). If a player goes past zero it is considered a “Bust” and
the score returns to where it was at the start of that round. For example, if a player needs a 32 to
finish the game and he/she hits a 20, 8, and 10 (totals 38), the score goes back to 32 for the next
round.In playing the game, the double in / double out option can be chosen (double out is
the most widely used option).
CRICKET
Cricket is a strategic game for accomplished players and beginners alike. Players throw for numbers
best suited for them and can force opponents to throw for numbers not as suitable for them. The
object of Cricket is to “close” all of the appropriate numbers before one’s opponent while racking up
the highest number of points.

Only the numbers 15 through 20 and the inner/outer bullseye are used. Each
player must hit a number 3 times to “open” that segment for scoring (Refer to Tournament Cricket
Scoring section for explanation on how players’ marks are registered). A player is then awarded the
number of points of the “open” segment each time he/she throws a dart that lands in that segment,
provided their opponent has not closed that segment. Hitting the double ring counts as two hits,
and the triple ring counts as 3 hits.
Numbers can be opened or closed in any order. A number is “closed” when the other player(s) hit
the open segment 3 times. Once a number has been “closed”, any player for the remainder of the
game can no longer score on it.

NO-SCORE CRICKET
Same rules as standard Cricket except there is no point scoring. The object of this version is to be
the first to simply “close” all the appropriate numbers (15 through 20 and the bullseye).
SCRAM (For 2 players only)
This game is a variation of Cricket. The game consists of two rounds. The players have a different
objective in each round. In round 1, player 1 tries to “close” (score 3 hits in each segment - 15 to 20
and bullseye). During this time, player 2 attempts to rack up as many points in the segments that
the other player has not yet closed. Once player 1 has closed all segments, round 1 is complete. In
round 2, each player’s roles are reversed. Now, player 2 tries to close all the segments while player
1 goes for points.
The game is over when round 2 is complete (player 2 closes all segments). The player with the
highest point total is the winner.
CUT-THROAT CRICKET
Same basic rules as standard Cricket except once scoring begins, points are added to your
opponent(s) total. The object of this game is to end up with the fewest points. This variation of
Cricket offers a different psychology to the players. Rather than adding to your own score and
helping your own cause as in standard Cricket, Cut-Throat offers the benefit of racking up points for
your opponent(s), digging him in a deeper hole. Competitive players will love this variation!
COUNT-UP 300
The object of this game is to be the first player to reach the specified point total (300). Point total
is specified when the game is selected. Each player attempts to score as many points as possible
per round. Doubles and triples count 2 or 3 times the numerical value of each segment. For
example a dart that lands in the triple 20 segment is scored as 60 points. The cumulative scores
for each player will be displayed in the LCD display as the game progresses. Additional variations of
this game are detailed below. The rules are the same except the point total varies as indicated in
the number.
COUNT-UP 400 COUNT-UP 600 COUNT-UP 800 COUNT-UP 999
COUNT-UP 500 COUNT-UP 700 COUNT-UP 900
Winning - The side closing all the numbers first and accumulating the highest point total is the
winner. If a player “closes” all numbers first but is behind in points, he/she must continue to score
on the “open” numbers. If the player does not make up the point deficit before the opposing
player(s) “closes” all the numbers, the opposing side wins. Play continues until all segments are
closed - the winner is the player with the highest score.
Cricket Scoring Display
This dartboard utilizes a dedicated scoreboard within the
scoring display that keeps track of each player’s segment status
when playing Cricket. When Cricket is selected, individual
characters will be utilized to register marks. There are 3
separate lights within each number (15 through 20 and bullseye).
During play, one of the status lights will turn on (black will
appear) as a segment is hit. If a double or triple of an active
number is hit, 2 or 3 lights will turn on respectively.

ROUND-THE-CLOCK – r1 singles
Each player attempts to score in each number from 1 through 20 and bullseye in order. Each player
throws 3 darts per turn. If a correct number is hit, he/she tries for the next number in sequence.
The first player to reach 20 is the winner.
The display will indicate which segment you are shooting for. A player must continue shooting for a
segment until it is hit. The display will then indicate the next segment you should shoot for.
High Score - 3 Rounds
The rules for this competitive game are simple - Rack up the most points in three rounds (nine darts)
to win. Doubles and triples count as 2x and 3x that segment’s score respectively. Additional
variations of this game are detailed below. The rules are the same except the number of rounds
varies as indicated in the number.
High Score - 4 Rounds High Score - 8 Rounds High Score - 11 Rounds
High Score - 5 Rounds High Score - 9 Rounds High Score - 12 Rounds
High Score - 6 Rounds High Score - 10 Rounds High Score - 13 Rounds
High Score - 7 Rounds
There are many difficulty settings available for this game. Each game has the same rules, the
differences are detailed as follows:
ROUND-THE-CLOCK 5 - Game starts at segment number 5
ROUND-THE-CLOCK 10 - Game starts at segment number 10
ROUND-THE-CLOCK 15 - Game starts at segment number 15
Since this game does not utilize point scoring, the double and triple rings count as single numbers.
We have added some additional levels of difficulty to this game for those looking for a real challenge!:
ROUND-THE-CLOCK Double - Player must score a Double in each segment from 1 through 20 in order.
ROUND-THE-CLOCK Double 5 - Game starts at double segment 5
ROUND-THE-CLOCK Double 10 - Game starts at double segment 10
ROUND-THE-CLOCK Double 15 - Game starts at double segment 15
ROUND-THE-CLOCK Triple - Player must score a Triple in each segment from 1 through 20 in order.
ROUND-THE-CLOCK Triple 5 - Game starts at triple segment 5
ROUND-THE-CLOCK Triple 10 - Game starts at triple segment 10
ROUND-THE-CLOCK Triple 15 - Game starts at triple segment 15
KILLER
This game will really show who your friends are. The game can be played with as few as two players,
but the excitement and challenge builds with even more players. To start, each player must select his
number by throwing a dart at the target area. The LCD display will indicate “SEL” at this point. The
number each player gets is his assigned number throughout the game. No two players can have the
same number. Once each player has a number, the action starts.
Your first objective is to establish yourself as a “Killer” by hitting the double segment of your number.
Once your double is hit, you are a “Killer” for the rest of the game. Now, your objective is to “kill” your
opponents by hitting their segment number until all their “lives” are lost. The last player to remain
with lives is declared the winner. It is not uncommon for players to “team up” and go after the better
player to knock him out of the game.

DOUBLE DOWN
Each player starts the game with 40 points. The object is to score as many hits in the active
segment of the current round. The first round, the player must throw for the 15 segment. If
no 15’s are hit, his score is cut in half. If some 15’s are hit, each 15 (doubles and triples count)
is added to the starting total. The next round players throw for the 16 segment and hits are
added to the new cumulative point total. Again, if no hits are registered, the point total is
cut in half. Each player throws for the numbers as indicated in the chart below in order (the
LCD screen will indicate the active segment in which to throw). The player who completes the
game with the most points is the winner.
ALL FIVES - 51
The entire board is in-play for this game (all segments are active). With each round (of 3 darts) each
player has to score a total which is divisible by 5. Every “five” counts as one point. For example 10, 10,
5 = 25. Since 25 is divisible by 5 fives, this player scores 5 points (5 x 5 = 25).
If a player throws 3 darts that are not divisible by 5, no points are given. Also, the last dart of each
round must land in a segment. If a player throws the third dart and it lands in the catch ring area (or
misses the board completely), he earns no points even if the first two
Darts are divisible by 5. This prevents a player from “tanking” the third throw if his first two are good.
The first player to total fifty-one (51) “fives” is the winner. The LCD screen will keep track of the point
totals. Additional variations of this game are detailed below. The rules are the same except the total
needed to win varies as indicated in the number following the game.
DOUBLE DOWN 41
This game follows similar rules as standard Double Down as described above with two
exceptions. First, instead of going from 15 through 20 and bullseye, the sequence is reversed
which will be indicated on the LCD display. Second, an additional round is included toward
the end in which players must attempt to score three hits that add up to 41 points (20, 20, 1;
19, 19, 3; D10, D10, 1: etc.). This “41” round adds an extra level of difficulty to the game.
Remember, a player’s score is cut in half if not successful, so the “41” round presents quite a
challenge!
