Set Up/Mounting Instructions:
Choose a location to hang the dartboard where there is about 10 feet (3.05m) of open space
in front of the board. The “toe-line” should be 7ft 9 1/4in (2.41m) from the face of the dartboard.
Locate a wall stud and place a mark 76.75in (195cm) from the oor. Insert a screw in the
center of the wall stud at this height and hand the dartboard on this screw
If not mounting into studs, be sure to use drywall anchors or other securing hardware
appropriate to the wall you are using.
If you want to mount the dartboard even more securely to the wall, you can fasten four
screws (not included) through the holes located in the catch ring area (the area outside the
scoring segments). This will secure the board to the wall.
Center of bullseye should be 5ft 8in (1.8m) from the ground.
Plug the A/C adapter into the wall outlet and into the jack at the bottom right of the
dartboard and you’re ready to play. INPUT- AC 120 VOLTS / 60 HZ OUTPUT: DC 9 VOLTS

Cricket Scoring Display:
This dartboard utilizes a dedicated cricket 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 bulls eye). 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. (Picture for reference only!)

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.

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.
Winning - The side closing all the numbers rst and accumulating the highest point total is the
winner. If a player “closes”all numbers rst but is behind in points, he/she must continue to
score on the“open” numbers. If the player does not make up the point decit 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.

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

ADVANCED CRICKET:
This dicult version of cricket was developed for the advanced player. Players must close
out the segments (20,19,18,17,16,15 and bullseye) by using only triples and doubles! In

player to close out the numbers with the most points is the winner.
This game tests the players ability to “group together” darts within a segment during each
round of play. The computer will randomly select the segment the players must hit for each
round and display the ashing number in the display.
Scoring is as follows: Single segment = 1 Point
Double segment = 2 Points
Triple segment = 3 Points
Single Bullseye = 4 Points
When the computer selects double Bullseye, the outer bull scores 2 points and the inner bull
scores 4 points. The player with the most points at the end of the selected rounds is the winner.
Adjustable Diculty Settings for Shooter include 6 rounds, 7 rounds, ... 12 rounds.
