A game of darts began as a training program for English archers in the Middle Ages, and the game was popular with Henry VIII. In its modern form in Britain, the game is ordinary played in the public house, or pub, or in a club, rather than in the home.
Of an estimated 5 million players in the British Isles, about 25,000 are represented by the British Darts Organization, which was founded in 1973. As an indication of how popular the game has become, there is also the World Darts Federation (WDF), which represents more the 500,000 darts players in 50 countries. The major championships are the Winmau World Masters, the WDF World Cup, the Embassy World Professional Darts Championship, and the News of the World Championships.
In a game, a player throws a wooden, feathered dart about six inches long at a target board. The target board is usually made of sisal but is sometimes made of cork or elmwood. The board is divided into 20 sectors valued at points from 1 to 20. Players throw the darts freestyle but must stand at least 7 feet 9.25 inches from the board. The center of the board is 5 feet 8 inches above the floor. These and other rules may vary slightly in countries outside the British Isles.
In the organized game, each player has three weighted and feathered darts. Before the game, a number is chosen, usually 301 or 501. All players begin with this score. They subtract their scores from that number until the winner reaches zero. What makes the scoring complicated is the rule that the winner must reach exactly zero on his last throw. However, in informal pub games, players usually total up their scores from the start, and the player who first reaches a predetermined number is the winner.
