Dart throwing is a precision sport where players throw small, pointed missiles called darts at a circular target known as a dartboard. The objective is to score points by hitting specific areas on the board, which is divided into numbered sections. The game can be played individually or in teams, with various formats like 501 and cricket being popular. Players typically stand behind a designated line, known as the oche, when throwing their darts. Scoring is based on where the dart lands, with the outer sections worth fewer points and the bullseye being the highest. Accuracy and technique are essential for success in this competitive activity.
