Welcome back!! Great to hear, thank you! ❤

Starting at target #20 is a strategy for those that can hit the intended target. For the basic beginners that don't want to add any math to it: you can eliminate the point system and just play cricket to close out the numbers 20 thru 15. Another basic beginner strategy is to aim for the bullseye and collect any close outs in your attempts to the bullseye. It also helps your aim and focus on a singular point. Always a good idea to use good darts and stick to what works for you. Some cheap darts are so bad that they mess up your ability to be consistent with each throw. With all that said... there is no need to buy expensive products just to play a game of darts for fun.

Perfect breakdown of all aspects. Clear, concise and I also love the animation 😊

Luckily we've got two.😅 Am sharing your channel to my young son as he's also taken an interest in the sport we love. Your videos makes it possible for the younger generation to have an interest in the sport because you are not only a qualified but a good teacher as well.

Nice. We play a simple version with no points. just first person to max out 3 for each number.

Great explenation. In Belgrade, Serbia, we somehow improved this game, adding double, triple and cake on the list. Cake is 3 darts on the same segment. Sometimes game can last for a while. Which is not good for the other players who are waiting, but it is even more chalanging. Everything else is is the same, but need to have all places covered.

Probably the very best guide out there to understand cricket. But just to clarify, say Phil Taylor plays cricket and scores T20, T19, T18 on his first 3 throws... does that lock out the opponent from scoring on those numbers forcing them to throw at 17 or 16? And if they do that, Phil would simply have a run at 20s for a long as he wants until his opponent tries to close it out?

@GarageDarts

4 ай бұрын

Yes, the opponent would have to get as many 17s as possible and hope Phil has a miss here or there that he can capitalize on and get back into the game. Whether its cricket or 01, there is not much you can do if your opponent throws perfect darts!! Right? Thanks for the comment, and thank you for the thumbs up! 😁

Well done.

Jens dart has the red flight and it is in the center - the red bull. Wills dart was in the green or outer bull, so jen goes first. A red bull beats a green bull. If they were both outside the bull, then the dart closest to the bull would go first

How long does a game last for usually

@GarageDarts

Жыл бұрын

Hi Erik! Game duration depends on the skill level of the 2 players. I just finished a tournament where most legs lasted 3 to 5 minutes. That is when you are throwing around 24-dart legs (about 8 turns at the board. Beginners could take much longer, due to missing their out shots or low scores. It can also take longer if a player is a slower thrower.

interesting never heard of this game of darts before

I don't think I saw this covered, if it was sorry. What if someone closes out all their numbers first, but are behind in points? Would they have to score on any open numbers on the opponents board, until they had the point lead (or their opponent closed their remaining numbers)? Thanks!

@GarageDarts

Yes, you are correct. If you had all numbers closed, but not the points lead, you would have to point on a number your opponent did not yet have closed, to gain the points lead, in order to win.

When playing a traditional game with points. If I'm losing on points and I cleared all the numbers and bulls and my opponent cleared all his numbers, but not his bulls is the game over and I lost or can I keep scoring bulls until my opponent clears his bulls? I'm a stupid newby so be nice please

I may have missed it. But let’s say you have X on 20. Then your next throw is a double 20. Is that a circle + 20 or just a circle?

@GarageDarts

4 ай бұрын

This depends on what your opponent has. If your opponent hasn’t closed the 20's yet, then the double would count as 2 20's - one for the circle and 20 points for the second. However, if your opponent has 3 20's already, then only one would count, to close the number. Now, any dart that hits a 20 for the remainder of this game does not count for either player. I think I will do another cricket video, to explain this scenerio better, since many people have similar confusion! Thanks for the question!

You would have to gain points on numbers your opponent hasnt closed yet. If you get more points than your opponent (before they close all the numbers) then you win. The winner has to have the point lead, as well as all numbers closed. Hope that clears up any confusion. Thanks for your question!

What strategy would you use if your opponent came right out of the gate hitting a white horse?

@GarageDarts

Жыл бұрын

Although it has never happened to me (that is quite an opening shot), I would try to hit as many 17's as I could, for a points lead and then try to pick off his numbers, one by one. The hope is, although your opponent came out hot, he will come back to earth and shoot a few avg rounds; which gives you the chance to come back! ...and if he doesn't cool down, there is nothing to do but shake his hand on an amazing game!!

Can one close all triple points and still lose on points?

@GarageDarts

3 ай бұрын

Do you mean - if you close each number, can you lose on points? Yes. So if you had all numbers closed, but were down on points, then your opponent would just need to close everything to win. However, you could score points on numbers they don't have closed, to get the points you need to have the higher total. I hope this makes sense!!

Instead of going for 20 right away, can I just start off with the bullseye?

@GarageDarts

Жыл бұрын

You can start with any number you would like, but the conventional way to go is 20's first. Much easier to get 3 20's with 3 darts than it is to get 3 bulls with 3 darts! So you have a better chance of having a number you can point on right away, providing your opponent does not close them after you. Thanks for the question! I think I second cricket video will be in order! 😉

Damn I've heard about it but i only know British 501 games. Interesting though

Pretty simple, get the point lead and make your opponent chase it > Each time they close a number trying to get the point lead for themself close it. Just keep that tactic up all the way to the bull! If you should lose it get it back as fast as you can. At the end of the game add points if possible so you only need 3 and your opponent needs 4-5- or 6. Closing when behind in points is not how top players play. Novices and players who are not very good will try to close when behind in points thinking that will keep the game close.

Not sure if you are referring to a specific instance, but if you hit a double, it would count as 2 marks, or if you already have 3 marks on that number, it would count as points (as long as your opponent doesn't have 3 marks on that same segment). For points, let's say you hit a double 20, it would be worth 40 points, a triple would be worth 60 points . Does that answer your question?
