The scores are shown on the boards, work out what you have left to score then use the number pad to enter this number. You must finish with a double or bullseye.

Take it turns to throw three darts. The aim is to achieve the target score, finishing with a double or bullseye. For example if the target score is 37 you could achieve this by throwing a 20, followed by a 5 and then a double 6. You can use one, two or three darts. Try to achieve the target score as many times as possible in one minute.
