Three-dart average = (total score thrown ÷ darts thrown) × 3. It expresses performance as a score per three-dart visit (a ‘turn’). Professional players average 90–110 over a match; the world’s elite can average 100–120+ in major events. A 180 (T20, T20, T20 = the maximum three-dart score) raises the average; missed doubles and low scoring pull it down. Alongside checkout percentage, the three-dart average is the most important darts statistic.
