Five free darts tools covering checkout calculation, averages, score tracking, league tables, and finishing percentages. Covers standard 501 and 301 formats.
Darts basics
Standard darts is played from 501 points (or 301 in shorter formats). Players alternate turns of 3 darts, subtracting the score from their total. The game must be finished with a double (double ring or bullseye) — this is called "double out." The player who reaches exactly zero first wins the leg. Matches are played as a set number of legs, or as first to a certain number of sets (each set containing a number of legs).
The standard throwing distance (oche) is 7 feet 9.25 inches (2.37m) for steel-tip darts. The bullseye is 1.73m (5 feet 8 inches) from the floor.

What is a checkout in darts?
A checkout is finishing a leg by reaching exactly zero with the final dart landing in a double or the bullseye. The most famous checkout is 170 (the maximum possible: treble 20, treble 20, bullseye). The checkout calculator shows the optimal finish route for any remaining score. Knowing common checkouts (170, 167, 164, 161, 160 and below) is a key skill for competitive darts players.
What is a dart average?
The three-dart average is the most common performance metric in darts: total score achieved ÷ number of darts thrown × 3. A professional average of 100+ (i.e. scoring 100 points per three darts on average) is considered a strong standard. World-class players consistently average 100–110+; the all-time record for a TV match is over 123. Recreational players averaging 50–70 are improving well; 80+ is a strong club standard.
What is a perfect leg in darts?
A perfect leg (also called a nine-darter) is finishing 501 in exactly 9 darts — the minimum possible. The standard route: treble 20 six times (480 total) then treble 17, treble 18, double 12 for the remaining 21. Many other combinations are possible. Nine-darters are the pinnacle of individual darts performance — they occur occasionally in professional play but are extremely rare. Phil Taylor has thrown the most in televised history.
