Buying the DartBoard There are all different types
of dartboards. I suggest buying a dartboard with the metal embedded into
the board. This will decrease the number of "bounce-outs" (your dart hits
the metal, bounces off and falls). An example of this type of board is
the The DMI 'The Bandit' Dartboard. Its more expensive than your typical
dartboard. But in the long run, worth it.
Caring for your Dartboard
You must remember to rotate
your dartboard. This will only work if your dartboard has the removable
metal ring with the numbers on it. If the numbers are painted on the board,
you will not be able to rotate it. Rotating the board will make it last
longer. DO NOT spray any types of liquids on a bristle board. It will
ruin your board. I have seen some boards that were sprayed, and it isn't
a pretty picture. The surface of the board begins to 'bubble' and fall
apart.
Scoring There are two "rings" on
your board. The outside ring will be worth double your points. The inside
ring is worth triple the points
Between those two rings,
is worth the value of the box. For example.....if you look at the picture
below, lets use number 20, you will see the outside ring's value is 40,
the inside ring's value is 60. If your dart goes anywhere between the
outside ring and inside ring and the inside ring to the bullseye, you
will get 20 points.
