The 501 standard rule is one of the most fundamental scoring principles in dart-throwing. Of course, there are like tons of different rules out there, but just stick to the basic first, or else you might have your head blown for real

Basic Rules

• Each player will start with 501 points (you can see the reason for the name).
• Each player get to make three throws for each turn.
• The first team get the total score reduced to zero is the winner.

Next up, we will show you how this scoring system works. The calculation of points is as follows, and frankly speaking, you will not need that note. They are quite simple to memorize in one single turn:

• Bullseye equals fifty points.
• Bull's margin equals twenty-five points.
• Double ring: Your score will be doubled.
• Triple ring: Your score will be tripled.
• The outer ring triples means that you get 0 points.

Almost finished! You have got past the common rules and how to count the point, yes? So now let's get to know a few other things that matter when it comes to the 501 rules.

• You can only throw to end the game when the remaining score after the 2nd-second hand is less than 170.
• Special scores such as 159, 162, 163, 165, 166, 168, 169 cannot be used to enter the checkout.
• If the last throw has a lower total score than the last remaining number, then you will have to make the next throw.
