❓ Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

What is a "Double Out" in Darts?
A Double Out means the last dart thrown to win the game must land in one of the narrow outer ring segments (the 'double ring') or the center double bullseye (Double 25). If this option is checked, the calculator will only suggest winning combinations that end on a double.
What's the maximum score for a single dart?
The maximum score is 60, achieved by hitting the treble 20 (3 x 20). If you hit the triple bullseye (T25 or 'inner bull'), the score is 50. The maximum score for one turn (three darts) is 180 (three treble 20s).
How does the calculator handle scores below zero (Bust)?
If the calculated remaining score is 1 or less, or if the remaining score is 0 but was not achieved with a double (when Double Out is active), the throw is considered a "Bust." In this case, your score reverts to the starting score for that turn, and the calculator will display a clear "BUST" message.
Why did the calculator suggest T20-T19-D16 for 137?
The calculator uses standard optimal checkout strategies prioritizing the highest scoring segments (T20, T19, T18, etc.) to reduce the score quickly and then setting up a manageable double for the third dart. T20 (60) + T19 (57) = 117. $137 - 117 = 20$. The third dart is Double 10. (D10 = 20).
Can I use this calculator for Cricket or other Darts games?
No, this calculator is specifically designed for the 'X01' games (301, 501, 701) that rely on reducing a score down to zero. Games like Cricket use entirely different scoring and objective mechanics.
