Question

My dartboard looks exactly like the photos, except it has a second game on the back. I assume I'm not supposed to screw a bracket on there. Will it work to just hang it from the top hook?

Community Answer

Yes, it'll do just fine! Just be sure the dartboard is stable so it won't fall off, and so the dart plays right.

Question

What is the diagonal measurement from the bullseye to the oche?

Ye Gao

Community Answer

The diagonal measurement from the bullseye to the oche in darts is typically 9 feet 7.5 inches (or 2.93 meters). This measurement is important for setting up a standard dartboard according to official rules. Ensure your dartboard is hung at a height of 5 feet 8 inches (1.73 meters) from the floor to the bullseye center. Double-check these measurements for an optimal playing experience.

Question

Would a carpet work as a backing for a dartboard?

Kirbycollectivizegee

Community Answer

Carpet wrapped around plywood or cork should work fine, as it will catch darts if they don't stick into the wood.
