Darts Scoreboard

A free online darts scoreboard. Pick 301 or 501, play with one or two players and enter your score after each turn — the board subtracts automatically, spots a bust and tracks who wins. No more mental arithmetic mid-game.

How it works

In 301 and 501 each player starts on that number of points and counts down to exactly zero. After each turn (three darts) you subtract the score thrown. If you drop below zero or land on exactly 1, it is a "bust": your score for that turn is voided and you stay on your previous total. The first to finish on exactly zero wins.

Step by step

  1. 1Choose the game (301 or 501) and the number of players.
  2. 2After each turn, enter the total score of the three darts.
  3. 3The board counts down and marks the winner at exactly zero.

When to use it

  • Keeping score for a game of darts at home or in the pub without a chalkboard.
  • Quickly checking which finish you still need.
  • Letting kids practise subtraction during the game.

Frequently asked questions

How does darts scoring work (301/501)?

You start on 301 or 501 and count down to zero each turn. The score of three darts is subtracted from your total; whoever reaches exactly zero wins.

What is a "bust"?

If a turn would take you below zero or leave you on exactly 1 (which you cannot finish on), that score is voided and you stay on your previous total. That is a bust.

Can I practise with a single player?

Yes. Set the number of players to 1 to practise on your own and train your finishing.
