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.

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.
