162 Checkout
162 is one of the seven bogey numbers: there is no three-dart double-out finish for 162. Instead of trying to finish, you score down and leave a comfortable double for your next visit.
Why 162 has no three-dart finish
With three darts the most you can score is 180 (T20, T20, T20), and the highest checkout is 170 (T20, T20, bull). But to finish, your last dart must also land in a double. For 162, no combination of three darts can both reach 162 and end on a double — the leftover never lines up with a makeable double. That is what makes 162 a bogey number.
What to do on 162
Do not try to finish. Score heavily and leave a comfortable double for your next visit. From 162, throw T20 T20 10 to leave 32 — double 16 — one of the friendliest finishes in the game.
