- Recommended D9
When you land on 18
18 is a one-dart finish: a single dart at double 9 (18) wins the leg. You reach 18 by scoring down to a clean double, so once you are here, settle and take your double.
If you miss
Your finishing dart is D9 (18). Slip inside to the single 9 and you are left on 9, an odd number you must split first — a single 1 leaves 8 (double 4). Miss outside the wire and you stay on 18.
