Ways to finish
Every recommended three-dart route to take this score down to zero, finishing on a double.
- Recommended 1 D1
When you land on 3
3 is a classic two-dart finish. Throw 1 (1) to leave 2, then double 1 (2). You will often see 3 after a strong opening visit, so it pays to know the route by heart.
If you miss
Your finishing dart is D1 (2). Slip into the single 1 and you are left on 1, which has no checkout — you would have to score back over it. Miss outside the wire and you stay on 2.
