When you land on 40
40 is a one-dart finish: a single dart at double 20 (40) wins the leg. You reach 40 by scoring down to a clean double, so once you are here, settle and take your double.
If you miss
Your finishing dart is D20 (40). Slip inside to the single 20 and you are left on 20 — finish on double 10. Miss outside the wire and you stay on 40 for your next dart, so you never lose the double.
