Why aim for double 20
double 20 (40) sits at the top of the board and is the classic leave from a big score. It is comfortable to throw at, but the bust-down is less forgiving than 32: a slipped dart leaves 20, then double 10, then the odd 5 — so many players prefer to set up double 16 when they have the choice.
If you miss D20
Slip inside the wire 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.
Tips for hitting D20
- Aim just below the wire so a dart that drops still lands in the double, not above it in the single.
- Throw at the same pace as your scoring darts — don't "guide" the finish.
- Know your miss: a slipped D20 leaves 20, so you already know your next dart before you throw.
