Is a 20 Darts Average Good?

Is a 20 average good?

A 20 three-dart average is an entry-level number — it places you at Beginner level (under 40). At this stage you are still learning the board and grouping your darts. The next natural target is a 30 average — chase it by hitting the treble 20 area consistently and cutting out dead visits under 26.

How a 20 average compares

These ranges are typical rather than official — averages move with the format, the night and the opponent. Here is where 20 sits:

What to improve next

To move from Beginner toward Hobby / Casual (40–54), focus on hitting the treble 20 area consistently and cutting out dead visits under 26. Two things move a 3-dart average more than anything else: scoring power (hitting the treble 20 more often) and cutting dead visits (turns under 26 that wreck the maths).

• Drill your scoring with structured practice routines.
• Stop leaking legs by raising your checkout percentage.
• Build a repeatable throw with sound throwing technique.
• See the full picture in our good 3-dart average guide.

How to know if you are improving

The only way to tell whether a 20 average is rising or falling is to measure every leg. Oche logs each dart and shows your 3-dart average, first-nine average and trend over time, so you can see real progress instead of guessing — explore exactly what the app tracks, and learn how the number is worked out in our 3-dart average guide.
