Checkouts for all 169 scores
From 2 to 170: how many darts it takes and which route to throw, worked out from the board itself rather than copied from a chart.
Each of 1 to 20 comes as a single, a double and a treble; the outer bull is 25 and the bullseye 50. The most one dart can score is 60, a treble 20.

How many darts it takes
Fewest darts first, then fewest doubles thrown before the last one, then a kinder finishing double (D20, D16), then the biggest opening dart. That rule alone reproduces the familiar routes: 60 is S20 D20, 100 is T20 D20.

How to read this
- A leg must end on a double. The bullseye (50) counts as one.
- S20 is a single 20, D16 a double 16, T20 a treble 20.
- Only twenty-one scores go out in a single dart: the twenty doubles and the bull.
- Seven scores cannot be finished in three darts — the ones you must not leave.
Frequently asked questions
Q. Why must a leg end on a double?
That is the rule in 501 and 301: the final dart has to land in a double — the bullseye counts as one.
Q. What is the biggest score you can check out?
170: treble 20, treble 20, bullseye. It uses all three darts.
Q. What is a bogey number?
A score that three darts cannot finish — 159, 162, 163, 165, 166, 168 and 169.
Q. Why do charts disagree about routes?
Because several routes finish the same score. Here the one that throws fewer doubles on the way and ends on a kinder double is chosen.
Q. What do S20, D16 and T20 mean?
A single 20, a double 16 and a treble 20 — which band of that number you aim at.
