THE ORIGINATOR OF ELECTRONIC DARTS: ARACHNID, INC.

Arachnid, Inc. invented the state-of the-dart technology that brought the popular pub game into the home, in the process earning a stellar reputation for quality and Innovation, recognized today all over the world. Your electronic soft-tip dart game is a precision engineered product manufactured with the highest quality materials, and Is designed to provide years of action-packed fun to players of all skill levels and ages.

DART HISTORY

The first “dart” was most likely thrown by prehistoric man some 35,000 years ago. A sharpened antler attached to a wooden shaft allowed hunters to kill an animal from a distance, even as it ran. In one form or another, from spears, to arrows, to the present dart we use for games of skill, the art of throwing a pointed shaft with accuracy has been a part of almost every culture. Later in history, Henry VIII of England and Charles VI of France were both avid enthusiasts of dart throwing games derived from warfare and archery contests. The modem game evolved during the nineteenth century in English pubs. Often a barrel head was used as the target, with the centrally located cork becoming the bull’s-eye. The term “cork” is still occasionally used today when referring to the bull’s-eye. At one time darts were considered a game cl chance, and were actually illegal in England until 1908, when a Leeds innkeeper went to court to challenge the law. Fortunately he was able to demonstrate to the court’s satisfaction that darts were indeed a game cl skill. Between the two World Wars playing darts for fun and relaxation became more and more popular in England. American servicemen stationed there In World War II often brought the game home with them where it eventually became popular in the United States as well

GAME INSTRUCTIONS

G01 301 (Game option: L01, L02, L03, L04, LOS, LO &/ Double Bull)

Each player begins with 301 points, and must reach exactly zero to win. The score of each dart thrown is subtracted from the beginning score of each round. Exceeding zero causes the player to “Bust”, and the score returns to what it was before that round. There are six options for the game, namely

• Single In
  • The player can hit any segment on their first dart to start.
• Single Out
  • The player can hit any segment on their last dart to finish the game.
• Double In
  • The player must hit a double or double bullseye on their first dart to start.
• Double Out
  • The player must hit a double or double bullseye on their last dart to finish the game. (Reaching a score of 1 will “Bust” since it is not possible to double out with 1 point)
• Expert In
  • The player must hit a double, a triple or double bullseye on their first dart to start
• Expert Out
  • The player must hit a double, a triple or double bullseye on their last dart to finish the game. (Reaching a score of 1 will “Bust” since it is not possible to double or triple out with 1 point)

To make games more enjoyable, the game will also display the PPD (points per dart) of each player after the ranking on player score displays after the game.

• G02 501 (Game option: L01, L02, L03, L04, LOS, LO&, Double Bull)

  • This game is played the same as 301, except each player starts with 501.

• G03 601 (Game option: L01, L02, L03, L04, LOS, LO&, Double Bull)

  • This game is played the same as 301, except each player starts with 601.

• G04 701 (Game option: L01, L02, L03, L04, LOS, LO&. Double Bull)

  • This game Is played the same as 301, except each player starts with 701.

• G06 901 (Game option: L01, L02, L03, LQ4, LOS, LO&, Double Bull)

  • This game is played the same as 301, except each player starts with 901.

• G07 301 LEAGUE (Game option: L01, L02, L03, L04, LOS, LO&, Double Bull)

  • This game is played the same as 301, except each player has a partner, as in league play (2 teams with 2 players on each team). Each team uses two display windows, alternating turns.
    Team 1 = player 1 and player 3; Team 2 = player 2 and player 4. Any team player can win the game. However, there is an added “freeze rule” for team play. Freeze rule: a player can “go out” only if his partner has a score that is equal to or lower than both opponent’s combined scores. If the partner’s score is higher than the combined scores of their opponents, the player is “frozen” and cannot win the game at that time. The strategy then is for that player to get as low as possible in points and hope the partner has a chance to win the game. If someone is frozen and gets to zero, the game will automatically “bust” that player, not allowing that player to break the freeze rule.

• GOS 501 LEAGUE (Game option: L01, L02, L03, L04, LOS, LOS, Double Bull)

  • This game is played the same as 301 League, except each player starts with 901.

• G13 GOTCHA! (Game option: L01, L02}

  • Each player begin with 0 point and must reach 301 exactly to win. Players can “Bomb” other players which reduce their score to zero. This happen when the shooting player equals another player’s score with any dart thrown. Therefore it is possible to bomb 3 players in 1 turn.

• Example:

  • Player 1 ‘s score is 20
  • Player 2’s score is 50
  • Player 3’s score is 30
  • Player 4’s score is up. The first dart thrown hits the 20 – Player 1 gets bombed and goes to zero. The second dart hits the 10 (score now 30) – Player 3 gets bombed and goes to zero. The third dart hits a 20 (total score is 50) – Player 2 gets bombed and goes to zero.
  • If a player exceeds 301 points that player will bust and the following occurs:

• In single player game, no “Bombs” will go off.

  • L01 : The player’s score reverts to what it was before and darts were thrown in that round
  • L02 : That score is also reduced by the number of points that were of 301

In the first round all players must throw for the segment (hole 1). In round 2, all the players throw for the 2 segment (hole 2), and so on, through round 9 (hole 9). Segment values are as follows:
  • Double= 2 points (Eagle)
  • Triple= 3 points (Birdie)
  • Pie single = 4 points (Par)
  • Fat single= 4 points (Par)

• G32 SHOVE A PENNY

  • Same as the cricket only 15 through 20 and the bull’s-eye are used. All players have to hit the numbers in order with the objective to score 3 points in each segment before moving to another. Single are 1 point, Double are 2 points and Triple are 3 points. However, if player scores more than 3 points in any one number, the excess points will be given to the next player. The first player to score 3 points in all numbers is the winner.

• G33 FOOTBALL

  • Players have to first select their playing field by throwing a dart at the dartboard. At this stage, the text screen will display “CHOOSE YOUR NUMBER”. Take turn and throw a dart to select. Once a playing field is selected, you have to start points from the double segment, carry through the bull’s-eye and then to the opposite segments in strict sequence, the status of the player will be indicated at the cricket display. For example, if a player selects segment 11, he should hit D-11, outer S-11, T-11, inner S-11, outer bull’s-eye, inner bull’s-eye, inner S-6, T-6, outer S-6, and finally the D-6. The first player who finished is playing field is the winner.

Each player has to select his ‘alley’ by throwing the first dart at a segment when the text screen displays “SELECT ALLEY”. Then use the 2nd and the 3″‘ dart to score points (i.e. pins) on the selected alley. Points (pins) are calculated as follow:
  • Player cannot hit the same single segment twice within the same ‘frame’. If it is hit twice, the second hit will be counted as 0. Therefore, it would be more advisable for the player to hit two respective single segments to have a score of 10 pins (7 for inner single segment and 3 for outer single segment). Player can have 20 pins if he hits the triple segment twice. There will only be 10 pins if player hits the double twice. Otherwise, you will only get 9 pins if toy hit the double with your second dart and another segment with your third dart. The perfect game score is 200 / 220 / 240 / 260 / 280 / 300 respectively for the options chosen.

The dartboard will display the leader score for the player takes turn. If the player is failed to match or score more than the leader score, he will lose a life. A leader can choose to proceed to challenge his own leader’s score or skip his turn by pressing NEXT button. If he chose to challenge he is at risking of losing a life in case his score is lower than his own leader’s score. The new score he (the leader) gets no matter higher or lower than the original leader’s score, it regarded as new leader’s score. A player will be out of the game when all his lives are gone.

For example, player 1 tries to hit a single 6 in his turn, he fails and loses one life. Player 2 takes his turn and try to hit a single 6. If he successfully hit single 6 in the first 2 darts, the last dart will be used to determine a new target for the next player. At this moment, the text screen will display “CHOOSE NEW TARGET”. The same rule is applied to the following darts. Singles, doubles and triples are all separate the targets for this game. If player only hits the target in his 3rd dart, he will not lose lift but does not have chance to determine the target for the next player. The current target will be carried on for the next player.

TROUBLE SHOOTING

We are proud of being the originator of the electronic dart board, so we build our boards to be rugged and durable. However, with the delicate electronics in our device, and with the high usage the device may receive, there is a chance that a problem may eventually occur.

No Power

POOR OUTLET CONNECTION. Check the power cord to make sure that it is properly plugged in. Check the circuit breaker (or fuse) in the home to verify that there is power to the electrical outlet.

Devices will not score or no sound

Check to see if a segment is stuck. Also be sure that all buttons are not stuck.

Stuck Segment

If a segment is stuck, the text window will display a message just like “Error=03” to indicate which segment is stuck.

• 03 : single segment #3
• =03 : double 3 segment
• =03 : triple 3 segment

This is usually caused by a broken tip. A long tip that sticks out from the segment surface may be pulled out with pliers. A short tip that is broken off flush with the segment surface can be pushed through the hole into the device without damaging the electronics in the dart-head. Push the tip with an object that is smaller in diameter than the tip.

Electrical storms, power line surges, rolling brown outs, broadcast radio/TV transmitters:

Notice

Under extreme electrical interference conditions of these types, the dart game can show erratic behavior and fail to continue to perform. To restore device to normal operation, disconnect all power sources from the device unit. Unplug adapter and wait for 3 seconds. Reconnect power sources.

Cleaning the Device

The Arachnid, Inc. dart board will provide many hours of fun if cared for properly. Do not use spray cleaners, or cleaners that contain ammonia, acetone, or other harsh chemicals as they may cause damage. Instead, we suggest regular dusting with a damp cloth. Use a mild detergent and damp cloth for more vigorous cleansing. It is a good idea to first test cleaning solutions on an inconspicuous area of the game. Note: Spilling liquids onto the game, exposure to weather, or user abuse (such as dropping the game) can result in permanent damage, and are not covered by the warranty.
