Caring for your Electronic Dartboard

• Do not use excessive force when throwing darts. Throwing darts too hard will cause frequent tip breakage and cause excess wear on the board.
• Turn darts clockwise as you pull them from the board. This makes it easier to remove darts and extends the life of the tips.
• If you need to replace your AC adapter, use only a genuine Arachnid AC adapter (available directly from Arachnid) for this dartboard. Use of a non-Arachnid AC adapter may cause electrical shock, fire, and damage to the electronic circuits and will void your warranty.
• Not all dartboards include the AC adapter and can be powered by battery.
• Do not spill liquids on the dartboard. Do not use spray cleaners, cleaners that contain ammonia or other harsh chemicals, as they may cause damage.

Game Rules

Your Arachnid electronic dartboard is loaded with games and options. The rules for each game are detailed below in the order they appear on the electronic display when paging through the games. An illustration of the electronic displays is indicated next to the game description for your reference. Please note the characters may appear slightly different than illustrated here.

301

This popular tournament and pub game is played by subtracting each dart from the starting total until the player reaches exactly 0 (zero). If a player goes past zero it is considered a “Bust” and the score returns to where it was at the start of that round. For example, if a player needs a 32 to finish the game and he/she hits a 20, 8, and 10 (totals 38), the score goes back to 32 for the next round.

In playing the game, the double in / double out option can be chosen (double out is the most widely used option). Simply press the “DOUBLE” button to change this setting. Electronic Scoring indicators will display your current setting:

• Double In – A double must be hit before points are subtracted from the total. In other words, a player’s scoring does not begin until a double is hit.
• Double Out – A double must be hit to end the game. This means that an even number is necessary to finish the game.
• Double In and Double Out – A double is required to start and end scoring of the game by each player.
• Master Out – A double or triple is required to finish the game.

Dart-Out Feature (“01” games only)

• This electronic dartboard has a special “Dart Out” feature. When a player requires less than 160 to reach zero, the estimate feature becomes active. The player can press the DART OUT button to view the darts necessary to throw to finish the game (reach zero exactly).
• Doubles and triples are indicated with 2 or 3 lines to the left of each number respectively.
• Adjustable Difficulty Settings for 301 include 401, 501, 601, 701, 801, and 901. To change to these more difficult settings, simply press the SELECT button. Each option isplayed exactly as outlined for 301 with the exception of the starting total; 401 has starting total of 401 points; 501 has starting total of 501 points and so on up to 901.

CRICKET

• Cricket is a strategic game for accomplished players and beginners alike. Players throw for numbers best suited for them and can force opponents to throw for numbers not as suitable for them. The object of Cricket is to “close” all of the appropriate numbers before one’s opponent while racking up the highest number of points.
• Only the numbers 15 through 20 and the inner/outer bullseye are used. Each player must hit a number 3 times to “open” that segment for scoring. A player is then awarded the number of points of the “open” segment each time he/she throws a dart that lands in that segment, provided their opponent has not closed that segment. Hitting the double ring counts as two hits, and the triple ring counts as 3 hits.
• Numbers can be opened or closed in any order. A number is “closed” when the other player(s) hit the open segment 3 times. Once a number has been “closed”, any player for the remainder of the game can no longer score on it.
• Winning – The side closing all the numbers first and accumulating the highest point total is the winner. If a player “closes” all numbers first but is behind in points, he/she must continue to score on the “open” numbers. If the player does not make up the point deficit before the opposing player(s) “closes” all the numbers, the opposing side wins. Play continues until all segments are closed – the winner is the player with the highest score.

Cricket Scoring Display

• This dartboard utilizes a dedicated scoreboard that keeps track of each player’s segment status when playing Cricket. The exclusive Tournament Cricket Scoring display on this dartboard utilizes traditional X and O style characters to track ‘marks’. When Cricket is selected, the lights on the Cricket scoreboard are not lit – they will illuminate as ‘marks’ are scored. There are 3 separate lights within each number (15 through 20 and bullseye).
• During play, one of the status lights will turn on as a segment is hit. If a double or triple of an active number is hit, 2 or 3 lights will turn on respectively.

NO-SCORE CRICKET

(Press SELECT button when Cricket is displayed)

• Same rules as standard Cricket except there is no point scoring. The object of this version is to be the first to simply “close” all the appropriate numbers (15 through 20 and the bullseye).

SCRAM

(For 2 players only)

• This game is a variation of Cricket. The game consists of two rounds. The players have a different objective in each round. In round 1, player 1 tries to “close” (score 3 hits in each segment – 15 to 20 and bullseye). During this time, player 2 attempts to rack up as many points in the segments that the other player has not yet closed. Once player 1 has closed all segments, round 1 is complete. In round 2, each player’s roles are reversed. Now, player 2 tries to close all the segments while player 1 goes for points.
• The game is over when round 2 is complete (player 2 closes all segments). The player with the highest point total is the winner.

CUT-THROAT CRICKET

Same basic rules as standard Cricket except once scoring begins, points are added to your opponent(s) total. The object of this game is to end up with the fewest points. This variation of Cricket offers a different psychology to the players. Rather than adding to your own score and helping your own cause as in standard Cricket, Cut-Throat offers the benefit of racking up points for your opponent(s), digging him in a deeper hole. Competitive players will love this variation!

ENGLISH CRICKET

(For 2 players only)

• This game is another variation of Cricket that requires precision dart throwing. The game consists of two rounds. The players have a different objective in each round. During the first round, player 2 attempts to throw bullseyes – with the objective of needing 9 to complete round 1. Double bull (red center) counts as 2 scores. Any throw that does not hit bullseye is credited to player 1’s point total. For example, if player 2 throws a 20, a single bullseye, and a 7 during his/her turn, player 2 will have one bullseye subtracted from the 9 needed, and 27 points will be credited to player 1’s point total. Player 2 must exhibit accurate bullseye dart throwing!
• Meanwhile, player 1 attempts to score as many points as possible during this first round.
• Doubles and triples count 2x and 3x their respective values. However, to score points, player 1 must score over 40 points in each turn (3 throws) to amass points against player 2. Only those points over 40 are counted toward the cumulative score. Player 1 must also exhibit precision dart throwing and avoid hitting any bullseyes during this first round because any hits scored by player 1 in the bullseye area will be subtracted from player 2’s needed total of 9 bullseyes.
• Once player 2 reaches the objective of getting 9 bullseyes, the roles are reversed for round two.

ADVANCED CRICKET

A difficult version of cricket recommended for the advanced player. Players must close out the segments (20,19,18,17,16,15 and bullseye) by using only triples and doubles. In this challenging game, doubles segments count as 1x the number, and triple segments count as 2x the number. The bullseye scoring is the same as in standard cricket. The first player to close out the numbers with the most points is the winner.

SHOOTER

This game tests the players ability to “group together” darts within a segment during each round of play. The computer will randomly select the segment the players must hit for each round and display the flashing number in the display.

• Scoring is as follows: Single segment = 1 Point
• Double segment = 2 Points
• Triple segment = 3 Points
• Single Bullseye = 4 Points

When the computer selects double Bullseye, the outer bull scores 2 points and the inner bull scores 4 points. The player with the most points at the end of the selected rounds is the winner. Adjustable Difficulty Settings for Shooter include 6 rounds, 7 rounds, … 12 rounds.

BIG SIX

• This game pits player against player to challenge your opponent to hit the targets you select.
• Similar to the popular basketball game “HORSE”, players must earn the chance of picking the next target for their opponent by scoring a hit on the current target first. Single 6 is the first target to shoot for at the start of the game. Before the game starts, players must agree on how many ‘lives’ will be used. Within the three throws, player 1 must hit a 6 to“save” their life. After the current target is hit, the next dart thrown will determine the opponents target. If player 1 fails to hit the current target within 3 darts, they will lose a ‘life’ and a chance to determine the next target for player 2. In this case, player 2 shoots for the single 6 – and if it is hit, he can throw for a segment for the next round.
• Singles, doubles and triples are all separate targets for this game. The object of the game is to force your opponent into losing ‘lives’ by selecting difficult targets for your opponent to hit such as “Double Bullseye” or “triple 20” The last player with a ‘life’ left is thewinner.

Adjustable Difficulty Settings for Big Six include 3 ‘lives’, 4 ‘lives’, … 7 ‘lives’.

OVERS

• The object of this game is to simply score higher (“over”) than your previous three dart total score. Before play begins, players choose the amount of ‘lives’ to be used. When a player fails to score “over “ their previous three dart total, they will lose one ‘life’. When a player “equals” the previous three dart total, a ‘life’ will also be lost. The LED display on the right will indicate remaining ‘lives’. The last player with a ‘life’ remaining is the winner.
• Adjustable Difficulty Settings for Overs include 3 ‘lives’, 4 ‘lives’, … 7 ‘lives’.

UNDERS

• This game is the opposite of “Overs” Players must score less (“Under”) than their previous three dart total. The game begins with 180 (highest total possible). When a player shoots higher than his previous three dart total, he will lose one ‘life’. Each dart that hits outside the scoring area, including bounce outs will be penalized with 6o points added to your score.
• This will be added at the end of the round when the START/HOLD button is pressed. The last player with a ‘life’ remaining is the winner Adjustable Difficulty Settings for Unders include 3 ‘lives’, 4 ‘lives’, … 7 ‘lives’.

COUNT-UP

• The object of this game is to be the first player to reach the specified point total. Point total is specified when the game is selected. Each player attempts to score as many points as possible per round. Doubles and triples count 2 or 3 times the numerical value of each segment. For example a dart that lands in the triple 20 segment is scored as 60 points. The cumulative scores for each player will be displayed in the LED display as the game progresses.
• Adjustable Difficulty Settings for Count-Up include 400, 500, 600, 700, 800, 900, and 999. To change to these more difficult settings, simply press the SELECT button. Each option is played exactly as outlined above with the exception of the total necessary to win the game. For example, in Count-Up 500, the first player to reach 500 points is the winner.

HIGH SCORE

• The rules for this competitive game are simple – Rack up the most points in three rounds (nine darts) to win. Doubles and triples count as 2x and 3x that segment’s score respectively.
• Adjustable Difficulty Settings for High Score include 4 rounds, 5 rounds, … 14 rounds. Each option is played exactly as outlined above with the exception of the number of rounds in the game. For example, in High Score 7 rounds, the player with the most points after 7 rounds is the winner.

ROUND-THE-CLOCK

Each player attempts to score in each number from 1 through 20 and bullseye in order. Each player throws 3 darts per turn. If a correct number is hit, he/she tries for the next number in sequence. The first player to reach 20 is the winner. The display will indicate which segment you are shooting for. A player must continue shooting for a segment until it ishit. The display will then indicate the next segment you should shoot for.

There are many difficulty settings available for this game. Each game has the same rules, the differences are detailed as follows:

• ROUND-THE-CLOCK 5 – Game starts at segment number 5
• ROUND-THE-CLOCK 10 – Game starts at segment number 10
• ROUND-THE-CLOCK 15 – Game starts at segment number 15

Since this game does not utilize point scoring, the double and triple rings count as single numbers.

ROUND-THE-CLOCK Double – Player must score a Double in each segment from 1 through 20 in order.

• ROUND-THE-CLOCK Double 5 – Game starts at double segment 5
• ROUND-THE-CLOCK Double 10 – Game starts at double segment 10
• ROUND-THE-CLOCK Double 15 – Game starts at double segment 15

ROUND-THE-CLOCK Triple – Player must score a Triple in each segment from 1 through 20 in order.

• ROUND-THE-CLOCK Triple 5 – Game starts at triple segment 5
• ROUND-THE-CLOCK Triple 10 – Game starts at triple segment 10
• ROUND-THE-CLOCK Triple 15 – Game starts at triple segment 15

KILLER

• This game will really show who your friends are. The game can be played with as few as two players, but the excitement and challenge builds with even more players. To start, each player must select his number by throwing a dart at the target area. The LED display will indicate “SEL” at this point. The number each player gets is his assigned number throughout the game. No two players can have the same number. Once each player has a number, the action starts.
• Your first objective is to establish yourself as a “Killer” by hitting the double segment of your number. Once your double is hit, you are a “Killer” for the rest of the game. Now, your objective is to “kill” your opponents by hitting their segment number until all their “lives” are lost. The last player to remain with lives is declared the winner. It is not uncommon for players to “team up” and go after the better player to knock him out of the game.
• Adjustable Difficulty Settings for Killer include 7 lives, 8 lives, … 14 lives. Each option is played exactly as outlined above with the exception of the number of lives each player has in the game. In addition, for those who really want a challenge, there are three additional difficulty settings: Doubles 3 lives, Doubles 5 lives, and Doubles 7 lives. In these games, youcan only “Kill” opponents by scoring doubles in their number segment.

DOUBLE DOWN

• Each player starts the game with 40 points. The object is to score as many hits in the active segment of the current round. The first round, the player must throw for the 15 segment. If no 15’s are hit, his score is cut in half. If some 15’s are hit, each 15 (doubles and triples count) is added to the starting total. The next round players throw for the 16 segment and hits are added to the new cumulative point total. Again, if no hits are registered, the point total is cut in half.
• Each player throws for the numbers as indicated in the chart below in order (the LED screen will indicate the active segment in which to throw). The player who completes the game with the most points is the winner.

DOUBLE DOWN 41

This game follows similar rules as standard Double Down as described above with two exceptions. First, instead of going from 15 through 20 and bullseye, the sequence is reversed which will be indicated on the LED display. Second, an additional round is included toward the end in which players must attempt to score three hits that add up to 41 points (20, 20, 1; 19, 19, 3; D10, D10, 1: etc.). This “41” round adds an extra level of difficulty to the  game. Remember, a player’s score is cut in half if not successful, so the “41” round presentsquite a challenge!

ALL FIVES

• The entire board is in-play for this game (all segments are active). With each round (of 3 darts) each player has to score a total which is divisible by 5. Every “five” counts as one point. For example 10, 10, 5 = 25. Since 25 is divisible by 5 fives, this player scores 5 points (5 x 5 = 25).
• If a player throws 3 darts that are not divisible by 5, no points are given. Also, the last dart of each round must land in a segment. If a player throws the third dart and it lands in the catch ring area (or misses the board completely), he earns no points even if the first two darts are divisible by 5. This prevents a player from “tanking” the third throw if his first two are good.
• The first player to total fifty-one (51) “fives” is the winner. The LED screen will keep track of the point totals.
• Adjustable Difficulty Settings for All Fives include 51, 61, 71, 81, and 91. Each option is played exactly as outlined above with the exception of the number of points (or fives) it takes to win the game.

SHANGHAI

Each player must progress around the board from 1 through 20 in order. Players start at number 1 and throw 3 darts. The object is to score the most points possible in each round of 3 darts. Doubles and triples count toward your score. The player with the highest score after completing all twenty segments is the winner.

Adjustable Difficulty Settings for Shanghai include the following options:

• SHANGHAI 5 – Game starts at segment 5
• SHANGHAI 10 – Game starts at segment 10
• SHANGHAI 15 – Game starts at segment 15

In addition, we added Super Shanghai as a difficulty option. This game is played exactly as described above except various doubles and triples must be hit as specified by the LED display.

Adjustable Difficulty Settings for Super Shanghai include the following options:

• SUPER SHANGHAI 5 – Game starts at segment 5
• SUPER SHANGHAI 10 – Game starts at segment 10
• SUPER SHANGHAI 15 – Game starts at segment 15

GOLF

• This is a dartboard simulation of the game golf (but you don’t need clubs to play). The object is to complete a round of 9 through 18 “holes” with the lowest score possible. The  Championship “course” consists of all par 3 holes making par 27 for a nine hole round or 54for a round of 18.
• The segments 1 through 18 are used with each number representing a “hole.” You must score 3 hits in each hole to move to the next hole. Obviously, double and triples affect your score as they allow you to finish a hole with fewer strokes. For example, throwing a triple on the first shot of a hole it is counted as an “eagle” and that player gets a completes that hole with 1 “stroke.”

Note: The active player continues to throw darts until he “holes out” (scores 3 hits on the current hole). The voice announcer will indicate the player that is up – listen carefully to avoid shooting out of sequence. By the way, there are no “gimmes” in this game!

FOOTBALL

• Strap your helmet on for this game! The first thing necessary is to select each player’s “playing field.” This can be done by throwing a dart or by manually pressing a segment on the board by each player. This is entirely up to you, but whichever segment is selected becomes your starting point which carries through the bullseye and directly across to the other side of the bullseye (see diagram).
• For example, if you select the 20 segment, you start on the double 20 (outer ring) and continue all the way through to the double 3. The “field” is made up of 11 individual segments and must be hit in order. So, keeping with the example above, you must throw darts in the following segments in this order:
• Double 20 … Outer Single 20 … Triple 20 … Inner Single 20 … Outer Bullseye … Inner Bullseye … Outer Bullseye … Inner Single 3 … Triple 3 … Outer Single 3 … and finally a Double 3.
• The First player to “score” is the winner. The LED display will keep track of your progress and indicate the segment you need to throw for next.

BASEBALL

This dartboard version of baseball takes a great deal of skill. As in the real game, a complete game consists of 9 innings. Each player throws 3 darts per “inning.” The field is laid out as shown in the diagram.

Segment Result____

• Singles segments “Single” – one base
• Doubles segment “Double” – two bases
• Triples segment “Triple” – Three bases
• Bullseye “Home Run” (can only be attempted on third dart of each round)

The object of the game is to score as many runs as possible each inning. The player with the most runs at the end of the game is the winner.

STEEPLECHASE

The object of this game is to be the first player to finish the “race” by being the first to complete the “track.” The track starts at the 20 segment and runs clockwise around the board to the 5 segment and ends with a bullseye. Sounds easy right? What has not yet been specified is that you must hit the inner single segment of each number to get through the course. This is the area between the bullseye and the triples ring. And, as with a real steeplechase, there are obstacles throughout the course to hurdle. The four hurdles are found at the following places:

• 1st fence Triple 13
• 2nd fence Triple 17
• 3rd fence Triple 8
• 4th fence Triple 5

The first player to complete the course and hit the bullseye wins the race.

BOWLING

This dartboard adaptation of bowling is a real challenge! It is a difficult game in that you must be very accurate to rack up a decent score. Player one starts the game. You must select your “alley” by either throwing dart or manually pressing segment of choice. Once alley is selected, you have 2 remaining darts to throw in which to score points or “pins.” Each specific segment in your “alley” is worth a given pin total:

• Segment Score
• Double 9 pins
• Outer Single 3 pins
• Triple 10 pins
• Inner Single 7 pins

There are several rules for this game as follows:

1. A perfect game score would be 200 in this version of bowling
2. You cannot hit the same singles segment twice within the same “frame” (round). The second hit will count as zero points. Hint: Try to hit each single to reach 10 points in the frame.
3. You can score 20 points per “frame” by hitting the triple segment twice.
4. Hitting the double segment with your second dart will only count as 10 points if you scored a double on your first throw. Otherwise, you will score a total of 9 points by throwing a double with your second dart.

CAR RALLYING

• This game is similar to steeplechase except we let you set up your own “race track.” You can set up as many obstacles as you wish. The track must be 20 lengths long.
• Before the game starts, the LED display will prompt you to select the course (“SEL”). Players should alternate selecting segments by pressing on the specific segment of your choice. Note: You will have to hit the exact segment you selected to move on during the race. If you choose inner single 20, that inner single area will need to be hit during the race.
• The LED display will indicate inner single with a line next to the bottom of the 1, an outer single is shown with a line next to the top portion of the 1.
• Obstacles usually comprise hitting a difficult number before continuing on the racetrack.
• Again, the route can be made as difficult or easy as you wish and can go anywhere on the target area of the board.
• After the track is selected, press START to begin the race. The first player to complete the course is the winner.

SHOVE A PENNY

• Only the numbers 15 through 20 and the bullseye are used. Singles are worth 1 point, doubles are worth 2, and triples are worth 3 points. Each player must throw for the numbers in order with the objective of scoring 3 points in each segment to move on to the next. If a player scores more than 3 points in any one number, the excess points are given to the next player. The first player to score 3 points in all segments (15 – 20 and bull) is the winner.

NINE-DART CENTURY

The object of this game is to attempt to score 100 points, or come as close as possible, after 3 rounds (9 darts). Doubles and triples count as 2x and 3x their value respectively. Going over 100 points is considered a “bust” and causes you to lose unless all players go over. In that case, the player closest to 100 wins (player that scored the lowest amount over 100.

GREEN VS. RED

(2 players only)

• This game is a race around the board, where skill at hitting doubles and triples pays off with victory. Player 1 is “green” and player 2 is “red.” Player 1 shoots for only doubles and triples that are green and works around the board clockwise. Player 2 starts at 20 and works around the board counter-clockwise, shooting for red segments (the temporary score display will indicate which segment to throw for).

Note: a maximum of one double and one triple of the same number can be scored in a single round. What’s more, hitting the wrong number (of your opponent’s color) subtracts that amount from your score – so be careful. The player with the most points after completion of the game is the winner.

GOLD HUNTING

The object of this game is to find “gold.” You collect gold for each 50 points. Gold is only collected only if your score is exactly 50 or a multiple of 50 (100, 150, etc.) at any point during a round. However, since “gold” can make a person greedy, not only do you collect gold for every multiple of 50, you also steal 1 gold from all other players. Therefore, as you collect gold, you take 1 gold from all other players who have gold. This is a real back-and- forth game, but the player who reaches to selected total gold required first is the winner.

CASINO A – FLUSH

• This game, inspired by casino play, tests your nerve and skill as you gamble points to defeat your opponent. The object of the game is to be the first player to reach the designated point total.
• The end-game point total can be changed by pressing the SELECT button. Available options include; 260, 310, 360, 410, 460, 510, and 560. Press START button and you’re ready to go.
• The dartboard will indicate the number you must throw for. The default “bet” is 10 points.
• However, each player can increase his bet at the start of each round to 20, 30, 40, … 90 points. Players usually wager high when a number appears they are confident in hitting. To change your bet (at start of a round) press the BOUNCE OUT button. Your new bet will be indicated in the display (for example, ”b20“ will appear to indicate a bet of 20 points). The bet will automatically revert to 10 points at the start of each round.
• To “cash in” on your bet, you need to hit the indicated number segment. Hitting a single on the first throw is a “push” and does not score points. However throwing a double or triple of the correct segment on the first throw counts as 1x and 2x your bet respectively. Your next two darts in the round count as 1x, 2x, and 3x your bet for a single, double, or triple. The segment scoring display will light to indicate the number of successful hits you have registered. Failing to hit the active segment in a round costs you the value of the bet you selected at the start of the round.
• The first player to reach the designated point total is the winner.

CASINO B – STRAIGHT

• This game, while similar to Casino A, has an added element of play. Again, the object of the game is to be the first player to reach the designated point total.
• The end-game point total can be changed by pressing the SELECT button. Available options include; 260, 310, 360, 410, 460, 510, and 560. Press START button and you’re ready to go.
• The dartboard will indicate the number you must throw for. The default “bet” is 10 points.
• However, each player can increase his bet at the start of each round to 20, 30, 40, … 90 points. Players usually wager high when a number appears they are confident in hitting. To change your bet (at start of a round) press the BOUNCE OUT button. Your new bet will be indicated in the display (for example, “b20“ will appear to indicate a bet of 20 points). The bet will automatically revert to 10 points at the start of each round.
• To “cash in” on your bet, you need to hit the indicated number segment. Hitting a single on the first throw is a “push” and does not score points. However throwing a double or triple of the correct segment on the first throw counts as 1x and 2x your bet respectively. This is where the new element comes into play. Instead of throwing for the same segment during each round, your sequence is to span across the target area. For example, if the display indicated to throw for segment 1, you attempt to throw for segment 1, followed by a bullseye, followed by segment 19. The temporary score display will indicate segment to aim for after each throw.
• Your next two darts in the round count as 1x, 2x, and 3x your bet for a single, double, or triple (bullseye segment has no triple area). The segment scoring display will light to indicate the number of successful hits you have registered. Failing to hit the active segment in a round costs you the value of the bet you selected at the start of the round.
• The first player to reach the designated point total is the winner.

CASINO C – 3-STAR

• This version of Casino is very difficult, as you need to score at least 3 hits in the active segment during each round to score points. Again, the object of the game is to be the first player to reach the designated point total.
• The end-game point total can be changed, as with the other versions, by pressing the SELECT button. Available options include; 260, 310, 360, 410, 460, 510, and 560. Press START button and you’re ready to go.
• Only the segments 15 through 20 and bullseye are active in this game. The segment scoring display will be lit at the start of each round. The default “bet” is 10 points. However, each player can increase his bet at the start of each round to 20, 30, 40, … 90 points. Players usually wager high when a number appears they are confident in hitting.
• To change your bet (at start of a round) press the BOUNCE OUT button. Your new bet will be indicated in the display (for example, “b20“ will appear to indicate a bet of 20 points). The bet will automatically revert to 10 points at the start of each round.
• To “cash in” on your bet, you need to hit an active segment (15 – 20 and bullseye) 3 times or score a triple “opens’ the segment for scoring and that player receives 3 times the value of his bet. Doubles and triples count as 2 and 3 hits respectively. Failing to hit a segment 3 times forces that  player to lose the value of his bet. Also, hits within segments are not carried over to the next round.
• The first player to reach the designated point total is the winner.

ELIMINATION

The object of the game is to “Eliminate” your opponents. The rules are very simple. Each player must score higher total points with 3 darts than the opponent before them. Each player starts with 3 lives. If the player fails to score higher total points than the previous opponents score, they lose one life. Tie scores will also result in a lost life. The winner is the last player with lives remaining. Press the SELECT button before starting to play with 4 or 5 lives per player.

HORSESHOES

This 2 -player game uses only the 20 and 3 segments to represent the two horseshoe pits. Player 1 will shoot at the 20 segment and Player 2 will shoot at the 3 segment. Scoring is cumulated per round. First player to score 15 points is the winner. Scoring for Horseshoes is as follows:

• TRIPLE RING = Ringer 3 points
• DOUBLE RING= Leaner 2 points
• INNER SEGMENT (Small)= 1 point

Scores will only count for the player or team with the most points in that round.

For example , if player 1 scores 3 points and player 2 scores 1 point, only player 1 will awarded 3 points for that round. Rounds continue until 15 points are scored. Adjustable Difficulty Settings for Horseshoes include games from 15- 25 points. Press the SELECT button before starting the game for these variations.

BATTLEGROUND

In this 2-player game, the dartboard is a battleground divided into two halves. The first player to hit all of the opposing segments (armies) wins the game. Segments do not have to be hit in order.

• Player 1 is the “TOP” army and shoots darts at the bottom sections of the board.
  Player 1 needs to hit bottom segments (6, 10, 15, 2, 17, 3, 19, 7, 16, 8)

• Player 2 is the “BOTTOM” army and shoots for the top section of the dartboard
  Player 2 needs to hit top segments (11, 14, 9, 12, 5, 20, 1, 18, 4, 13)

If a player shoots and hits their own side of the dartboard (army) they lose that army.

Adjustable difficulty settings are as follows:

• BATTLEGROUND DOUBLES:
  Players shoot for double segments only to eliminate the opponent’s armies

• BATTLEGROUND TRIPLES:
  Players shoot for triple segments only to eliminate the opponent’s armies

• BATTLEGROUND with GENERALS
  This variation of the game includes one more obstacle to accomplish to win the game. Players must capture the “general” after all segments (armies) have been hit to win the game. One hit on the bullseye will capture the general. Hits to the bullseye will not count if all segments are not first closed.

BATTLEGROUND SCOREBOARD

The top cricket scoring display on the dartboard shows player 1’s army segments. Player 2’s army segments are in the second row. Each time a segment is hit, the corresponding light will shut off. Follow the scoreboard below to keep track of which segments you need to hit to win.
