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

GAME 01 – 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. 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 is played 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.

GAME 02 – CRICKET
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.

Cricket Scoring Display
This dartboard utilizes a dedicated scoreboard within the scoring display that keeps track of each player’s segment status when playing Cricket. When Cricket is selected, individual characters will be utilized to register marks. 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.

GAME 03 – 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.

GAME 04 – CUT-THROAT CRICKET
Same basic rules as standard Cricket except once scoring begins, points are added to your opponents) 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!

GAME 05 – 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 – to need 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 bullseye. Once player 2 reaches the objective of getting 9 bullseyes, the roles are reversed for round two.

GAME 06 – ADVANCED CRICKET
This difficult version of cricket was developed 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.

GAME 07 – SHOOTER
This challenging 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 shoot for at the start of each round – indicated by a number in the display.

Scoring is as follows:

  • Single segment = 1 Point
  • Double segment = 2 Points
  • Triple segment = 3 Points

When the computer selects players to hit 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 rounds is the winner.
Adjustable Difficulty Settings for Shooter include 6 rounds, 7 rounds, … 12 rounds.

GAME 08 – BIG SIX
This game allows players to challenge their opponents to hit the targets of their choice. However, players must earn the chance of picking the next target for their opponent by making a hit on the current target first.
Single 6 is the first target to hit when the game begins. Before the game starts, players must agree on how many lives will be used by pressing SELECT button. 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. Player 2 will shoot for the single 6 that player 1 missed. 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 tough targets for your opponent to hit such as “Double Bullseye” or “triple 20” The last player with a life left is the winner.
Adjustable Difficulty Settings for Big Six include 3 ‘lives’, 4 lives’, … 7 ‘lives’.

GAME 09 – OVERS
The object of this game is to simply score higher (“over”) than your own previous three dart total score. Before play begins, players choose the amount of lives to be used by pressing the. 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 screen on the right will light up once for each life taken away. The last player with a life remaining is the winner.

GAME 10 – UNDERS
This game is the opposite of “Overs” Players must score less (“Under”) than their own previous three-dart total. The game begins with 180 (highest total possible) when the player shoots higher than his or her own previous three- dart total, they will lose a life. Each dart that hits outside the scoring area, including bounce outs will be penalized with 60 points added to your score. The last player with a life remaining is the winner.

GAME 11 – 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 display as the game progresses.

GAME 12 – 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.

GAME 13 – ROUND – THE – CLOCK

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

GAME 14 – 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 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” (lives) are lost. If the “killer” hit his/her double segment, he/she will lose a life, 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,

GAME 15 – 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.

fig.5

Each player throws for the numbers as indicated in the chart below in order (the screen will indicate the active segment in which to throw). The player who completes the game with the most points is the winner.

GAME 16 – 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 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 presents quite a challenge!

fig.6

GAME 17 – ALL FIVES – 51
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 × 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 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.

GAME 18 – 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 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

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 display.

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

GAME 19 – 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 54 for 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 to 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!

GAME 20 – FOOTBALL
Strap your helmet on for this game! The first thing necessary is to select each player’s “playing field.” Each player can do this by throwing a dart or by manually pressing a segment on the board. This is entirely up to you, but whichever segment is selected it.

Becomes your starting point which carries through the bullseye and directly across to the other side of the bullseye. 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 display will keep track of your progress and indicate the segment you need to throw for next.

GAME 21 -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 diaaram.

GAME 22 – 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 5segment and ends with a bullseye. Sounds easy right? What has not yet been specified is that you must hit the single segment of each number to get through the course. And, as with a real steeplechase, there are obstacles throughout the course to hurdle. The four hurdles are found at the following places: (Hit the appointed segment to pass the hurdles)

  • 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.

GAME 23 – 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 a dart or manually pressing the segment of choice. Once the 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 point.
    Hint : Try to hit each single to reach 10 points in the frame.

  3. ou 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.

GAME 24 – 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 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 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.

GAME 25 – 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.

GAME 26 – 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.

GAME 27 – 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 starts at 1, shooting for only doubles and triples and triples that are green, works around the board clockwise, and ends at shooting inner and outer bullseye. Player 2 starts at 20, shooting for red segments, works around the board counter- clockwise, and ends at shooting inner and outer bullseye. The display will indicate the target player must hit in a current round. Player has 3 chances to score double and triple in around. If a player hits the double and triple with the first two darts, the third darts will not be scored even if he/she hits the appointed target. What’s more, hitting the wrong number (of your opponent’s color) subtracts that amount from your score – so be careful. Note: a maximum of one double and one triple of the same number can be scored in a single round. When a player finishes shooting all required target, the player with the most points is the winner.

Note: Please use above chart to determine player 1 and 2 if your dartboard segment color is not red and green.

GAME 28 – 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. The player who reaches to selected total gold required first is the winner.

GAME 29 – 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.

GAME 30 – 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 is as follows:

  • TRIPLE RING = Ringer 3 points
  • SINGLE SEGMENT (Triangle) = 1 point
  • DOUBLE RING= Leaner 2 points
  • OUTER SINGLE SEGMENT (Rectangle) = 0 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.
GAME 31 – 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, and 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, and 13)
  • Adjustable difficulty settings are as follows:

BATTLEGROUND DOUBLES:

  • Players shoot for double segments only to eliminate opponent’s armies

BATTLEGROUND TRIPLES:

  • Players shoot for triple segments only to eliminate opponent’s armies

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

GAME 32 – ADVANCED BATTLEGROUND
The rules are the same as standard Battleground except now there are land mines on the battlefield!
Players must be careful to avoid the land mines located in the Triple and Double rings of opponents segment numbers. Any player that hits a double or triple ring on the opposing teams’ battlefield will lose an army of his or her own. For example, if player 1 mistakenly hit the triple ring of the “6” segment, they would lose their own army at the “11” segment.
GAME 33 – PAINTBALL
This game is similar to “Battleground” except there is an alternative way to win the battle other than just hitting the opposing teams’ armies segments. As in the real game of paintball, players can also capture the opposing team’s flag to win the game. To capture the flag, the double bulls eye must be hit 3 times to capture the opposing teams’ flag! Single bulls eyes will not count towards the 3 needed to capture the flag. Double bulls eyes do not have to be scored in the same round and will be tallied during the game. First player to either capture the flag or eliminate the opposing army is the winner.

  • Paintball Doubles Players must either hit 3 double bulls eyes to capture the flag or hit double ringed segments to eliminate armies.
  • Paintball Triples Players must either hit 3 double bulls eyes to capture the flag or hit tripling segments to eliminate armies.

GAME 34 – FOX HUNT

This is a very challenging 2-player game that is best suited for players of advanced skill. One player will play the role of the cat and the other will be the mouse. The object of the game is for the mouse to get back to his hole before being caught by the cat. The mouse starts first from the “20” segment and proceeds counter-clockwise around the dartboard by hitting first the double segment and then the single of each segment. The cat starts back at the “18” segment and proceeds counter clockwise around the dartboard to catch the mouse by hitting doubles only of each segment. If the mouse makes it all the way around the board back to the double 20, the mouse wins the game. If the cat hits the double segment that the mouse is on, the cat has caught the mouse and has won the game.

IMPORTANT NOTES

  • Stuck Segment
    Occasionally, a dart will cause a segment to become wedged within the segment separator web. If this happens, all play will be suspended and the scoring display will indicate the segment number that is stuck. To free the segment, simply remove the dart or broken tip from the segment. If the problem is still not solved, try wiggling the segment until it is loose. The game will then resume where it left off.

  • Broken Tips
    From time to time a tip will break off and become stuck in the segment. Try to remove it with a pair of pliers or tweezers by grasping the exposed end and pulling it out of the segment. If this is not possible, you can attempt to push the tip through to the back of the segment. Use a nail that is smaller than the hole and gently push the tip until it falls through the other side. Be careful not to push too far and damage the circuitry behind the segment. Don”t be alarmed if tips break. This is a normal occurrence when playing soft tip darts. We include a pack of replacement tips that should keep you supplied for quite some time. When replacing tips, make sure you use the same type of tips that come with this dartboard.

  • Darts
    It is recommended that you do not use darts that exceed 18 grams on this dartboard. The darts included with this dartboard average 10 grams and use standard soft tips. Replacement tips are available at most retailers carrying dart products. Look for soft tip dart accessories for all your electronic dart needs.

  • Cleaning your Electronic Dartboard
    Your electronic dartboard will provide many hours of competition if cared for properly. Regular dusting of the cabinet is recommended using a damp cloth. A mild detergent can be used if necessary. The use of abrasive cleaners or cleaners that contain ammonia may cause damage and should not be used. Avoid spilling liquid onto the target area since it can result in permanent damage and is not covered by the warranty.
