How to Make a Darts Scoreboard

Since Medieval England, the game of darts has been used for many different reasons. From combat training to pub games, darts have been a part of people's lives for years. With numbers being added to the dart board in 1896, a score keeping method was devised.

Things You'll Need

Piece of paper for score keeping or a dry erase board
Any color pen or marker (for dry erase board)

Instructions

- 1
  Write your name and your opponent's name at the top of the board, leaving space for a downward column to the left of the first name.
- 2
  Draw a line directly under the names.
- 3
  Draw a line straight down between the two names. The line should reach to the bottom of the paper/dry erase board.
- 4
  Draw a line from the top of the scoreboard to the bottom, starting directly to the left of the first name and going straight down.
- 5
  Going downwards (in the column created by the far left line) list the numbers 14-20, followed by a "B" for "bullseye."
- 6
  Draw lines going from the left of the board to the right side separating each of the numbers and the "B."
- 7
  Play your darts game, marking each time you hit one of the numbers on the scoreboard.
