- Triple(inner circle of red and green) ... *3 points
- Bull's eye(center black circle) ... 50 points
- Bull(red circle surrounding the Bull's eye) ... 25 points
-
- The bull's eye is considered as double of the bull, so you can win by

- At the beginning of the game, Throwing the Cork is played to decide
- the 1st thrower of the game.
-
- Each player throw a dart and the one throwing closest to the bull's eye
- can throw first at this game.

- beginning of his turn.
