Dart Board Size

[Kristin Banyas]

Theheight is always measured from the floor to the Bulls Eye. Before, you should use a calibrated spirit level to check if its wall is straight. If this is not the case, measure with the measuring tape or the ruler on the spirit level.

On the sketch above you can see very well that the distance from the throw line to the dartboard is a little lower than the one above The Steel Dart Board hangs one centimeter higher than the Electronic Soft Dart Board.

If you look at our graphics with the different dimensions, you can quickly see that all measurements and dimensions start or end at the bullseye. At first glance, it may seem easier to gauge the height of the dartboard and the distance to the oche, to the ejection line. However, in the case of uneven surfaces and whales, deviations from the standard distance measure are often found on the diagonal

However, the diagonal is decisive in the competition order. This is one reason why bullseye is always measured. If you find it difficult to measure the diagonal, you can use a distance measure. manage. You can buy this from specialist retailers, you can also make it yourself. One end is fastened in the bullseye, the other end marks the ejection line.

Another reason why the bullseye is the key measurement point are the different designs of dartboards. Round or square shapes make it difficult to uniformly hold the dartboard. Therefore, the bullseye as the central, fixed point of a dartboard is always the reference point.

Some of the dartboards already come with a pre-made template that allows them to transfer the markings for the holes to the wall. If such a template is not included, you can make it yourself with simple means to simplify the installation of the dartboard.

Place your dartboard with the number segments down on the floor. Take a look at where the four drill holes are located approximately at the outer edges. Then place the blank sheet of paper on the dartboard and mark all the holes on the paper so that they are still visible later.

Now take the sheet of paper from the dart board and place it on the floor or a table to connect the marked points diagonally with a line. This results in the middle of a point that marks the Bulls a dartboard.

Some dartboards are not quite up to standard. In any case, please check if the cross on your template matches the actual position of the Bulls Eye. Place your template on the front of the dartboard and adjust the position of the marker if necessary.

During the preparation of the dartboard you have to pay attention to the wall on which you want to hang the dart. Basically, blankets are suitable for attaching the dartboard. Not only do they have the necessary stability, but they also develop a lower resonant volume, such as, for example, (inside) indoor walls, or even doors or cabinets.

Your neighbors and roommates will be grateful to you, because for them it can be very annoying if the resonance of the wall is too high. For increased sound insulation, in such cases, even thin sheets of cork or similar materials can be very useful as soundproofing.

If several dartboards are to be placed next to each other, for example in a clubhouse, then the so-called open space or play area must be observed. It is particularly important that every darter has a right to perform his litter unhindered. In addition, injuries should also be avoided.

In the case of a dart machine, the distances must be adhered to. The location of the machine should be level. If you do not place it on a wall, the clearance behind the unit must be taken into account. With the help of a spirit level, the machine is aligned exactly. He must be exactly in the balance from right to left as well as from front to back.

Over the years darts has evolved from being a hugely popular game in homes and social settings to being a competitive sport played all over the world. The game was invented in medieval England during the middle of the 1300s. From there, different variations of the game were played, before in 1869 an English carpenter called Brian Gamlin developed modern darts as we know it today.

With this in mind, we have put together this comprehensive, illustrated guide that gives you all the information you need to know about dartboards. The guide covers the regulation height for dartboards, how far from the dartboard you should stand, the standard size of a dartboard, dartboard materials and more!

The measurements and dimensions of a dartboard stay the same regardless of the level of darts you are playing at. The exact regulation dartboard size is 17in (45.1cm) in diameter although this is sometimes rounded up to 18in (45.7cm). This means the overall circumference of a dartboard is 55.76in or 141.64cm (56.55in or 143.63cm with the rounded-up number).

For the metal wiring that separates the different sections and segments of the dartboard, blade wiring is used on most professional dartboards. This material maximizes the scoring areas and minimizes the amount of bounce offs when darts hit with the wiring.

The official dartboard height is 5ft 8in (173cm) which is measured from the floor to the center of the bullseye. Knowing the regulation dartboard height ensures that the board you buy can be fixed at a height that is consistent with other boards you might play on elsewhere.

There are many options available to you to fix your dartboard at the standard height off the floor. The recommended height can be easily attained by using a dartboard stand. If you are a casual player these stands are recommended as they are quick and easy to set up, take down and store away as and when you wish to play. Dartboards that are used frequently at bars, social clubs or in professional games will require a more permanent solution, usually in the form of a wall-mounted bracket.

The regulation throwing distance for darts games is 7ft 9in (237cm). If you are playing on an uneven surface either at home or in a social venue the dartboard distance can also be measured from the bullseye diagonally downwards to the oche. If using this alternative approach, the measurement should be 9ft 7in (293cm).

As well as the size of the dartboard, another constant that stays the same throughout all levels, is that there should be a 2ft (61cm) clearance on either side of the board, in front of the thrower. Steel-tip darts are sharp and can cause considerable damage or injury.

If you are looking to practice or play regularly then the PINPOINT Professional dartboard is the right choice for you. Made from premium sisal fibers, this dartboard is exceptionally durable and long lasting, making it suitable for repeated use over an extended period of time. The blade wiring is designed to reduce bounce offs and increase your scoring averages. The dartboard is also manufactured to regulation size, so can be used in competitions at all levels.

Alternatively, if you are playing sporadically at home and are seeking a cheaper option, then the PINPOINT Standard Dartboard is right for you. Still manufactured from premium sisal fibers, this dartboard has comparable durability to the professional dartboard, at a lower cost and is more suited to casual players looking to play at home. Another subtle difference is the use of slim wiring. This is a viable, cheaper alternative to blade wiring and will still prevent bounce outs.

Today we have two variations of the game that are played, pitting soft tip vs steel tip darts, with the difference between soft and steel tip darts coming primarily from the darts equipment required. Soft-tip darts uses a plastic, electronic dartboard with many holes in which to plant special soft-tipped darts. This form of the game is more child-friendly and is also likely to cause less damage to property from wayward throws!

Dartboard dimensions and sizes are the same whether you are after a standard beginner dartboard or a professional dartboard, with the (exact) regulation dartboard size being 17 inches or 45.1cm in diameter, although you may sometimes see this rounded up to 18 inches or 45.7cm.

For those wondering how dartboards are made, long sisal fibres (extracted from the Agave plant) are collected in tube-like bundles which are then sliced into thin dartboard-width discs. A number of these discs are then pressed together, secured to a circular backboard, and sanded down for a smooth finish. The main ink design and metal framework can then transferred to the surface to complete the board.

When purchasing a dartboard for the first time there are a few things to consider. Where you plan to play, how much space you have available and your budget for new darts equipment will all help determine which dartboard to buy.

Figuring out how seriously you take, or plan to take, the game before choosing the quality of dartboard to buy is also important. Both our beginner and professional dartboards are heavy-duty and designed to last, and both have a classic black, white, red and green design.

Our PINPOINT Beginner Dartboards are a quality bristle dartboard that are made from high-quality Chinese Sisal to ensure their durability, whilst our PINPOINT Professional Dartboards are made from Brazilian Sisal, the most premium Sisal available that is endorsed and used in professional darts events.

Another subtle difference between our beginner and professional models is that the beginner dartboard features pristine slim wiring whereas the professional option has blade wiring which is designed to maximise scoring areas and reduce bounce outs.

The standard international dartboard is known as the "clock" board. The standard dartboard measurement is 18 inches in diameter and has 20 numbered, pie-shaped segments of equal size, plus the bull's-eye. Each numbered segment has a double ring on the outside perimeter of the scoring area and an interior triple ring (which count as double and triple of that number respectively). The bull's-eye has an outerbull area (also know as the single bull, which scores 25) and an inner bull (also known as a double bull's-eye, which scores 50).
