Among the many new things to do at Ruth's is a new Dart League which we are trying to form now. What we need are players! If you are interested in more information or simply want to contact the organizer, send an e-mail to maryannbrigham@comcast.net

We have a regulation bristle board, securely mounted near the stage, at the regulation height of 5'8" from the floor to the center bull. The "Oche" line (where you throw from) is also clearly marked, 7'9¼" away from the board. House darts are available for anyone who does not own their own. See one of the bartenders for darts. Leave you drivers license which you can get back when you are finished.
In the beginning, we'll have individual play of either Cricket or 301.

Basic House Rules

Players take turns throwing three darts each. Each player removes his darts and marks his score before the opponent throws. Darts that bounce off or miss the board do not score and cannot be rethrown that turn.

All games begin with "double-in", including Cricket. 301 games also end with "double-out".
For instance, if you have 2 points left, you must hit a double-1 to bring the score down to zero. From 18 points, a double-9 would work. If you have an odd number left (a number that cannot be divided by 2), then darts must be thrown to reduce the score to an even number, before throwing at a double. For instance, there is no possible double out from 19, so a way to finish would be to throw a single-3 first, reducing the score to 16. The 16 can then be "taken-out" by throwing a double-8.

No slop. Call your shots. You must hit what you are aiming at.

Note: It is a common misconception that dartboards are made of hair or bristles from pigs, camels, or horses. This is a myth... No such animal fiber boards have ever been made!
