Darts
A Brief Overview:

Darts is an old English pub game that has gained considerable popularity in many countries.

Dart leagues abound, and tournaments are conducted on a regional, national, and international basis.

The standard dart board is the clock, or London, board, which measures 45.7 cm (18 in) in diameter and is divided by wires into 20 equal segments numbered 1 to 20, but not in that order.

The board is further divided by a double-score ring and a treble-score ring, each 9.6 mm (3/8 in) wide, and the highest score obtainable with one dart is 60 points, scored by throwing a dart into the treble ring of the 20-point segment.

Boards are available in four materials: cork, coiled paper, elm, and bristle. Feathered darts are the most common, and darts used for competition are made in three basic barrel-shapes, the variations occurring in distribution of weight: evenly, along the entire shaft; concentrated in a central bulge; and concentrated forward on the barrel.
