Darts is a game in which the players throw darts at a target called a dartboard that is hung on a wall. As well as being a professional competitive sport, it is commonly played in pubs in the United Kingdom, the Netherlands, the Scandinavian countries, the United States and elsewhere. A regulation dartboard measures about 18 inches in diameter, and is divided into 20 equal-sized areas shaped like wedges of a pie. The dartboard is further divided by a narrow outer ring called the double ring, and a narrow inner ring called the triple ring. A game, or leg, of darts is usually contested between two players, who take turns to throw up to three darts, one at a time.
