DARTS and TIPS
1. The plastic tips will break easily and it also hard to remove the dart from the
dartboard if you use heavy darts. Soft-tipped darts weighting 12 to 16 grams are
most suitable for he electronic dartboard. Do not use darts weighting over 19 grams.
2. Do not attempt to push the broken tips into the inner part of the dartboard when the
plastic tip is broken and stuck on the holes of the target segments. In this way, the
broken tip which is at the inner part of the dartboard will obstruct the target segment
from moving smoothing and sensing the signal exactly. Please refer to the
descriptions in the Trouble Shooting section of this book. Release the screws on the
bottom cover of the board to take up the bottom cover, holding the broken tip with a
needle-nose pliers, then push it out from the inner side of the target segment.

GAME RULES
SOME GENERAL DART RULES
1. A round (turn) shall consist of 3 darts. Any dart bouncing off, or falling out of the
dartboard shall not be re-thrown.
2. All players throw in sequence. To decide the throwing sequence by throwing the Bull,
the player throwing closest the bull’s-eye shall throw first.
3. The singles shall score as the face number of the segment, the double (or triple)
rings shall score double (or triple) the segment number, the outer bull shall score 25
points and the inner bull shall score 50 points (double 25).
’01 GAMES: 301, 501… to 1001 (A01)
1. Each player starts at a beginning score of 301, 501…901 or 1001. The object of
the game is to reduce each round’s score from the beginning score. When the
player reaches zero exactly, they finish the game.
2. The round is a BUST (display buSt) when a player throws a dart resulting a score
higher than the residual score that can not reach a zero score exactly. It will stop
the current round and return the player’s score to the last round’s score of the
current player.
3. There are 4 double IN/OUT options in each ’01 game.
DOUBLE IN: The player must hit a number in the double ring or the inner
bull’s-eye to start the game.
OPEN IN: Hit any number to start the game.
DOUBLE OUT: The player must hit a number in the double ring or the inner bull
to get the score to zero exactly and finish the game. It will be a
bust round when the player’s score falls to 1 point under the
double out option status.
OPEN OUT: A number is hit that reaches the score of zero exactly to finish the game.
SCORE CRICKET (SUPER CRICKET)
1. The object of Score Cricket is for each player/team to “close” each number from
15 through 20 plus the bull’s-eye. The first player/team to “CLOSE” all numbers
and the bull’s-eye, and to be even or ahead on points wins.
2. A player closes a specific number or the bull’s-eye by hitting 1 triple, 1 double
plus 1 single, or 3 singles. The outer bull is considered a single and the inner bull
is a double.
3. The player to “close” a specific number “owns” the number and can score points
on this number until all of the players also close it.
NO SCORE CRICKET
The game of No Score Cricket is simpler than Score Cricket. The object of this
game is to only “Close” the numbers 15 through 20, plus the bull’s-eye. The first
player to close all the target numbers wins the game. There is no need to compare
the scores.
CUT-THROAT CRICKET
1. The game plays the same as Score Cricket, except that when a player closes a
number, the score for all further hits to that number are given to the opponents
with that same number open. The first player with all his/her numbers closed and
lowest score wins.
2. All the displays for Cut Throat are the same as the Score Cricket game.
LUDO (Mensch Ärgere Dich Nich): 300 to 900
1. Rules of the LUDO dart game:
a). Each player starts the game with 0 points and adds to their cumulative score
with each scored dart, but any previous player’s cumulative score may fall back
to 0 points again when the previous player is “killed” by the current player. To
kill an opponent (making the opponent re-start from 0 points) by scoring the
current player’s score as the same value of the tens and units (compare 2
digital value of the 10’ and 1’ only, no need to compare 100’) as the previous
player’s cumulative score. Each scored dart can kill an opponent, and it is
possible to kill all 3 opponents in a round.
b). The current player will increase 1 “Life” when he/she kills an opponent one time.
c). Any cumulative score between 0 to 29 points is in the safety zone, and the
current player can not kill the opponent’s score back to 0 points when the
previous player’s cumulative score is less than 30 points.
d). There are two ways to win the LUDO dart game:
The cumulative points reach or go over a target score. The target score can
be preset from 300, 400… to 900 points (in 100 points increments).
Kill the opponent(s) 7 times (accumulating to 7 lives).
2. Score gap displays:
The dartboard will compare the 2 digital value of the 10 and 1 of the current
player’s score with the others. If the score gap is less than 60 points, the
dartboard will display the score gap with the previous player number. It will display
all the score gaps alternatively if there are over 2 score gaps less than 60 points.
It will show the “--H-” symbol if no score gap is less than 60 points. For example:
39H7 and 43H2 displayed alternatively means the current player can hit 39 to
killer player 7 and hit 43 to kill player 2.
KILLER
1. The object of the game, as the name suggests is to “kill” the opponents’ lives before
your own is eliminated. The last player/team remaining “alive” is the winner.
2. The game can play all numbers except the bull’s-eye.
3. At the beginning of the game, each player should throw one dart with the
opposite hand to select his/her own number. Every player must have a different
number if a player misses the board or hits a number already taken or a
bull’s-eye, he/she must throw again.
4. There are 2 game options: Killer (Double Ring), Killer (3-7 Life).
KILLER: 3-7LF (LIVES)
1. In 3-7 LF option:
a). Each player owns no lives at the beginning of the game.
b). The player will become a killer if he/she has accumulated the preset number
of lives by hitting his/her own number. Players can set the number of lives
from 3LF to 7LF.
c). A killer won’t add or lose his/her lives any longer by hitting his/her own
number.
d). A killer may lose the title of killer if other killers hit his/her number, but he/she
can become a killer again if he/she can reach the preset number of lives.
e). All of doubles and triples count as singles.
f). A player may add one life to another player by accident and a melody “Ha, Le,
Lu, Ya” sounds.
g). A killer cannot throw a dart to kill a player out of the game before the player
gets his/her first mark. The first hit of the player’s number by a killer will add
one life mark to the player.
h). The player will be out if the killer hits the number again with any residual
darts.
2. The last one to have any lives left wins.
KILLER: DBL (DOUBLE RING)
1. The “dbL” option is the traditional killer game, meaning:
a). A player must hit the “double ring” of his/her own number once, and then he/she
becomes a killer.
b). The killer also must hit the “double ring” of the opponents’ numbers to kill their
lives. The killer may kill himself/herself by accident and lose one life if a player
hits his/her own number.
c). A killer is always a killer unless he/she loses all lives and is out.
2. The last one to have any lives left wins.
Scram Cricket: 7t (7 targets)
1. The game plays the same as Scram, except that the game uses the cricket
numbers 15 to 20 and the bull’s-eye. Each must be hit three times to erase the
number.
2. Stoppers erase a specific number by hitting 1 triple, 1 double plus 1 single, or 3
singles. The outer bull is considered a single and the inner bull is a double.
Scram: 21t (21 Targets)
1. The game plays all the numbers, 1 through 20 and the bull’s-eye. The LED

one time in any order.
3. The Scorer round is finished when all numbers are erased.
4. The one with the highest score wins the game.
Over: Con, Ldr Options
1. The object of this game is for players to take turns shooting for a 3-dart score
that is equal or higher than the “Leader’s Score”.

can only be increased.
Over: Ldr (Leader)
The dartboard will show “---“ and “LEA” for the previous leader if there are not any
