Dart Board Scoreboard – Cricket Scores Explained

The objective of Cricket darts is to hit the numbers 15-20 and the bullseye three times each to “close out” the number. Here’s how it is typically displayed on your automatic scoreboard LED display:

The first hit on one of your numbers appears as a “slash” on your scoreboard display. The second hit on the number appears as an “X”, and the third hit will appear as a circle around the X to signify that number is now closed.

If one player closes a number, but their opponent does not, then the player who has the number closed can continue scoring on that number until both players have closed the number.

The bullseye is displayed in a similar fashion. The outer ring of the bullseye counts as one hit, and the inner ring can be hit twice, which closes the bullseye to further scoring after both opponents close the bullseye.
