What is Baseball Darts and where did it come from?

Darts has a long and rich history that can be traced back all the way to the Middle Ages. King Henry VIII of England was an avid darts player, and there are many references to the game in historical documents from that time period. However, it wasn’t until the early 1900s that darts began to really take off as a popular pastime.

That’s all well and good, so what is this baseball dart game all about? Originating in Canada in the late 1990s. It quickly gained in popularity, and today, it is enjoyed by people all over the world.

The basic premise is this: two teams compete against each other to see who can score the most points by throwing darts at a board that has been divided into innings and bases. The team with the most points at the end of the game wins!

4. Hitting the bullseye scores a run, hitting the outer ring scores two runs, and so on.

5. The first team to reach 21 runs wins the darts game!

How do I score a Baseball Darts game?

Scoring is extremely easy, making it one of the most widely adopted games on a dart board – anyone can understand, enjoy and play this game.

The goal is to score as many runs as possible by hitting the predetermined sections of the board. Hitting the bullseye scores a run, hitting the outer ring scores two runs, and so on. The first team to reach 21 runs wins the game!

It’s really that simple.

What to do if the game ends in a tie?

Wow, we have a great game on our hands, but what do we do if we have a tie after 9 innings? Pack it up and go home? Of course not, we are competitive and want a winner!

If the game ends in a tie, there are a few different options that can be employed to break the tie. The most common method is to have each team throw one dart per player, with the team that scores the most runs being declared the winner. This is the quicker way to finish off the game.

However, if you’re in it for the long haul, just like baseball, continue to play extra innings until there is a clear winner.
