KEY POINTS ON DARTS
Target: The circular target board is mounted 5 feet, 8 inches from the floor.
Distance: The oche, or distance from the front of the board to the toe line, is 7 feet, 9.25 inches.
Scoring: Points normally are subtracted from a starting total to determine the winner.
Origin: The sport dates back to medieval archers who would break off the tips from their arrows and throw them at targets mounted on pub walls. American soldiers stationed in England in World War II brought the sport to the U.S."
