How To Play Baseball Darts
- As in real baseball there are 9 innings.
- Each player throws their three darts associated with each inning.
- First throw is at number one.
- A single 1 scores 1 run, a double is two runs and therefore the treble is 3 runs.
- If you do not hit the number you score no runs.
- Continue until you have 9 3 dart throws at numbers 1 through 9.
- The Winner is the person or team to score the most runs.
What happens if there is a tie after 9 innings?
You have an extra innings aiming for 10. Highest scorers win the game.
Baseball dart score sheets
This is what a baseball darts score sheet looks like. Copy for your own game… I was playing my son Harry and after 4+ inning I was 10 v 8 ahead. I had 1 dart left in the 5th Inning.
Reversible baseball dart board rules
I have found a standard dart board that has a baseball printed on the opposite side.
The team throwing first will be the offense in that game and their objective is to get runners to base by throwing darts in the hit section.
Baseball Dartboard Hit Section
The hit section is the center of the board as well as the single, double, triple and Home Run circles. So if a dart hits one of these, the runner gets on base according to the hit. In this game, the runner is forced to move so if he’s on second and your team has two singles they can only move to 3 and not score as they would in baseball.
You can see there are strike and ball sections around where the player can get a hit. The game operates in the same way as a live baseball game, 3 strikes equals an out and 3 outs equal half an inning.
Baseball Dartboard Special Sections
There are special play sections on the board: sacrifice, stolen base, safe hit and double play.
If your dart lands in sacrifice and there is a runner on base, that is an out and the runner advances one base. If no one is on base it is an out.
If your dart hits a stolen base section, but there is a runner on base then the runner moves one base.
Obviously nothing happens if no one is on base.
If a dart hits “double play” two outs are recorded and if there are two outs already, the inning is over. You move on to the next batting team inning.
There are no limits to the number of pitches, each player continues to throw darts until they walk, get a hit or record an out.

Takeaways
Learning how to play baseball darts is good not only for the entertainment that the game gives you, but also the extra target practice you get.
Aiming at different parts of the board that you might not normally target will inevitably also help your standard dart game.
