What is tic tac toe darts?
This is the dart equivalent of the basic game you have known and loved since you were little.
Begin by marking the scoreboard with three tic-tac-toe grids something like this
As usual, nearest the bull goes first and is able to pick X’s or O’s.
In this case Harry beat me so he chose X’s and threw first.
To get the numbers to correspond with a tic tac toe board we use the numbers shown here
You will see that they relate to 3 numbers spaced on the top of the board
12, 20 and 18
3 spaced along the middle of the board 11, bullseye and 6
And 3 space evenly on the lower half of the dartboard – 7, 3 and 2.
you don’t actually have to write the numbers on your scoreboard when you’re playing this is just for reference
So in the game you are aiming for the 9 numbers related to a section of the tic tac toe board. If you hit any number 3 times you get to put a 0 or a X in that space on the tic tac toe board.
So hitting treble 12 and you get to put your mark in the tic tac toe segment
Continue to throw 3 darts each and every time someone scores 3 hits in the same number they get to take that section on the tic tac toe board.
