Handicaps
Have you ever played darts with a friend who was just not as good of a player as you are? Or vise versa - you played darts with someone who kicked your butt and you wished he had given you a handicap? I thought it might be helpful to post a little bit of information on how to handle handicapping. It can be a little complicated so I recommend being educated about it before starting a game with someone who does not match your skill level.
Handicapping a 2-Player 301 Game
For example, if one player's average is 18 and the other player has a 14-point average then the handicap is determined using the following:
The handicap for this player is 80 points. These points are then subtracted from 301, and the handicapped player would start the game with 221 points instead of the standard 301 points.
Handicapping a Team Game of 501Add each player's point per dart average
For example, if one team has a 28-point per dart average and the other team has a 22-point per dart average is calculated as follows:
The handicapped team then starts the game at 381 points instead of 501.

On April 16, 2009 James J. said... Thanks for posting this info. Handicapping is something that I don't know much about but I probably should be using it when I play since I am new. It helps to not get completely beat up when playing darts against someone that is much much better than I am. Now I know how to do it and will use it the next time I play! |
