The game almost exactly follows the rules of the classic 501 darts game.

Standard dartboard. A nine-dart finish, also known as a nine-darter, is a perfect leg or single game in the sport of darts.The object of the game is to score a set number of points, most commonly 501; in order to win, a player must reach the target total exactly and hit a double scoring area with their last dart.
