GARAGE DARTS | WHAT WE'RE ALL ABOUT Garage darts has one goal: To introduce darts to the masses! It seems like darts, especially in America, is often misunderstood and relatively obscure. Our hope is to change that, with videos that cover all aspects of the game. Once you give this game a try, I think you will agree, it quickly becomes an addiction! (but a good one!)
@@amookehinde99 that is up to the tournament or league you are playing. Usually best of 3 at league level. Many tournaments are doing best of 5, with it being best of 7 or 9 if you make it to semis or finals. I play one league that is best of 15 legs and another that plays all 15 legs. So it definitely varies!!! If u are just starting out, try a best of 3 format 😉
@@nominox1158 my point exactly!! Getting frustrated will only lead to bad habits, that won't help improve your throw in the long run! Thanks for the comment!!
That was great I never heard of this what does a d o stand for? Just curious.thanks again. by the way, how long have you been playing for? I'm pretty new and I like the game a lot and it's fun to learn stuff from people with experience such as yourself thank you......I'm looking forward to getting more videos from you.
@@alexanderpatrick4866 ADO stands for American Darts Organization. The largest and longest running Darts org in the U.S. you can visit their website at adodarts.com. I've been playing darts for 25 years😁
Fundamentals is always the key. I'm relatively new to the game and had to take a pause because of an injury. It's always important to stick with the fundamentals and that's what I plan on doing thank you so much I'm subscribing and look forward to more videos from you.
Starting at target #20 is a strategy for those that can hit the intended target. For the basic beginners that don't want to add any math to it: you can eliminate the point system and just play cricket to close out the numbers 20 thru 15. Another basic beginner strategy is to aim for the bullseye and collect any close outs in your attempts to the bullseye. It also helps your aim and focus on a singular point. Always a good idea to use good darts and stick to what works for you. Some cheap darts are so bad that they mess up your ability to be consistent with each throw. With all that said... there is no need to buy expensive products just to play a game of darts for fun.
You would have to gain points on numbers your opponent hasnt closed yet. If you get more points than your opponent (before they close all the numbers) then you win. The winner has to have the point lead, as well as all numbers closed. Hope that clears up any confusion. Thanks for your question!
Do you mean - if you close each number, can you lose on points? Yes. So if you had all numbers closed, but were down on points, then your opponent would just need to close everything to win. However, you could score points on numbers they don't have closed, to get the points you need to have the higher total. I hope this makes sense!!
Cricket hasn't really caught on here in the UK but I've just started getting into it now. It makes a change from the standard 501 darts. Thanks this was a great video! Greetings from North Wales, UK 👍🙂
Probably the very best guide out there to understand cricket. But just to clarify, say Phil Taylor plays cricket and scores T20, T19, T18 on his first 3 throws... does that lock out the opponent from scoring on those numbers forcing them to throw at 17 or 16? And if they do that, Phil would simply have a run at 20s for a long as he wants until his opponent tries to close it out?
Yes, the opponent would have to get as many 17s as possible and hope Phil has a miss here or there that he can capitalize on and get back into the game. Whether its cricket or 01, there is not much you can do if your opponent throws perfect darts!! Right? Thanks for the comment, and thank you for the thumbs up! 😁
This depends on what your opponent has. If your opponent hasn’t closed the 20's yet, then the double would count as 2 20's - one for the circle and 20 points for the second. However, if your opponent has 3 20's already, then only one would count, to close the number. Now, any dart that hits a 20 for the remainder of this game does not count for either player. I think I will do another cricket video, to explain this scenerio better, since many people have similar confusion! Thanks for the question!
Thanks. I obviously am a much better dart player than animator! Lol! I do really enjoy the process of animation. Fun outlet for me! I appreciate your offer tho. ❤
@@GarageDarts Animation is a lot of fun. I really like the look and style of your videos. It works perfectly. Also your delivery and approach to teaching makes it very easy to learn.
Lol. You know there is an app that adds it all for you, if you're interested. It's called dartconnect. Great user friendly app. Might be worth checking out!
Waterfall: Every player starts the game by hitting any triple. Once a triple is hit, the player can move on to 20's. Until three 20's are hit, no other numbers count, this is a must go in order game. When the player has at least 3 20's, they move on to 19. If you hit a triple or double of the number you are trying to close, and that results in having more than 3 marks, the additional marks "waterfall" down to the next number. Example: Starting with 2 20's, then hitting a triple 20, would close your 20, and give you two marks on the 19. Play in this fashion until you have 3 marks through the bullseye, and then finish the game by hitting any double. A double bull when you already have 2 bulls ends the game. The "extra" bull waterfalls down and counts as your double. The order of targets goes: Any triple once, then three each of 20-19-18-17-16-15-Bull, and then any double once. Any additional hits after having at least 3 marks of a number do not count towards the next target. Easier mode: Remove the triple and double requirements. Harder mode: Players are required to call specific triple and double targets. Fast scoring method: Since target areas must be played in order, you only need to chalk where you ended up every round. Example: Your first round you hit a triple section, a single 20, and finish with a triple 20; Instead of writing a slash on your triple, a circle for 20's, and a slash on 19, you can just write the slash on 19. Cork for playing order, first player to complete hitting the 23 marks wins. The rest of layers may continue to play for 2nd place, 3rd place, etc if you would like.
You are a great Dart thrower. I envy you because I now realize just how difficult and intense this game is. I've been getting my but butt kicked by experienced players and it's humiliating. I won't give up, I'll practice until I can beat them
Appreciate the nod! It is a tough game, and believe me, I spent many years getting my butt kicked too!!!! But I had the same attitude as you- I kept practicing until I could beat them!! Great attitude to have! Keep it up!! 😁 and I will have a practice routine video coming soon!! Thanks for the comment!!!
Why did Jen go first if Will actually hit the bulls and was closer to the center??!! So to determine who starts you need to get closest to the center without being in the bulls?
Jens dart has the red flight and it is in the center - the red bull. Wills dart was in the green or outer bull, so jen goes first. A red bull beats a green bull. If they were both outside the bull, then the dart closest to the bull would go first
Funny you should ask.. my next video is about beginner practice routines! I dont use any apps for practice tho. Just getting back to basics will get you a long way!
@@GarageDarts cool. I was asking like a place to log progression or lack thereof lol or training routines but you may make a training routine video, nice!
Excellent video. I understood it first time through. Brilliant way of explaining everything. Watched a different video and was lost 😅. I am looking forward to playing it now. Thank you 🙏
