Product Information

We are introducing wild cards to the darts league, this is to allow you to still play a match should you be short of players, the wild cards are going to be restricted to 2 per half of the season. The use of the wild cards is detailed below; Sometimes a player is allowed to throw their darts from a point on either side of the oche line. However, the same rules apply. Therefore, the player’s toes may not step beyond an imaginary line parallel to the raised Oche. Can You Lean Over The Line In Darts? The format will be 6 warm up darts followed by 9 scoring darts, the one with the highest score will win, in the event of a draw a further 3 darts will be thrown by the drawing players The distance of the oche is usually between 7’6″ and 8′ away from the bullseye of the dartboard. On steel-tipped dartboards, they are typically 7′ 9 1/4″ away and on soft tip dartboards, 8‘.

Failing to follow this rule results in disqualification the same way it would if the player was throwing from behind the main portion of the line. How to Pronounce ‘Oche’ The oche is marked at 7 ft 9 1⁄4 inches away from the dartboard for steel tip darts when measured along the floor. For soft tip darts, the distance is 8 feet. Mark the oche permanently: Consider using a piece of tape, a raised oche, or an oche mat to permanently mark the oche. This will save you from having to re-measure before each game.The throwline is the line from which a player must throw his or her darts to have their move be considered valid and count toward their score. I’m sure there are some of you that have watched darts before and listened quite perplexed as a commentator mentions the term “oche”. While modern darts tend to use the term throw line or toe line, the oche was the traditional term used to define the throw line in darts.

Measure the diagonal distance: Using a tape measure or a piece of string, measure a diagonal line from the bullseye to the floor. The correct diagonal distance for steel-tip darts is 9 feet 7 3/8 inches (293 cm), and for soft-tip darts, it’s 9 feet 9 inches (297 cm). Sometimes a diagonal distance is measured from the bullseye to the oche as a reference. Rules Of The Oche The oche’s precise measurement is essential as it maintains a fair playfield for all participants, ensuring each throw’s consistency and accuracy. It is standardized by the World Darts Federation (WDF) and Professional Darts Corporation (PDC), the game’s main regulatory bodies. How to Measure the Oche for Darts: A Step-by-Step Guide During a shot, the dart player’s feet cannot step on any section of the raised oche. A valid position for a dart throw is one in which a player’s feet are positioned behind the raised edge of the oche. Any throw taken outside of this context will not count towards the total tally.
