3-dart average
The headline number in darts. It is your total score divided by darts thrown, multiplied by three. For example, 205 points from 9 darts is a 3-dart average of 68.33. The average calculator does the sum for you and shows how many darts a leg of 501 takes at each average.
In 501 your average falls as you approach a finish, because you stop aiming at treble 20. That is why players also quote a first-9 average: the average of the first three turns of each leg, which measures pure scoring.
180s and highest turn
A 180 is the maximum score in one turn: three treble 20s. A count of 180s is satisfying but noisy. Your number of 100-plus turns (“tons”) is often a better sign of improving scoring, because they happen far more often.
Checkout percentage
Checkout percentage is how many of your darts at a finishing double actually finish the leg. A player who takes 10 darts at doubles and wins once has a 10% checkout rate. It is the clearest sign of whether your doubles are costing you games. DartScore.uk doesn't calculate it yet, so tally it on paper during practice. Bob's 27 is a good proxy.
Win rate
Win rate depends on who you play, so treat it with care. It is most useful against the same opponents over time.
How to use your numbers
- Look at trends, not single games. One bad night means nothing. Compare your averages month to month.
- Compare like with like. Statistics are recorded per game mode, so your 501 average isn't mixed up with Cricket.
- Turn weaknesses into practice. A good average but a poor win rate usually means your finishing needs work. A low average means scoring practice, such as High Score.

Frequently asked questions
What is a good 3-dart average?
As a rough guide, casual players often average 30 to 50, regular league players 50 to 80, and top professionals 90 to 100 or more. Your own trend over time matters more than any benchmark.
What counts as a 180?
Three darts in treble 20 in a single turn, totalling 180 points: the highest score possible with three darts.
What is checkout percentage?
The share of darts thrown at a finishing double that actually win the leg. Ten darts at doubles with one success is 10%.
