Fifty-One

The goal of this routine is to hit as many of each triple as you can resulting in the highest score possible (scores can, and often end up negative).

Skills: Triples

Targets

Triple 1 - Triple 20

Instructions

You start with 51 points. Each turn up you throw all three darts trying to hit your target triple. Your first turn is at Triple 1, followed by another turn at Triple 2, etc. Targets must be taken in sequential order 1 - 20. Triples hit that are not your target count as a miss.

Each time you hit a triple, it's value is added to your total score. If you miss the triple with all three darts the value of the triple is subtracted from the total score.

Example: You are on 51 points, and have just thrown three darts at Triple 1. If you hit two Triple 1's your score is increased by 6 (the value of the triple per dart that hit it) to 57. If you missed Triple 1, then your score is reduced by 3 (the value of the triple) to 48. Your next turn up you are throwing at Triple 2. Assuming you start this turn with 57, you hit 3 Triple 2's your score is increased by 18 (the value of the triple per dart that hit it) to 75. If you miss Triple 2 then your score is reduced by 6 (the value of the triple) to 51.
