How to Play Bob’s 27 Darts
To play Bob’s 27 darts, each player starts with a score of 27 points and shoots for doubles in order, starting at 1 and ending at the bull. There are 21 rounds in total, with each round consisting of three darts.
When shooting, only the doubles count. If you hit the double for that round, the total of its points is added to your score. If you miss, the points are deducted from your score. And if your score reaches zero, your game is over.
Scoring Bob’s 27 Darts
There are two ways to score Bob’s 27 darts. If you’re just playing for general practice, you can keep a running total in your head. For example, if you get 6 points in the first round, your score is 33. You just need to remember that for the next round and add your scored points up before removing your darts from the board.
If you’re working hard to improve your game, we suggest chalking each round individually. Mark the numbers 1 to 20 and B down the left side of the board, then make two columns for each player. One column is for the points scored that round, and the other column is to keep a running total.
Why mark it down if you can score it in your head? To look for weaknesses in your game. After you play a few rounds, you may notice that you’re always missing certain doubles. By keeping track of your scores, you can identify your weak spots and adjust your training accordingly.

One more thing to keep in mind is that your score should always be odd. If you’re even, you’ve made a mistake.
