Topic: Nine dart finish


  
  Nine Dart 501 Finishes
I was drinking down the club the other night and talking darts, when the subject of the magical nine dart 501 came up.
'Ten Dart Willmott' said that he felt that, when he missed Bullseye when on a 161 finish, after starting a double start match with 160, followed by a score of 180, it was a bigger disappointment than when he registered a ten dart game.
Anyway, we both wondered how many nine dart 501 permutations there were, without counting the different ways which you could get the scores and finishes.

 Nine Dart Finish   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
Although other methods are possible, the traditional way is to score maximum 180 tallies with each of the first two sets of three darts (a treble 20 per dart) thereby leaving a score of 141.
