- Well, I have only been playing about 10 years...and I can think of one QUICK way
- to get to 9. Start with 96. Listed out 60, 36 right? Well what if YOU hit
- 60, 18...with one dart left do you go for it or throw your last dart on the
- floor as to not leave 9! There is no question...go for it. And if you are
- thinking of Shangai the 16's on 96, Dont...Low % shot.
-
- Remember...All doubles (minus x25) are the EXACT SAME SIZE...
- Object: To win by hitting ANY double to reduce your score to ZERO.
