Why is bullseye not the highest score in darts?

It is important for newcomers of the game to know that the bullseye is not the spot worth the highest point value on the board. Each number on the dartboard has a doubles and triples segment. So if you hit a triple 20 with each dart, your points that turn will be 180, a full 30 points more than if you hit 3 bullseyes.

What is a treble 20 in darts?

The treble-20 is the most valuable target on the dartboard, worth 60 points. Therefore, when beginning a leg from 501, players aim at the treble-20 for maximum scoring potential. As the bullseye is worth “only” 50 points, it’s the fifth-highest scoring target on the board, after trebles 20, 19, 18, and 17.

Why do dart players go for 20?

It could be blocking the treble 20 bed, or the dart could be vulnerable to allowing darts to bounce out. Players also like to build up a rhythm. If the first dart is miles away from treble 20, they have no marker, so they may want to go to 19s to try their luck.
