Open your numbers
Hit any target number three times to open it. A single counts as one mark, a double as two, and a triple as three — so one triple opens a number in a single dart.

The darts game
What is Cricket in darts?
Cricket is the most popular darts game in the United States. It is played on a standard dartboard using only the numbers 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, and the bullseye.
Score points
Once you open a number, each additional hit scores points equal to its value — until your opponent closes it with three marks of their own. Higher numbers score faster, so most players start with 20.
Win the game
Close all seven targets and have more points than your opponent. If you close everything first but trail on points, keep scoring until you are ahead.

FAQ
Common questions before download
What is Cricket in darts?
Cricket is a darts game played on numbers 15 through 20 and the bullseye. Players take turns throwing three darts and try to score three marks on each number to open it. Once a number is open, hitting it scores points equal to its value until your opponent closes it with three marks of their own. The player who closes all numbers and has the higher score wins.
How do you score Cricket darts?
Each dart that hits a target number counts as one mark. A double counts as two marks and a triple counts as three. Once you have three marks on a number it is open and additional hits score points — for example, a triple 20 on an open 20 scores 60 points. The Cricket darts scoreboard tracks marks and points for both players.
Can I practice Cricket darts alone?
Yes. Cricket Trainer is built for solo darts practice. Set up a human vs bot match and play against one of 30 AI difficulty levels any time, with no opponent needed.
What does MPR mean in Cricket darts?
MPR stands for marks per round — the average number of marks you score each three-dart turn. A higher MPR means more consistent accuracy on target numbers. Cricket Trainer tracks your MPR across every game so you can see real improvement over time.
What is overkill in Cricket darts?
Overkill is a rule variation where points scored on an open number can exceed the opponent's total, creating a point deficit the opponent must overcome. Cricket Trainer supports overkill as an optional setting you can toggle on or off before each match.
Is this the darts game or the bat-and-ball sport?
This is Cricket the darts game, not the bat-and-ball sport. Cricket Trainer is for darts players practicing on a dartboard.
