Anyone have any good home game tournament structures to keep the games under 3 hrs?

Hi,

The Dart Scoring -- Points and Current Score

Each dart is scored by the number where it lands on the target with the thin inner ring being worth 3 times the number indicated and the thin outer ring worth 2 times the number indicated while the two large sections score exactly the number indicated. Thus, the highest attainable score with three darts is 180 by hitting three tripple 20.

Hitting the center ( the smallest black circle) gives 50 points, while hitting the small red circular area around the center gives 25 points.


If, for example, at the end of the game when all you have left is 5 points and you hit a 20, then this throw does not count. You will have to keep throwing until you get 5 or fewer points.

The Current Score IS DIFFERENT from points:

Current Score = (501 - points) * 2 - 5 * dartsUsed

In the above formula:

points are the final points on the blackboard (the best number is ZERO -- completed game)


dartsUsed -- the number of darts used in game

Time Bonus

If points left <= 20, Time Bonus equals the number of seconds left


If points left <= 100, Time Bonus equals the number of seconds left / 2

And if you are having a problem about Dart tricks and How to recording top scores, Gamecolony can help you find what you need.

Thanks

We play a 9-10 man game every Thurs night..It's a ten dollar game.. that get you 80 chips..we start with 2-4 blinds..we also have a (one) ten dollar buy-in option if you go out early...but you can only buy-in once around the table up to the dealer...after that no buy-in..we play 3rd place gets his 10 dollars back and the remaining money in the put in split around 70-30 depending on the total buy-ins....sometimes it's only one guy for an extra 10 in the pot or if 3 guys pay an extra 30..so if 3 guys buy-in before the it gets back to the dealer that makes it 10 guys x 10.00=100.00 plus 30 for buy-ins=130.00 in the pot...3rd gets his 10..00 back 10.00..2nd get 35.00 and winner gets 85.00...when a player gets donked out the next player gets the (dice) to indicate the blinds are going up when he gets the deal the next time..(so there is no time limit when the blinds go up) this makes it a lot faster game..we usually play about 4 games in a 3hr -3 1/2hr span...
