. Averages are the most cited statistics in matches as they give a rough estimate of a player's form. The longer a match lasts, the harder it is to maintain a high average, as low-scoring legs or missed darts when aiming for a double bring the average down. While there have been match averages of over 130 in floor tournaments, the world record only lists televised matches, which are easy to verify.


Definition

To compute the average score of a dart the total amount of points scored is divided by the number of darts thrown. This is sometimes used and called the one-dart average. The three-dart average then is just that number multiplied by three. When a Player Busts on the First Dart of a Throw: The bust counts as a complete throw (i.e., 3 darts) even though only one dart is physically thrown. The remaining two darts in that turn are considered "used" but not scored because the score for the turn is zero. When a Player Wins the Leg on the First Dart of a Throw: If the winning dart is the first dart of a turn, only that dart is counted as thrown for that throw. The other two darts are not counted since they were not thrown.
