Bob's 27

Bob's 27 was devised by coach Bob Anderson as a way to practise every double under a bit of pressure. You start with 27 points and throw three darts at each double from 1 to 20, then the bull.

How to play

  1. Start on 27 points.
  2. Throw three darts at Double 1. Each hit adds the double's value (2 points per hit on D1).
  3. If none of your three darts hit, subtract the double's value instead.
  4. Move on to Double 2, Double 3 and so on up to Double 20, then the bull.
  5. If your score falls to zero or below, the game is over. Get round with the highest score you can. The maximum is 1,437.

Bob's 27 is tough on the low doubles, because they are worth so little. Getting past D10 at all is a decent start. Finishing the game with any score is good club standard.
