Rules for Cricket
Here are the ADO American Cricket Rules:
All darts events played under the exclusive supervision of and/or sanctioned by the ADO, shall be played in accordance with established ADO Tournament Rules. In addition, the following rules shall apply for ADO Sanctioned Cricket events, effective January 1, 1984.
1. The objective shall be to 'own' or 'close' certain numbers on the board, and to achieve the highest point score. The player to do so first, shall be the winner.
2. Cricket shall be played using the numbers 20, 19, 18, 17, 16, 15 and both the inner and outer bullseyes (cork).
3. Each player shall take turns in throwing. (Three darts in succession shall constitute a 'turn' or an 'inning'.)
4. To close a number means the player must score three of a number. This can be accomplished with three singles, a single and a double, or a triple.
5. Once a player scores three of a number, it is 'owned' by that player. Once both players have scored three of a number, it is 'closed', and no further scoring can be accomplished on that number by either player.
6. To close the bullseye, the outer bull counts as a single, and the inner bull counts as a double.
7. Once a player closes an inning, he may score points on that number until the opponent also closes that inning. All numerical scores shall be added to the previous balance.
8. Numbers can be 'owned' or 'closed' in any order desired by the individual player/team. Calling your shot is not required.
9. For the purpose of 'owning' a number, the double and triple ring shall count as 2 or 3, respectively. Three marks will close a number (i.e. close an inning).
10. After a number is 'owned' by a team, the double and triple ring shall count as 2 or 3 times the numerical values, respectively.
11. Winning the game:
a) The player/team that closes all numbers first and has an equal or greater number of points than their opponent, will be declared the winner.
b). If a player/team closes all innings first, and is behind in points, he/they must continue to score on any numbers not closed by the opponent until either the point deficit is made up, or the opponent has closed all the cricket numbers.
12. It shall be the responsibility of the player to verify his score before removing his darts from the board. The score remains as written if one or more darts has been removed from the board. In accordance with the inherent "strategy" involved in the Cricket game, no alterations in score shall be allowed, after the fact.
