How a darts average is calculated
The usual three-dart average is total points scored divided by darts thrown, multiplied by three. That puts legs of different lengths on the same scale.
Count the checkout darts
For a completed leg, all darts used—including doubles missed or hit—belong in the dart count.
Let the scorer do it
Darts Match Centre calculates match, practice and first-nine averages from the visits you enter.
Average is useful, but it is not the whole game
Two players can have the same average and very different results if one converts doubles better. Use average alongside first-nine scoring, checkout percentage, high finishes and doubles performance.

Frequently asked questions
How is a three-dart average calculated?
Divide the points scored by the number of darts thrown, then multiply by three.
Do missed doubles count in a darts average?
Yes. Darts thrown at doubles are still darts thrown, so they remain part of the dart count for a completed leg.
Is first-nine average the same as match average?
No. First-nine average only measures the opening nine darts, while match average includes the full scoring and finishing phases.
