Select a “no thoroughfare”, safe & secure area.
A wooden and/or carpeted floor is recommended
A rubber mat to catch falling darts is recommended
Erect a scoreboard right next to the dartboard where it can be easily seen by the player but not obstruct play.
Allow for free space to accommodate players waiting their turn to throw and spectators.
Erect adequate lighting over the dartboard (see Rules of the Game).
The dart board is hung so that the bullseye is 1.73 m from the floor, and the oche or throwing line (the player stands BEHIND the oche) is 2.37 m from the face of the board. The plumb line distance from the face of the dart board is 2,93m
A raised throw-line (oche) is advised. Failing that, use tape to mark the oche line. Players stand BEHIND the oche.
The oche must be perpendicular and centered to the face of the board
