A nine dart finish is the ultimate checkout in the game of darts, constituting a perfect game. It is notoriously difficult to achieve, even by the game's top professionals.
A single game (known as a leg) of darts requires a player to score 501 points. As a result of the combinations of scoring it means that nine throws is the minimum necessary.
This outshot is traditionally performed in one of three ways: Treble 20 (60), treble 19 (57) and double 12 (24) (the most common) Treble 18 (54), treble 17 (51) and double 18 (36)
Treble 20 (60), treble 15 (45) and double 18 (36) (All games of darts have to end with a double or the bullseye)
There are two ways to perform the 141 outshot with a bullseye finish: Treble 17 (51), double 20 (40), and bullseye (50)
Treble 19 (57), double 17 (34), and bullseye (50)
Also possible are: Treble 20 (60), treble 17 (51) and double 15 (30)
Treble 19 (57), treble 18 (54) and double 15 (30)
Treble 19 (57), treble 16 (48) and double 18 (36)
