We will be covering the most common set up that most leagues use.
Weve provided this information within the article and in a hand image below.
This distance is 5 feet, 8 inches or 68 inches up.
(1.73 meters) Getting the dartboard hung on the wall is merely the first step.
This is the line that you must be behind to make a legal throw.
The distance here needs to be 7 feet, 9 14 inches or 93.25 inches (2.37 meters).
This will help to ensure that you have everything else measured correctly.
This distance should come out to be 9 feet 7 3/8 inches, or (2.93 meters).
Note, the graphic below shows 9 feet 7 1/2 inches.
This is because I found it easier measuring 7 1/2 inches rather 7 3/8s.
The Dart Board police will not arrest you if youre 1/8 of an inch out.
The simple answer is that in most cases everyone throws from the same line.
