What is a checkout in darts?

A checkout is the final visit of a leg: the darts that take your remaining score to exactly zero, with the last dart on a double (or the bullseye) in double-out games.

Type the score you have left and get the standard double-out finish, plus backups. The full checkout chart from 170 down to 2 is below.

How to read a checkout

T = treble (triple), D = double, S = single, Bull = the 50 bullseye (counts as a double), 25 = the outer bull. In double-out games the last dart must hit a double or the bullseye and bring you to exactly zero.

The routes favour what most players practise: treble 20 and 19 for setup darts, a single instead of a treble whenever a single is enough, and the friendly doubles — D16, D20, D8 — that leave another double when a dart drops into the single.

Bogey numbers

159, 162, 163, 165, 166, 168, 169 can't be checked out with three darts. Everything else from 170 down to 2 can — 170 is the highest, the “Big Fish”.
