- The kicking team can throw up to 3 darts.

- - (e.g., the kicking team throws a triple 20 on their first throw, amounting to 60 yards, and elects to stop there to prevent a potential touchback or penalty).

If the punting team bounces out a dart, it is considered a blocked punt / fumble / turnover, and the receiving team takes possession at the spot of the punt. (plus a return yards dart throw)
If the receiving team bounces out their single return yard dart, it is considered a muffed punt / fumble / turnover, and the kicking team takes possession at the spot of the return.
3. OFFENSE
The offensive team starts at the yard line determined by the kickoff.
The offensive team then has up to 4 throws (equivalent to 4 downs) to achieve a new set of downs (aka get a 1st down).
This is accomplished by hitting the next 10 increment on the board from where the line of scrimmage is
(e.g., if the offense team is starting from their own 30 yard line, they would be aiming for the 4 on the dartboard.
Hitting a single 4 would achieve a new set of downs, and the offensive team would then attempt to reach the 50 yard line by hitting the 5 on the dartboard).

If the offensive team hits a double or triple on the target yard line, this is equivalent to a 20 or 30 yard gain
(e.g., if the offensive team is on their 30 (thus aiming for the 4 on the dartboard to reach the 40 yard line) and hits a triple 4, it is a 30 yard gain,
resulting in a 1st down starting at the opponents 40 yard line).
Turnovers(e.g., if the offensive team is on their 30 (thus aiming for the 4 on the dartboard to reach the 40 yard line) and hits a triple 4, it is a 30 yard gain,
resulting in a 1st down starting at the opponents 40 yard line).
If the offensive team fails to convert on 4th down, it is a turnover on downs, and the opposing team takes possession at the line of scrimmage.
Any bounce out throw is a turnover from the line of scrimage. The defense can opt to throw a single return yards dart or simply start at the point of the turnover.
If the receiving team bounces out their single return yard dart, it is considered a muffed punt / fumble / turnover, and the kicking team takes possession at the spot of the return.

4. DEFENSEThe offensive team throws a dart that misses any point value on the board, but does still stick to the board, this triggers a potential sack play
The defensive team then has one opportunity to throw a dart at the line of scrimmage minus 10 yards (e.g., if the offensive team is on the 50, the defensive team would aim for the 4).
If successful, the defensive team records a sack, and the offensive team loses 10 yards.
If the defensive team misses the target yard line, the offensive team retains possession at the line of scrimmage, and it is simply considered an incomplete pass.
PenalitiesIf the defensive team bounces out their sack dart, it is considered a roughing the passer penalty, and the offensive team gains 10 yards.

5. SCORINGField Goals- Once the offensive team has reached the 30 yard line, they are on in field goal range, and can elect to kick a field goal on any down there after.
- The team must declare they are kicking a field goal if they decide to do so. To succeed, the player must hit a single, double, or triple 3 (all are worth a single field goal).
TouchdownsOnce the offensive team is in field goal range, they can also score a touchdown by hitting:
- a triple 7 if they are on their opponents 30 yard line,
- a double (or triple) 7 if they are on their opponents 20 yard line, or
- a single (or double or triple) 7 if they are on their opponents 10 yard line.
Extra Point / 2 Point Conversion- Extra points are automatic.
- - If the offsensive team so chooses, they can forego the automatic extra point and attempt a 2 point conversion by hitting the 2 on the dartboard.
Special RulesRegardless of their field position, the offensive team can score a touchdown from any part of the field on any down by hitting a double bullseye.
They can also achieve a first down by hitting a single bullseye (unless they are on their opponent's 10 or less, in which case a single bullseye would be a touchdown).
