Board Setup Choosing A Location:
The proper place to hang a dart board can be a difficult choice: Hanging The Board & Marking The Throw Line: The board needs to be hung with the CENTER OF THE BULLSEYE exactly 5 foot 8 inches (68 inches / 172.72cm) in height from the base of the floor at the Throw Line. The Throw Line (also known as the oche, toe-line or hockey) should be about 2 feet / 600mm wide. It may be made of tape, a store bought throw-line sticker, a piece of wood or metal. It should be placed exactly 7 foot 9 ¼ inches (93 ¼ inches / 236.85cm) from the FACE of the board.
To be sure that your measurements are correct, first make sure that your floor is level and not on a slope. Then, measure the height of the Bull, and fix your dart board in place. After this, measure FROM the Bullseye TO the Throw Line with a distance of 9 foot 7 inches (115 inches / 2931mm). Then fix your Throw Line to the floor. If you are using tape or a sticker for your Line, make sure that the back edge of the tape is your line. (Imagine that the tape is a block of wood that you cannot stand over.) Taking all this into consideration, you might want to think about purchasing a "dart mat". This is a roll out rubber mat that serves several functions. It protects the floor from wear & tear and marks the proper distance to the throw line. (Just make sure that the front edge of the mat is parallel with the front edge of the Dart Board.) Proper lighting of the dart board is very critical. It is important (for both the Players & Checker) to be able to tell exactly where the dart landed without moving from their position. The ideal lighting can be obtained from many light sources. Here are 2 ideas:
The main goal is to light the area as reasonably bright as possible, to create as little shadow as possible.
