The scoreboard for darts night

Throw at your own board and type the visit. Throwline keeps the score for up to four players, catches the busts, and lights up the checkout route the moment someone is on a finish.

Throwline's scoreboard during a two-player 501 match: one player on a finish with the checkout route lit up under the score, the quick scores and the keypad below

Scoring

Type the visit. Throwline does the sums.

Everyone throws at the board on your wall. After each visit, the thrower types the total or taps a quick score, and the board moves on to the next player.

  • Type the visit, or tap it

    Three darts, one total on the keypad. The visits that come up all night are a single tap:

    • 26
    • 41
    • 45
    • 60
    • 81
    • 85
    • 100
    • 140
    • 180
  • 301, 501 or 701

    Double out or straight out. One leg, or first to 2, 3, 4, 5 or 7 legs. Up to four players, or one player against the practice bot.

  • Busts and impossible totals caught

    Past zero, or 1 left on double out, is a bust: the visit scores nothing. A total no three darts can make, such as 179, is refused.

  • The checkout route lights up

    On a finish, the score turns amber and the route appears under it: for 121, T20T15D8.

  • GAME SHOT and the 180 call

    The winning visit puts GAME SHOT across the board, and a maximum gets its 180 call on screen.

  • Undo, pause, pick up later

    Undo a wrong entry. Pause a match and come back to it later: it survives closing the app.

  • Chalked up, visit by visit

    Each leg keeps every visit and the score left after it, like the chalkboard by the oche.

  • A wall scoreboard on iPad

    On iPad the scoreboard fills the screen, big enough to read from the throwing line.

Stats

Every player, every match, on the record

Stats are kept per player, by name, so each player's numbers follow them from one darts night to the next.

  • 3-dart averagebusts count as three darts for nothing
  • First-9 averagethe first three visits of every leg
  • Checkout ratelegs won per visit on a finish
  • Highest finishthe biggest checkout
  • Best legthe fewest darts to win a leg
  • 100+ · 140+ · 180the big visits, counted

Every match is saved as a scoresheet: each leg, visit by visit, with the score left after each one. Free shows each match's stats and your last three matches; Throwline Pro keeps your stats across every match, with your average trend match by match.

FAQ

Before the first leg

Accounts, offline play, the rules and the bot. Every route, every bogey number: the darts checkout chart.

Do I need an account?

No. There is no sign-up and no login. Open the app, type the players' names and play. There are no ads.

Does it work offline?

Yes. Scoring, checkout routes, the chart, stats, the trainer and the bot all run on your iPhone or iPad, so a dead signal in the pub changes nothing. Buying or restoring Throwline Pro needs a connection.

Can four people play on one phone?

Yes. Up to four players share one iPhone or iPad and take their visits in turn; after each visit the thrower types the total. The first throw rotates from leg to leg. On iPad the scoreboard is big enough to prop up by the board.

What is double out?

You have to finish on exactly zero, and the last dart has to be a double: the thin outer ring, worth twice the number, or the bull, which counts as double 25. Going past zero, leaving 1, or reaching zero without a double is a bust, and the visit scores nothing. Throwline plays double out by default; switch to straight out and any dart can finish. The checkout chart has a route for every finish.

What is a bogey number?

A score of 170 or less that three darts cannot finish on a double. There are seven: 159, 162, 163, 165, 166, 168 and 169. On one of those, score with the visit and leave yourself a finish for the next. Throwline's chart marks them, and the scoreboard shows no route. Why they exist: the bogey numbers explained.

How does the practice bot work?

It is part of Throwline Pro. Pick a level from 1 to 10: level 1 throws about a 25 three-dart average, level 10 about 95. It throws a whole visit at a time, the way a player types a total, and the higher the level, the more often it takes out a finish. Its visits go on the scoreboard like anyone else's.

How do I restore a purchase?

Open Settings in Throwline and tap Restore purchase (it is also on the Throwline Pro screen). Use the same Apple ID you bought with. Lifetime comes back for good; the yearly plan comes back while it is active.
