BEN’s definitive guide to toeing the oche, and joining the game. Don’t even know what an “oche” is, you say? Hmmm... Then, my friend, this will be your place on the Web very soon! From equipment basics to game rules, darts terminology and more, BEN will bring you the answers. Yep, all of ‘em. Stay tuned!

PS: The “oche” is the toe line (or the line you stand behind) when you throw your darts, and it’s pronounced “ockey” --you know, like “ockey-dokey”. Now don’t you feel better already?

PSS: Need to hang your brand spanking new dart board, and just can’t wait? Can’t say that we blame you. So here’s the info ya need:

Height:
5’ 8” from floor to center of the bull’s eye
Throwing Line:
7’ 9-1/4” from the board to the throw line (or 9’ 7-3/8” when measured diagonally from the bull’s eye to the throw line)
Thowing Lane:
Preferably 2’ open on both sides of the board (Darts are sharp!)
Mounting:
The board should be mounted flush to the wall --not leaning-- with #20 directly at the top.
