English-Cricket (Bulls vs points.)

Good for two players or two teams. Uncommon in this area.

Essentially, the game is to see how many points team 1 can score in the time that team 2 takes to hit 9 bulls. Then you reverse it, and see how many points team 2 can score while team 1 hits 9 bulls. The team scoring the most points wins. The team throwing at the bulls throws first in each round. Points for the pointing-team are added up just like in an 01 game, except that they add to your score (starting at 0) instead of subtracting.

Like most dart games, you throw for "closest to bull" to determine who starts. The winner of the bull can choose to start (in which case that player/team will throw to try and hit bulls) or to let the other team start. In either case, the team which starts does so by throwing bulls, and the team which follows scores as many points as possible. Once the starting team has hit 9 bulls, the other teams score is recorded, and you play again, with the teams reversed.
