How To Hang A Dart Board

In the standard game, the dart board is hung so that the bullseye is 5 ft 8 in (1.73m) from the floor, eye-level for a six foot person. The oche - the line behind which the throwing player must stand - is generally located 2.37m (7'9.25") from the face of the dartboard measured horizontally. This is the recognized world standard as set by the World Darts Federation and is played as such in most areas. Due to measurement error this may be incorrect in some places (such as measuring from the wall, rather than using a plumb line to measure from the board face).
