Gameplay
Cricket is played between 2, 3 or 4 players or teams of players. The goal of cricket is to be the first player to close all the cricket numbers and have a higher or even point total.
Cricket Numbers
Cricket uses the numbers 15 through 20 (or sometimes 10 through 20) and the bull's-eye. To close a number, it must have been scored 3 times in any fashion, on one or more turns. Hitting the treble will close a number in one throw; a single and the double will close it in two throws or three singles will close it in three throws. Numbers do not have to be closed in any particular order and several numbers can be hit in the same turn. A scoreboard is used to keep track of the hits on all the numbers. Hitting a number once is shown by placing a slash (/) beside the number, second hit by an X, and the third by a circle O.
Scoring
Once a player has closed a number, any additional hits on that number will add to that player's score. Once a number has been closed by all players, it cannot be used to score points for the rest of the . Each number scores its face value. The outer ring of the bullseye scores 25 and the central section scores 50. The double ring scores double the number's value and the treble (inner) ring scores triple the number's value. Alternatively, cutthroat-style scoring can be used, in which case points are undesirable; hitting a number that is already closed results in points being given to any other players who do not have that number closed.
Playing
To start the , each player or one player from each team throws one dart at the Bull's Eye. The closest to the center plays first. In the event of a tie, another dart is thrown until there is an obvious winner. During a player's turn, the player throws three darts. After the last dart, the player's score is totaled. Any number that has not been scored three times is considered to be open.

The game is played using the numbers 15 - 20 and the bullseye. The first player to score 3 in any number has opened that number for scoring. The second player to hit 3 of the same number closes that number. (The misinterpretation of "closing a number" is common among all dart communities).Once a player has covered all the numbers and has the most points he or she is the winner.
