Darts Checkout Calculator
Work out whether a darts score is checkable and the route to take.
About Darts Checkout Calculator
Checkout feasibility depends on the double-out requirement, which is why 170 is the maximum and certain scores just below it are impossible. Leaving an even number under 40 is what sets up a finish. Understanding which leaves are checkable is what separates competitive play from simply scoring high, because a high score that leaves a bogey number wastes a visit.
