A new addition to the Darts501.com site a ‘MS Excel’ spreadsheet dart scorer and checkout indicator.
There are a number of very good computer programs that allow you to play against the computer, keep tack of averages and prompt your out shots etc but how many are FREE!
I was sent an e-mail from Matt Mellor and he had a basic idea of using a MS Excel spreadsheet lookup table to help him with his checkouts. He thought the spreadsheet would be a good addition to the Darts501.com site. So with a bit of revision and reworking I have developed Matt’s idea into a user friendly program. You don’t need to know how Excel works but you will need it installed on you PC. Full instructions how to use the program are on the spreadsheet.

Download the program to you PC click the above icon (zip file).
To run this program you will need MS Excel '97 or later.

Dart Averages...
The dart average gives an indication of a dart thrower's darting ability. The higher the average
normally indicates the better player. It is quite easy to calculate dart averages; basically you
just divide the score hit by the number of darts thrown. Over a match that has several legs the
average is calculate over the entire match not by a single leg.
I have shown a printable example of how to calculate a single leg of 501 but if you lose the
game what is your average?
This is easy to work out just divide the total score obtained by the darts thrown e.g.
400 scored in 15 darts = 26.67 per dart or 80.01 per throw. If you are
calculating a match that is over several legs then the calculation is the same.
Just total the number of points scored by the number of darts thrown.
An example of a three leg match, each leg 501
Leg One: Player 'A' wins in 18 darts, Player 'B' scores 401 with 15 darts.
Leg Two: Player' A 'loses, scores 469 with 21 darts, player 'B' wins in 22 darts
Leg Three: Player 'A' wins in 17 darts, player 'B' scores 424 in 16 darts.
Match averages:
Player 'A' scored a total of 1,471 with 56 darts their average per dart = 26.27
Player 'B' scored a total of 1,326 with 53 darts their average per dart = 25.02
Shots at double are some times shown as an average statistic and this is worked out in the same
way.
