Fun with family and friends
By Frederick Corrigan
Fun with family and friends
How would you like to play Baseball, Football, Golf, Spanish Cricket and Shootout in your game room with your family and friends? What about Car Racing, Gold Hunter, Killers, Hound and Hare or Legs all within the comfort of your home? Well, get yourself an electronic dartboard and get ready for some great home entertainment.
With the right electronic dartboard you can play up to 43 different games and in some cases, with up to 16 players. You can include younger players because this type of dartboard is played with soft tip darts. These soft tip darts are thrown at a board consisting of a perforated plastic face. Each hole in the board is sized to accept the dart point and has beveled edges to facilitate entry of the soft plastic point of the dart. Some electronic dartboards have features such as a handicap option for each player, a voice with 3 volume levels and an auto player change. The score is kept by the electronic sensors within the dartboard.
In the standard game, the dartboard is hung so that the bull’s-eye 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 7 ft 9 1/4 in (2.37m) from the face of the board, though a few British pubs set it at 8 ft (2.44m) or 8 ft 6 in (2.59m). For casual play, it is not uncommon to find the oche somewhat further or closer than the tournament standard, either due to rounding of the specified distance (to 7 1/2 or 8 feet), or just due to measurement error (such as measuring from the wall, rather than using a plumb line to measure from the board face).
Each player takes his/her turn and throws three darts, which now gets everyone involved, creates conversation, gets the competitive juices flowing and creating activity that is not there when you play a video game on a computer. Plus it is a known fact that long term use of the computer can create certain health problems and it sure doesn’t help with your people skills. Now, throw in some refreshments, the family and friends are moving around, they’re all involved and it’s good healthy fun.
The bottom line is with an electronic dartboard you can entertain your family and friends, have a little healthy competition, socialize and have fun without being a pro, in the comfort of your home. Family and friends are important---have fun with them!

What a cool invention. I always liked darts but packed them away when the kids became old enough to pick things up (and stab each other with them). Just one question, how do you pronounce "oche"?
CONTRIBUTOR'S REPLY
Thanks for your comments.
Ouche line, is the throw line that you stand behind.
"Ouche" is pronounced the same as when someone gives you a good pinch and your reply is "OUCH".
Have a good one.
