Free Cricket darts scorer
Track every mark, closed target and point while players fight for control of 15 through 20 and the bull.
How Cricket darts works
The standard Cricket targets are 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20 and bull. Each player tries to score three marks on every target. A single counts as one mark, a double as two and a triple as three.
Once a player has three marks on a number, that target is closed for that player. Additional hits can score points while at least one opponent still has the same target open.
How points are scored
You already have three marks on 20, but your opponent only has one. A triple 20 scores 60 points because your opponent has not closed 20 yet.
When every opponent has closed the number, no further points can be scored on it. This creates the central tactical choice in Cricket: close new targets or build a points lead on a target you already control.
How to win Cricket
You must close every target and have at least as many points as each opponent. If you close all targets while behind on points, the game continues until you take the lead or prevent opponents from scoring further.
Understanding marks
Marks per round
MPR means marks per round and is a common Cricket performance statistic. It shows the average number of marks scored per three-dart visit. Points do not change the number of marks earned by the dart: a triple still counts as three marks.
Cricket strategy for beginners
- Start high. Closing 20 first gives the best scoring opportunity.
- Watch the opponent's board. A closed target can still be valuable if they have it open.
- Protect a lead. If you are ahead on points, closing the remaining targets may be safer than continuing to score.
- Use triples efficiently. One triple closes an untouched target immediately.

Frequently asked questions
Does the bull count in Cricket?
Yes. Outer bull counts as one mark and inner bull counts as two marks.
Can you win while behind on points?
No. You must close all targets and have at least as many points as the other player or team.
What happens after everyone closes a number?
That number can no longer score points for anyone.
Cricket scoring without a paper grid
Ocheflow records marks, closes targets and adds points only when an opponent remains open. The live MPR display helps players understand whether they are improving through accurate marks rather than raw X01 points.
Strategic choice: close or score
A player who is ahead may close an opponent’s open target, while a player who is behind may continue scoring on an open number. The scorer keeps both states visible during the match.
