The electronic dart board, the safer way to play darts

The electronic dart board is now well established for home use as well as tournament play. There are many variations, from the arcade style found in tournaments and the coin op version in some bars, to the standard home versions of the boards. The great thing about them of course is the electronic scoring; the score on the dart board is registered by the sensors and the electronics in the board so there is no need to record the score yourself, no more chalk boards required. Most of them will also indicate whose turn it is by lights or even a voice on the more expensive models. It is like having a referee in the house, all those chores like scoring, remembering whose turn it is and interpreting the rules is all done for you by the electronics.

There are now two types of electronic dart board around, the standard board with hundreds of holes in it and the new so called “BristleTech” board, which is similar to the standard bristle boards so you can use both steel tip darts and soft tips, and it still has the electronics to do all the scoring for you as well. This is truly the best of both worlds and is surely the way of the future.

The best example of this new technology is the Halex Armada BristleTech board with a laser toe line built in as well! So you get to use whatever darts you like and the built in laser shows you where to throw from as well, fantastic! So both types of darts players can make use of this board. Who knows, the electronic boards may be used in the big tournaments like the Las Vegas Classic before long.

There are standard wall mounted boards and the arcade style that doesn’t need to be set up, as they are free standing and the board is already mounted for you at the correct height. (Great! no drilling) The latest electronic dart boards are relatively cheap, at a starting price of around $50 to $300 for the all singing, all dancing arcade types.

Be aware the wall version of the electronic dart board is larger than their bristle type cousins , so if you get a cabinet for it, make sure you get a bigger one to put it in. Just check when you get a cabinet for one, that an electronic board will fit in it, they usually say if they will fit the bigger electronic dartboards in the specifications of the cabinet.
