How far do you stand from an electronic dart board? Expert Guidelines for Proper Dart Machine Setup
Setting up an electronic dart board for optimal play is crucial for safety, tournament compliance, and player satisfaction. This article addresses how far do you stand from an electronic dart board, a key knowledge point for dart machine professionals facing frequent setup and usage questions. Learn authoritative standards, measurement tips, and essential best practices.
Standard Throw Line Distance for Electronic Dart Boards
- Official Throwing Distance:
▪ According to the National Dart Association (NDA) and the World Darts Federation (WDF), the standard distance from the front of the electronic dart board to the throw line is 244 cm (8 feet).
- Common Setup Error:
▪ Occasionally, measurements are taken from the wall rather than the face of the dart board—always measure from the board’s front surface.
- Alternate Units:
▪ The throw line, known as the oche, should be 96 inches from the board’s front.
- Soft Tip Dart Boards:
▪ Electronic/soft tip dart machines universally use the 8 feet standard, while steel tip requirements are slightly different.
How to Measure the Correct Distance
- Direct Measurement:
▪ Place the measuring tape at the board’s face (not the wall or cabinet) and extend it straight back to mark the throw line at 244 cm (8 ft).
- Floor Marker:
▪ Use pre-made floor markers, adhesive strips, or a toe line bar for clear guidance; ensure markers are flush to the floor to prevent tripping.
- Regulatory Compliance:
▪ Always consult NDA Official Rules (see: nda.net/rules) and local regulations for public or competition installations.
Board Height Guidelines
- Bullseye Height:
▪ For professional electronic dart machines, mount the bullseye at 173 cm (5 feet 8 inches) from the floor.
Additional Professional Tips
- Space Allowance:
▪ Ensure a clear play area of at least 1.5 meters (5 feet) behind the throw line for player movement.
- Safety First:
▪ Always check local fire codes and league rules for minimum spacing and player safety requirements.
- Machine Calibration:
▪ Proper leveling and calibration of the dart board ensure fairness and machine longevity.
