Why 170 is special

It is three darts: treble twenty, treble twenty, bullseye. Anything above 170 cannot be finished in three darts because the double required to win must land exactly, which is why 170 rather than 180 is the number commentators call the big fish.

Other mathematical patterns

  • Deficient number

Sport

  • 180 is the highest score from three darts, but a leg must end on a double, so the highest possible checkout is 170 — treble twenty, treble twenty, bullseye. The distinction between scoring and finishing is what makes darts scoring counterintuitive to newcomers.
