Apparently there are very specific rules for how to setup a dartboard. I had no idea.

Tips other than regulations though? A nice open space! I don’t play a great deal of darts, but when I have it’s always squeezed between a bar and a pinball machine or something like that. Less is more!

In addition to the placement of the target and throwing line, I suggest affixing the target to a fabric covered fiberboard, then fixing that to the wall. It will save a lot of wall damage.
