Talk:Cricket (darts)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Shouldn't this article be renamed? -- Jwinters | Talk 19:24, 10 Nov 2004 (UTC)

I think so. Maybe to something like Darts-cricket. – TTD Bark! (pawprints) 19:44, 2004 Nov 10 (UTC)

I have moved the page to Cricket (darts). I will also correct the disamb page, which was the only page which linked to here. (Might want to also add a link to the Darts page. - Scooter 20:22, 10 Nov 2004 (UTC)

This page also needs to be wikified. I'll add that to a list of things to do... - Scooter 20:27, 10 Nov 2004 (UTC)

The classical way to play cricket is with numbers from 15 to 20+bulls. This is played in tournaments, leagues and grab-bags. You could choose any other five numbers on the board+bulls (i.e. 2,4,8,10,16+bullseye), but this would be good for the practice mainly.

I've always played the game with numbers 10 to 20 Triples, Doubles, and Bulls, where triples and doubles get nominated what to count on by the playing team, I also know it under the name "Coaches and Horses". Jim Ley

QUESTION: How to score when playing with three players? Is scoring finished when two of the three players have gotten three numbers, or can two players be scoring on the number until the third player gets the three numbers?

For three or more players, the game proceeds like this: any player who hits three 19s can score on that number, until ALL players have hit three 19s, at which point the number is closed. The article seems to sum this up sufficiently. Catachresis 01:07, 21 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Mickey Mouse

Never heard it called that myself, but extended the definition to include some common names I've heard. I presume none of the names will get a citation, but it's unlikely we'll see this game in the New Scientist. Catachresis 01:06, 21 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Spelling check, please

In the scoring area, the word treble is wrong. Treble is the sound as in opposite of bass.

The correct spelling is triple.
