As winner Trevor has chosen this weeks challenge:

"THINK THIS WOULD BE A GREAT AND FUN GAME TO PLAY!!!!!

Halve-It, sometimes called Murder, is one of the more challenging games is and is often played by the pros in both British and American tournaments. Halve-It, like Shanghai and Baseball, is played in "innings" where in each round only a single number is in play. The numbers used, and the order they are played, are as follows: 20, 16, double 7, 14, triple 10, 17, and bull's-eye. The object of the game is to score as many points as possible. You can only score on the number in play for that round. If you should miss the number in play with all three of your darts, your cumulative score is cut in half; hence the name of the game. If you have to halve an odd numbered score, you round up (37 would become 19)

Halve-It Variations
Cricket Halve-It. Uses the same rules as regular Halve-It but the cricket numbers are used instead (20, 19, 18, 17, 16, 15, and bull's-eye).

Halve-It With Doubles and Triples. Same rules are used but the numbers and sequence is changed. The sequence in this variation is 12, 13, 14, any triple, 15, 16, 17, any double, 18, 19, and bull's-eye.

Halve-It With Negatives. Same game but if you should happen to miss the first number, your score goes into the negative the value of the number you are aiming for. So if you are playing traditional Halve-It and you miss on the 20 with all three darts, your score is then -20.

SO.....I WOULD LIKE TO PICK THE DOUBLES AND TRIPLES HALVE-IT......LOVE THIS GAME....SHOULD BE FUN!!!!!! darts throw"

So, there you go, halve-it is this weeks challenge, some members may be more familiar with this one than others but we can all give it a go. Good Luck

I personally am not entirely sure how to play this one but hopefully Trevor or someone who is familiar with the game can help,

Regards

I'm confused by it?

how many rounds do you throw, do the points equal the total you hit, is it game over as soon as you get zero points?

Zappa - Is your score playing the original or the doubles and triples version for this weeks challenge. If its the original i think i get it Laughing

D'OH

Probably have confused everyone
Just to confirm
Targets

12
13
14
Any Treble
15
16
17
Any Double
18
19
Bullseye (No Singles?)

11 walks

3 darts per target. Only score the numbers hit. 1st throw 12,T5,12 =24 not 39. Second throw @ 13's etc
Any treble/double score any/all trebles e.g. 20,T20,T1 = 63
Round up score when you are halving odd numbers. Half 51(52) = 26
Since half of 1(2) = 1 you can never get to 0

Shot on my lunch hour......465 points!!!! Good Luck

HERE IS A LINK OF MY GAME I JUST SHOT....FOR THOSE STILL NOT SURE!!!! CHEERS!!!

nice video McInnis. I think that the way the dartboard rocks after each dart would distract me. Not that I am accurate enough for it to much matter but an observation Smile

Love this game, we play most league nights after the match has finished, for a few quid obviously...

I'm struggling to follow this one I'm afraid as I never play it.

Do I have 3 darts at the following in order:

20
16
double 7
14
triple 10
17
bull's-eye

When going for 20, do trebles count as 60?
When going for double 7 does single 7 not count at all?
And with the bulls eye, is it center bull or the 25 aswell?

I make that 7 visits, or 21 darts in all?

Cheers

Rebel, McInnis chose the variation of double and trebles. So, the targets you want to go for are in this order: 12, 13, 14, any triple, 15, 16, 17, any double, 18, 19, and bull's-eye.

You put three darts at each number in the sequence and add up your total for that number. So, first you go for the 12. If you hit a treble 12 and two single 12s your score would be 36+12+12 = 60. You then continue with the rest of the numbers. In the instance of the any triple if you hit triple 19, triple 3, single 19 you would add 57+9 (nothing for the single 19) to your already tallied score. Same applies for any double. If you miss the number you are shooting at in the sequence you halve your score (+1 then halve in the instance of an odd).

The last one is tricky because it is bulls-eye and if I watched JD's video and followed it correctly it has to be a double bull. Single bull does not count.

I hope this helped Smile

P.S. If I was wrong about anything please correct me Very Happy

Bull caught me out on my first attempt so finished with 148....hopefully up that throught the week if I can get the bull at the end.

Thanks lefty

After much confusion and a string of 400+ scores being reduced to 200+ scores on the bull. Especially annoying when you hit 2 or 3 singles Evil or Very Mad

I finally cracked it: darts throw

581
Here's the breakdown 36+52+28+120+45+48+51+40+54+57+50(Last Dart) = 581

I have not got a clue with this one I am afraid, don't understand what I am aiming at or what to score myself, completely lost, sorry.

Thanks for trying to explain Lefty but still, no idea what I am doing so will miss this one for now, especially if Fox just broke John Lowe's record confused

Cheers

Going to kill all of us a few times I bet.

I was bummed, had the video going to. Missed a 180 on my last throw and I was feeling confident on the bull.

Missed it by a mile. lol!

I just scored a 752. But then I went and read the rules again.

It says 18, 19, then the bull. Did you forget to include 20? confused
