Dart Board Height: 5 feet. 8 inches from floor to the center of the bull's-eye.
Distance from front of the dartboard to the throwing line: 7 feet 9 1/4 inches.
To mark the throw line a simple piece of tape will suffice. Major tournaments, however, use a "hockey" which is a thin raised strip of wood approximately 1 1/2 inches high (see image diagram below).
Mounting: Flush to the wall - not leaning like a picture - with the 20 at the top.
Location: Since darts often bounce out of the dartboard, never put a dartboard up near windows or breakables or where anyone could walk between the throwline and the dartboard.
