Bristle dart boards are more durable and less expensive than electronic dart boards. Electronic dart boards are used to play various games as it consists of a computer program for score calculations. Bristle dartboards are the most commonly used type of dartboards and are considered as a standard dartboard for the tournaments.

Electronic boards are also referred to as soft-tip dartboards as soft tip darts are used to play. These are little expensive boards as compared to the bristle boards. A standard dartboard is 17 and three-quarter inches in the diameter and is split into 20 sections.

There are two circles in the middle, a double ring and a triple ring, and two shooting targets inside the circles, outer bullseye and inner bullseye. The 20 sections outside the circles have a number ranging from 1 to 20. These numbers are arranged in a random order.

DARTBOARD MARKET DYNAMICS

The dartboards originated during the 1860s in the United Kingdom. In ancient times, darts were used in warfare practices by skirmishers. It was developed into a game of skills and was mainly played in the pubs much later. The dartboards were made of solid blocks of the Elm tree. After the day’s play, they were soaked overnight to heal the holes. The dart was a favorite game amongst the locals.

Later in 1923, dartboards were made of modeling clay. This model of dartboards was not a great success. Soon, dartboards were modified and were made of sisal fibers. Small bundles of similar lengths were bundled together and then compressed into a disk that was bounded with a metal ring. This type of dartboard was a great success as dartboards were more durable and required less maintenance. This was further modified into electronic dartboards with a digital scoreboard that has multiple games programmed into it.
