2. Throw three darts per visit.
3. Singles/doubles/triples/bulls deduct their values.

An example to follow

With 40 remaining, a double 20 finishes a double-out leg. A single 20 leaves 20; it does not finish the leg. Apply the same reasoning to the position in your own round. Choose a deliberate next step.

Watch out for this

A bust restores the score at the start of the visit. Compare the situation with the worked example. Locate the buttons and input area before beginning a long round. Use the on-screen labels to avoid an accidental restart.
