Game Rules: Golf (Darts)

Game Identity

• Name: Golf (Darts)
• Player Count: 2–8 players. Standard: 2–4.
• Teams: No teams (individual). Can be played as 2-person team match.
• Theme: Low-score darts game structured exactly like golf: 9 or 18 holes (rounds), where each "hole" targets a specific number on the board.

Scoring Mechanics

• Scoring Variant: Evasion — lowest cumulative score wins.
• Target Score: 9 or 18 rounds (fixed). Lowest total score after all holes wins.
• Unit of Scoring: Strokes per hole (1–5 depending on section hit).
• Lower vs. Higher: Lower is better.

Rules & Validation

Per-Hole Logic

• Hole number = Target number on the board (Hole 1 = segment 1, Hole 2 = segment 2, etc.).
• Each player throws 1 dart per hole.
• Scoring by section hit:

  Section Hit	Strokes (score)
  Bullseye (inner)	1
  Outer Bull	2
  Triple segment of that hole's number	2
  Double segment of that hole's number	3
  Single segment of that hole's number	4
  Miss (any other segment)	5

• Lower strokes = better. Bullseye is a hole-in-one.

Validation Rules

• Score per player per hole: 1, 2, 3, 4, or 5.
• All players must throw for each hole before moving to the next.

Special Actions / Bonuses

• Hole in One: Hitting the inner bullseye = 1 stroke regardless of hole number.
• Triple (equivalent to Eagle): Hitting the triple of the target number = 2 strokes.

Win Conditions

• Condition: After 9 (or 18) holes, the player with the lowest cumulative stroke count wins.
• Tie-Breaker: Compare scores hole-by-hole from Hole 1 forward (stroke play tiebreaker). If still tied, sudden-death playoff holes.
