The distance for throwing steel tip darts was standardized in the 1970’s for international competition and measures 7’ 9 1/4” from the face of the dartboard to the toe line not the wall. Most electronic dartboards have keyholes on the back for hanging at the proper height Measuring the height of the board is much easier this way, as the official measurement is from the floor to the double bulls-eye allowing you to just measure the height of the bracket. This system lets the bristle dartboard rotate on the single screw while it sits in the bracket allowing for the rotation of the dartboard and number ring. This screw will sit in a special keyhole bracket that is attached to the wall, cabinet or backboard. Usually there will be a mark or starter hole as to where to place the screw and should be located directly behind the double bulls-eye. The steel tip dartboard comes with a screw to put in the center of the back of the dartboard. The height of both the bristle and electronic dartboard is set at 5’ 8” from the floor to the center of the bulls-eye always with the 20 wedge on a black segment and on top of the board in the 12 o’clock position.
