Decide on starting player

Each player throws a dart onto the dartboard. Highest scorer is the starting player. Next player is the next highest scorer and so on. If tied, tied players throw again.

Throw 3 darts and aim for 15 to 20 and Bullseye

Throw 3 darts and try to hit numbers 15 to 20 and the bullseye.
If you hit any other number, nothing happens

Closing out numbers 15 to 20 and the Bullseye

When you hit numbers 15 to 20 and the bulleyes eye 3 times, you close it out.
Once a number is closed, begin scoring points every time you hit that number.
When both teams have closed out a number or bullseye, it is no longer in play and neither team can score points on it.

Scoring

For numbers 15 to 20, hitting the outer ring of a number counts for two times the value and hitting the inner ring counts as three times the value.
For the bullseye, the outer ring counts for one and the inner circle counts for two).

End of Game and Winning

If you close all numbers (15 to 20) and bullseye first and have the most points, you win. If tied on points, the first player/team to close all is the winner. If you close all first, but have lower points, continue to score on any numbers not closed by your opponent until you score higher points and win. If your opponent closes all before you can score higher points, they win.
