Height and Distance

In the standard game, the centre of the dartboard is hung 1.73 m (5 ft 8 in) from the floor, and the oche (rhymes with hockey) (or throwing line at which the player's foot is placed) is 2.37 m (7 ft 9.25 in) from the face of the board. However, some British pubs set it at 8 ft (2.44 m) or 8 ft 6 in (2.59 m).
