Sloppy in one minute
You play the Cricket targets — 20 down to 15 and the bull — plus three extra targets: Doubles, Triples and Beds. That is ten targets in all.
- Three marks close a target.
- A double or treble on any number 1–20 marks Doubles or Triples.
- Once you have closed a target and your opponent hasn’t, every extra mark scores.
- Close all ten with a score level with or ahead of your opponent to win.
How each dart counts
One dart can mark its number and one extra target at the same time. Numbers below 15 have no target of their own, but they still count toward Doubles, Triples and Beds.
| Dart | Marks in Sloppy |
|---|---|
| Single 20 | 1 on 20 |
| Double 20 | 2 on 20, 1 on Doubles |
| Treble 20 | 3 on 20, 1 on Triples |
| Double 7 | 1 on Doubles |
| Treble 3 | 1 on Triples |
| Double bull | 2 on Bull, 1 on Doubles |
The bull counts toward Doubles (a double bull) but never toward Triples.
Beds: three in a bed
A bed is a whole turn: all three darts in the same number’s wedge — any number 1–20, or the bull. Three in a bed earns one mark on Beds. Three single 9s, for example, are one mark on Beds and nothing else, because 9 has no target of its own; three in the 20 bed are three marks on 20 as well. If one of the three is a double or a treble, you choose: count the turn as a bed, or the dart toward Doubles or Triples — not both.
Scoring
Points only come from marks beyond the third, and only while your opponent still has that target open. Numbers score their face value — a treble 20 on a 20 you have closed is 60 — and the bull 25 a mark. On Doubles and Triples each extra dart scores what it hit: double 20 is 40, treble 17 is 51. On Beds an extra bed scores its three darts added up: three single 20s is 60, three treble 20s is 180.
An example turn
- Treble 20 — three marks on 20 (closed) and one on Triples.
- Double 7 — one mark on Doubles.
- Treble 3 — one mark on Triples.
Sloppy or CNO?
CNO plays the same ten targets, but only 15–20 and the bull count toward Doubles, Triples and Beds. Sloppy opens them to the whole board, so the extra targets close faster. CNO rules
