60–41 · Setup range
Bogey numbers: 169, 168, 166, 165, 163, 162, 159
These seven scores cannot be finished on a double with three darts — no combination exists whose final dart is a double. Good players avoid bogey numbers a visit early: they leave scores like 170, 167, 164 or 161 that can end on the bull, or set up a favourite double like tops (double 20) or double 16 instead.
Knowing the route doesn't hit the double

Common questions about the checkout table
What is the darts checkout table?
The checkout table shows the recommended way to finish a leg in at most three darts for every remaining score from 2 to 170. In standard play (501/301 double out) the final dart must land in a double or the bullseye. The table follows the PDC standard used by pros and callers.
Why does the last dart have to be a double?
Double out is the standard rule in steel darts: a leg only ends when the remaining score is brought to exactly 0 with a double (or the bullseye, which counts as double 25). If you go below 2 or leave exactly 1, it's a bust and your score is reset to the start of the visit.
What is the highest checkout in darts?
170 — treble 20, treble 20, bullseye. It's the most famous finish in darts (the “Big Fish”). It's followed by 167 (T20, T19, bull), 164 (T20, T18, bull) and 161 (T20, T17, bull). Anything above 170 is impossible with three darts.
Which scores can't be checked out?
The seven bogey numbers 169, 168, 166, 165, 163, 162 and 159. No three-dart combination ending on a double exists for them. If you're left on a bogey number, use the visit as a setup and leave yourself a good double for the next turn.
What's the best way to practise checkouts?
Targeted checkout training instead of just playing 501: SmartDart has a free checkout trainer with three difficulty levels and the 121 game for finishing under pressure. Both run in the browser, no download — including the routes from this table.
