First, I would like to thank Ken Parsley, 105235.1201NO-SPAM@compuserve.com (Delete the words NO-SPAM) to contact him)
for his submission of this game. It is a local favorite in the midwest and is even used
in the Dakotas according to Ken.
X-Out:
X-Out is an very enjoyable game for 2 teams or players. The game is played
very similar to Cricket without points. I like
this one alot.
The Object:
The object of the game is to "close" all your numbers (20 down through
10). To close a number, you must hit three of that number.
The Scoring:
The scoreboard is drawn with the numbers 20 through 10
written in descending order down the center of the board. Each dart that lands in any of the games numbers count
toward closing that number. The thin outer ring counts as two of that
number and is called a "double". The thin inner ring counts as three
of that number and is called a triple. Scoring for one dart is shown
by placing a slash ( \ ) next to the number scored. Scoring for two
is shown by placing an X next to the number scored. Scoring for three
is shown by placing a circle next to the number to indicate it is
closed. When three of a number is scored in any combination, it is closed.
The Play:
The players each take a turn throwing one dart at bulls-eye, closet dart
to the bullseye gets to throw first. The first player throws three
darts at any of the scoring numbers to try to close that number. The player
then scores the darts that he has thrown and play
alternates until one player/team closes all their numbers.
Strategy:
There really isn't any strategy to this game, just try to close your numbers.
