The invention relates to dartboard games, where projectiles are thrown at a target. The face of the dartboard has a realistic, lifelike image of a game animal, and the higher scoring regions correlate to the kill zone of the game animal's anatomy. Lower scoring regions correlate to the rest of the body of the game animal, and penalty scoring regions may be present, scoring negative points. Players try to land their darts in certain scoring regions in order to score the most points, depending upon the rules of the game. Rules are provided for a 300 point and 21 point game. If the images are printed on the dartboard, the darts may be thrown or launched with an apparatus like a mini-bow or blow-gun. If the images are projected, the darts may be virtual.

A system for scoring darts that includes multiple cameras placed substantially parallel to the surface of a dartboard. With a field of view extending across the board, the cameras can be configured to capture images of darts projecting outwardly from the board as they are thrown, and the system can use this image data to calculate the location of each dart, and the corresponding score. Various algorithms may be used to orient the system and calibrate the system to account for irregularities in the images captured by the cameras to accurately determine the location. Proper scoring may be achieved for a variety of dartboards with different patterns of scoring regions based on game rules and corresponding board configurations maintained by the system.

A dart target game set featuring a baseboard and backstop with target locations for various point assignments and gameplay rules. In the preferred embodiment, the game features a canned beverage.

The practice bow and arrow set is an apparatus designed for indoor or outdoor use. The practice bow and arrow set displays a training targets of game animals. The game animals displayed in the target have appropriate target areas of the game animal highlighted. The target is displayed behind a transparent shield. The bow of the practice bow and arrow set can be a full size bow suitable for hunting. The arrow of the practice bow and arrow set is the size and weight of an arrow suitable for hunting but the tip of the arrow has been replaced with a suction cup. When shot at the target, the arrow adheres to the transparent shield allowing the shooter to see exactly where the arrow struck the target. The practice bow and arrow set comprises a bow, a plurality of arrows, a plurality of targets, a target display box and at least one telescoping leg.

Disclosed are a dart board equipped with a light source, and a device for controlling the dart board. The dart board equipped with the light source includes: a circular base plate; a plurality of ring-shaped parts which is provided with a predetermined height on an upper surface of the base plate, and is formed with a predetermined radius at a center of the base plate; a plurality of extended parts which are connected from an inner side of an outermost ring-shaped part among the ring-shaped parts to the center of the base plate in a radius direction of the base plate; a plurality of divided parts which are surrounded so as to be closed by the ring-shaped parts and the extended parts; a light guide unit of which one surface is in contact with an external side of the outermost ring-shaped part facing the inner side of the outermost ring-shaped part; and a light source unit which is in contact with the other surface of the light guide unit.

The present disclosure relates to a dart game system. The dart game system includes a dart game device, multiple external facilities, and a control unit configured to control the dart game device and the multiple external facilities. The dart game device includes a dart target having a plurality of point regions, a sensing unit configured to sense a hit to the dart target by a dart, a light source unit configured to output light, and a sound source unit configured to output sound. The multiple external facilities includes additional light source units configured to output additional light, and additional sound source units configured to output additional sound. The control unit is configured to control the light source units and the sound source units to output light or sound according to patterns, which depend on an occurrence of an event.

A portable target game that can be set up and played anywhere. The game consists of moving targets within a concave backstop, the moving targets being attached to flexible rods such that hits on target fall into the base of the concave backstop. The game is meant to be played with existing, lightweight projectiles such as NERF guns and plastic balls. The concave backstop is foldable such that the game can be folded up with all of the projectiles inside, and disassembled for convenient storage.

Disclosed is an online match making method in an electronic dart game apparatus according to an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure in order to implement the aforementioned object. The method includes: receiving a player input including identification information and matching request information of a player; determining a matching player among a plurality of other players by executing a match making algorithm based on the received player input; and a matching step of allowing executing a game with the determined matching player.

A method performed on a computer system, for displaying video replay during a game of darts, comprising continually acquiring throughout the game, a video image of an oche from where a player throws darts towards a dartboard, detecting that a dart has been thrown by a player from the oche and is stationary on the dartboard, determining a trigger event based on the throw of the dart, automatically determining based on the trigger event whether to display a portion of the acquired video image captured between a first predetermined time before said detection and a second predetermined time after said detection, such that the portion of the acquired video image corresponds to the detected throw and displaying on a display the portion of the acquired video image.
