I can’t seem to figure out how the current configuration of numbers around the face of a dartboard was arrived at. I know it alternates both high-low-high-low and odd-even-odd-even (for purposes of games where an even number of points are required) but I’ve been unable to find anything that details the specific arrangement of numbers. Is it random? Anyone?
Here you go.
It looks like don’t ask has this taken care of, but here is the link to a thread on this same topic that happened a few monthes ago.
