Precise Electronic Dartboard

Abstract

An electronic dartboard apparatus with an “in-play” scoring area that includes a plurality of narrow concentric circular areas, as well as a plurality of narrow straight-line areas which extend from the innermost circular area, through the interior circular areas, to the outermost circular area. The outermost circular area serves to distinguish between the “in-play” and “out-of-play” areas. The distinct color of the narrow concentric circular and straight-line areas makes them distinguishable from the rest of the board, creating very clear boundaries between all the other scoring areas that make up the “in-play” area. Both the narrow circular and straight-line areas are flush with the rest of the dartboard, and include scoring holes identical to those throughout the entire “in-play” area, thus making the “in-play” surface one continuous, very precise scoring area, where darts no longer bounce off the board, and fail to register the proper score.
