A visit is a player's complete turn at the oche — the three darts they throw before stepping aside. It's synonymous with "round" and "throw" in darts terminology, though "visit" has a slightly more formal, statistical feel. When you see darts statistics, they usually reference "per visit" numbers: average per visit, highest visit, checkout percentage per visit. The average visit score is the most fundamental statistic in darts. It tells you, on average, how many points a player scores with their three darts. Professional players average 90-105 per visit (sometimes called "three-dart average"). Top club players might average 65-80. Recreational players typically average 40-60. This single number encapsulates overall scoring ability. The term "visit" implies a sense of occasion. You're visiting the oche — stepping up to the line, doing your work, and stepping away. Each visit is a self-contained performance. Some visits are magnificent (180!), some are disappointing (breakfast), but each one is its own mini-story. Tracking your visits helps you understand your game at a granular level. How many visits does it take you to reach checkout range? What's your first-visit average? (Some players start strong and fade; others warm up.) Do you score better when you're ahead or behind? These patterns, visible across hundreds of tracked visits, reveal your strengths and weaknesses. In competitive darts, visit count is also how leg efficiency is measured. A player who finishes a leg of 501 in 15 darts needed 5 visits. Fewer visits means better efficiency — the ultimate goal is the 3-visit (9-dart) leg.
