A nine-dart finish, also known as a nine-darter, is a perfect leg or single game in the sport of darts. In a single game of darts, each player must score exactly 501 points with the final dart ending on a double or the bullseye, and the fewest possible number of darts to achieve this feat is nine. For example, one way to achieve a nine-dart finish is to score 60 on each of the first seven throws, then a 57 on the eighth throw, and lastly a 24 on the ninth. It is regarded as an extremely difficult feat to achieve even for the sport's top players, and is considered the highest single-game achievement in the sport, similar to a maximum 147 break in snooker or a 300-point game in bowling.
