Electronic Dartboards

An electronic dartboard is used for soft tip darts and in most cases comes with a built-in digital scoreboard. This makes an electronic soft tip dart board an exciting choice for players as most of them will do the counting for you. The automated scoring system takes away the tricky maths part and is perfect for beginners who are just starting out as they can focus solely on throwing the darts!

Soft Tip Technology

An electronic soft tip dart board is made of robust plastic materials with pre-molded holes. When a dart enters the board, it interacts with the location sensors built into the board to calculate your score. The electronic dart board scorer will then show you what score you have left.

Soft tip boards are used by players of all ages, but the plastic points used with the darts makes it a safer game to play than the steel tip version, which also makes it more suitable for younger players.

Accurate & Precise Scoring

An electronic dartboard has location sensors to detect the location of the dart when it lands in the board. When a dart enters one of the pre-molded holes in the board a sensor will trigger and automatically counts the points and calculates the score for you.

This is a great feature as you can focus solely on the game and not have to worry about adding and subtracting your scores. This is good in particularly for youngsters and also for game nights, when you’ve got your friends and family over, and you don’t have to keep track of everyone’s score, as the board will do it all for you.

It is important to remember that you can only use darts with soft tip points in them on an electronic board. This is because the soft tip darts will stick into the board, whilst darts with metal tips (used for steel tip) will damage the board.

The Future of Darts

Players should embrace the new technology with electronic dartboards. A soft tip board from this range is very practical as most of them will add up the scores themselves, and with the integrated scoreboard you can see your scores straight away.

Most of these electronic boards also offer players the chance to play various games, with a lot of them also suitable for multiple players, which is ideal for when you have friends and family members visiting to play darts. The option to play games online also gives players the chance to connect to other people from around the world through a shared passion of darts.

A soft tip board is also the perfect choice for families with young children as the points used in soft tip darts are made from plastic. These points won’t damage your walls or floor, but we still recommend that young children are supervised whilst playing. Soft tip is a game that can be enjoyed by all ages and in some parts of the world, such as Asia and North America, it is very popular.
