Dartbord Oche distances

The sport originates from the UK, so all measurements are in feet and inches. Let’s convert these correctly.

1 foot = 12 inch, 1 inch = 25,4 mm.

From the floor to the center of the Bull’s Eye:
5 feet. 8 inches = 68 inches = 1727,2 mm

From the front of the dartboard to the Oche / throwing line:
7 feet 9 1/4 inches = 93,25 inches = 2368,55 mm

Most websites will mention 1,73m and 2,37m, but as you can see this is not quite right.
Now, let’s add some math:

As good old Pythagoras says: “a2 + b2 = c2”, so:

5610029,1025 + 2983219,84 = 8593248,9425 and get the square root from this last one gives us:

2931,424387989566 !

So, our bullseye – oche distance should be 293,14 cm long to test the measurement diagonally.

PS.
And a small note on WordPress; how to remove the default link to the media file when inserting an image? Manually change the image_default_link_type setting (in your database table wp_options) from value “file” to “none”.
