Crossword Clues help.

I thought I'd open a thread for anyone who does crosswords, like me who needs a bit of help, I do easy ones, but still get challenged.
Today I have a tricky crossword clue that I can't get it as I am not familiar with darts.
The question is - What is a darts line?


I resist looking it up, as it is more fun discussing and sharing with members I think.

Oche?

Thanks Rebbonk, what are the different lines where you stand to throw the darts, why are they different lengths ?

One will be the World Darts Federation line (7 ft 9 1⁄4 in)
One will likely be the National Dart Association (8 ft)
Others may well be due to local variations, including a womans' line.

There are also different ways of measuring the distances, including the diagonal distance to the Bulls Eye.

I'm by no means a darts aficionado (although I used to be a mean player in my teens) so someone more involved with the sport might be able to add more

Incredible, there is more to darts than meets the eye.



:D

If you could add the number of letters and any that you think you already have it might help.

eg Clue Planet(6) -a--r-
