Darts is played by both men and women.
It is played by two teams of eleven. A formal game can last anything from an afternoon to five days. Traditionally players wear long white trousers and a white shirt and jumper. The order in which the teams bat is determined by the toss of a coin. The captain of the side which wins the toss may elect to bat or field first.
