It certainly doesn't keep it in good condition but on the other hand still totally useable - We had our sisal board outside and It got a bit black around the dart holes and after a while waterlogged enough that the wire doesn't sit quite right in some places so I would recommend building a cabinet for it and not leaving it in the rain :)

How are the averages worked out in the game of darts?
An average in darts is simply worked out by : points scored (divided by) darts thrown. This is used for a whole game, so say in one leg you checked out, you would have scored 501 points, but if you lost a leg and were still on 101 you would only have scored 400 points.
Can you finish in three darts if you need to score 61?
sure...
Some people like single-bull, double-18. I prefer triple-7, tops (double-20). If you hit a single-7 with the 1st dart, that leaves single-14, tops.
The object of the game is simple: score exactly 501 points with the last scoring dart in a double. It is scored by starting at 501 and counting down. If at any point during a turn you pass zero, you get to exactly zero but not on a double, or you have 1 point remaining, it's called a bust (I think the English call it a burst, unless that's just a difference in pronunciation); your score remains what it was before your turn began, and your opponent takes his/her turn.

How do you get flights not to fall out of dart?
There is no way to stop them from falling out, unless you want to glue them in, in which case you can't use the stems again. You can get stems which have quite tight slots or ones which have locking rings at the top, but these aren't fool proof. When one dart goes close to another, it is likely that the flight with fall out anyway.
What is the Height of a Dart Board if your Widdy board says 5 ft 3 inches?
A dartboard manufactured by Widdy is an American style board, usually found around Philadelphia and that region. This is opposed to an English style board.
An American board has both the double and triple scoring rings on the outside. It also has thin inlaid steel wires separating the sections. This differs from the English board that most people know, which has the double ring on the outside, and the triple ring halfway between the cork and outer ring. For an English style board, the official measure is "center of the bullseye is 5 feet 8 inches from the ground." However, for American style boards like your Widdy, 5'3" is the correct height. See this blowup:
http://www.americanstyledarts.com/widdyDistanceBlowup.html
the height has the same measurements as the width.
How do you keep dart board from spinning?
The three curved pieces of steel that come with a dart board are springs that get hammered into the back and that push against the backboard (be sure to orient them so they don't grab the backboard when you rotate the board). When you have a loose board in a pub, most people stuff folded disposable coasters behind the edge of the board at a few places.
