Baseball Dartboard Rules

[Hashish]

Does anyone know if there are official rules for this? My friend's uncle gave him an old school dart board with this on the reverse:

We have been arguing about what exactly the H surrounding the bullseye should be. Should it be a base hit that advances the runners in a non-force situation?

Anyone that knows the real rules or has a link? Any help would be much appreciated. :0008

Played this as a kid. We counted the black area as a single. No rules, though

So Cie, would you count that as a single that would score a man from 3rd or advance a man from 2nd to 3rd? We have been arguing about whether it is that or the same as the safe hit: i.e., the man gets to 1st but it does not advance anyone else.

We would advance runners in non-force situation on that hit. Like you, we counted safe hit as an infield hit advancing only as forced.

Variants
Another form of baseball played on the dart board is called baseball darts.<SUP id=cite_ref-4 class=reference>[5]</SUP>

Baseball Darts.


Games are played with either two or four players. If it is between two players, they play head-to-head. If it is four, the teams of pairs play against each other. The baseball dart board is designed just like a baseball diamond. There are several sections: Strike, Ball, Hit, Foul, Out, Sacrifice, Stolen Base, Single, Double and Triple. The center red dot is an automatic three outs and the surrounding area is an automatic hit. Four balls means a walk and three strikes means an out. The count is reset any time the dart lands on another area such as Hit, Double or Home run. A player's turn is over if they make three outs. If a dart misses the board, it is considered a ball. Just like real baseball, fouls are considered strikes, but they cannot strike out a player. When playing with two players, each player gets to throw five darts or they get out, whichever comes first.
