ABSTRACT:
A dart game is shown having an automatic player change feature that is implemented by software wherein the software discriminates between dart hit impacts and non-dart hit impacts on the scoring segments of a dart head. The dart game includes a controller that determines the occurrence of an event representing the actuation of a scoring segment of the dart head. The controller determines whether a scoring segment is actuated by a dart hit impact or a non-dart hit impact by monitoring the time that the scoring segment remains actuated. If the scoring segment is actuated for only a short, but stable period of time, the impact is determined to be a dart hit. However, if the scoring segment is actuated for a longer period of time, the impact is determined to be a non-dart hit impact. The controller is responsive to the occurrence of a predetermined number of dart hit impacts and/or detected missed darts to automatically generate a player change signal to eliminate the need for a player to manually actuate a switch to signal the start of the next player's turn.
