The official distance to stand from a dartboard for throwing darts is 237 centimeters (7 feet 9.3 inches) from the front of the dartboard to the throwing line, also called the "oche." This distance is regulated for fairness and skill balance in the game. The dartboard's bullseye is mounted at a height of 173 centimeters (5 feet 8 inches) from the floor, so the player stands at about 7 feet 9.3 inches away horizontally from the board's face when throwing darts.
