Chicago Cubs Black Dartboard Set

Yes. This set features a premium 18-inch tournament-sized bristle dartboard, which is the standard regulation size used in professional competitions. Whether you are practicing for a league or hosting a game night in your fan cave, this board provides the authentic pub-style experience that serious players expect.

This product requires customer assembly, which primarily involves securing the dartboard inside the cabinet and mounting the cabinet to your wall. Because the set weighs enough to handle active play, we recommend mounting it directly into wall studs or using heavy-duty wall anchors to ensure it remains stable and secure when darts are being thrown.

While this set is perfect for indoor game rooms and fan caves, we recommend keeping it in a climate-controlled environment. Bristle dartboards are made of natural fibers that are sensitive to moisture. In humid climates or outdoor settings, these fibers can absorb moisture, causing the board to swell or warp. For the best longevity, install it in a dry, indoor space.

To set up your dartboard for regulation play, the cabinet should be mounted so that the center of the bullseye is exactly 5 feet 8 inches from the floor. For the throwing distance (the oche), players should stand 7 feet 9 ¼ inches away from the face of the board. Given the cabinet's dimensions (19.75"w x 21.5"h), ensure you have enough wall clearance to fully open the doors and showcase the team logo.

To ensure even wear and maximize the board's life, our experts recommend rotating the dartboard and the outer number ring periodically. This prevents the most popular scoring segments (like the 20) from becoming over-used and worn out while other areas remain untouched. Additionally, always keep the board dry and avoid using water or liquids to clean the fibers.

This dartboard is constructed from densely packed bristle fibers (often referred to as sisal). The "self-healing" property comes from the nature of these fibers; when a dart is removed, the fibers naturally expand back to their original position, closing the hole. This high-quality construction significantly increases the board’s durability compared to paper or wood boards, ensuring it remains a centerpiece of your game room for years.
