Why must a checkout finish on a double?
According to the official rules of darts, players must finish a game by hitting a double (the outer ring) or the bullseye. This rule adds an extra layer of skill and pressure to the game, as players must be precise with their final dart.

Does bullseye count as a double for checkout?
