The origins of the dart board is a little less clear. Apocryphal stories have Grecian soldiers throwing their plumbata and javelins at emptied wine casks during their rests from battle. The cracking patterns on the casks may have formed stripes and bands that eventually became the modern dartboard layout. What is known that until the 1930s dart boards were constructed out of hard woods which had to be soaked each night to soften them enough for play. A company called Nodor switched to making dartboards out of compressed sisal fibers that could stand up to repeated play with limited maintenance. These boards used the numbering schema developed in London in the late 1800s and are virtually identical to a modern dartboard.
