Height and Distance
An "American" board is mounted a few inches lower, and a few inches closer, than the more commonly seen "English" board.
The center of the cork is 5' 3" from the floor. The distance be set at 7' 3" from the back of the dartboard. This would result in a distance of 106.4" from the center of the cork to the throw line. On the other hand, the ABDA (American Baseball Darts Association) sets the distance at 7' 3" from the front of the board. This is 107.4" from the centre of the cork to the throw line.
