There are 121,645,100,408,832,000 different possible arrangements of the 20 segments on a standard dartboard so it is perhaps a little surprising that Gamlins arrangement of the numbers is almost perfect.
Moi,
The numbering of a standard dartboard is designed in such a way as to cut down the incidence of lucky shots and reduce the element of chance. The numbers are placed in such a way as to encourage accuracy. Thats it. Pure and simple. The placing of small numbers either side of large numbers e.g. 1 and 5 either side of 20, 3 and 2 either side of 17, 4 and 1 either side of 18, punishes inaccuracy. Thus, if you shoot for the 20 segment, the penalty for lack of accuracy or concentration is to land in either a 1 or a 5.
