It seems that one of the biggest problems I have is doubling in. I do much better on the way out, but I've lost more than my share of legs because I end up chasing a double to start. In my league, we play our singles 501 DIDO, as well as another league I was in plays 301 DIDO. With 301 it's even more critical to get in sooner rather than later.
The other night I was practicing scoring then going around the board in doubles, then I had a thought....
301 DIDO but each round has to start with a scoring double before other darts are counted. If you get the double on your last dart, well, your next round begins at the double.
If your within range of going out and end up odd with one dart, try to leave yourself a single dart out.
Something more challenging just occurred to me. Throw the first dart at an odd number, then only score on doubles until you reach 0. Except for the first shot at an odd number, singles, triples do not count.

- If it ain't broke, you might still be able to fix it.
