The Darts scheme is a wormy adaptation of the popular Darts game.
In this adaptation, players have to launch their worms to the scoreboard, enabling Low Gravity, then using a Ninja Rope to build momentum with the help of an object specifically drawn for that purpose (a wall or a dot, for example), and finally a Pneumatic Drill to actually fly to the scoreboard. Certain maps may require pressing the Space bar in order to stop the drilling so the worm won't be prevented from landing.
History
The scheme has been invented by SiD in 2011, with a first map posted on WMDB on July 15th.
A dedicated community, dS (which stands for Darts Stuff), was then created a year later by Alien and Komito. Hurz and SiD later got administration rights in it. The community promotes the scheme by hosting cups and tournaments on TUS and WO.
