The British Darts Organisation and the American Darts Organization specify that the distance along the floor from the plane of the board to the toe line (a.k.a. oche, which is pronounced like hockey with a silent H) is 7' 9¼". Also, the distance from the floor to the center of the bullseye is 5' 8". Rather than dropping a plum line to the floor then measuring along the floor, it is easier to measure directly from the center of the bullseye to the oche. Since that distance is the hypotenuse of a right triangle, you can calculate it using the Pythagorean theorem, a^2 + b^2 = c^2. Squaring 5'8" and 7'9¼", adding the squares, then finding the square root of the sum gives you about 9' 7.41". If the oche is a strip of tape, the measurement is to the board side of the tape. In the case of a raised oche, like a long block of wood, the measurement is to the thrower's side of the block.
