👉 The contest weapon, often referred to as the "contest dart" or "dartboard," is a specialized piece of equipment used in various combat sports and martial arts competitions, such as Muay Thai and kickboxing. It consists of a circular board marked with concentric rings, typically made from materials like wood or plastic, and is usually mounted on a stand. Contestants aim to land hits on specific target areas, such as the opponent's head, chest, or legs, using darts or other projectiles. The weapon is designed to be durable and easy to clean, allowing for quick and frequent use during intense matches. Unlike regular darts, contest weapons are often heavier and have a more pronounced weight distribution to enhance accuracy and power in strikes.
