What is a 'bust' in darts?

A bust occurs if the thrown darts reduce the score to below zero or to exactly one, as a checkout must end on a double or bullseye.

How do I find the best way to finish a score?

You can use the `get_optimal_checkout` tool to identify the most efficient sequence, which prioritizes high-value triples to leave preferred doubles.

Can I check if my last throw was valid?

Yes, use `validate_shot_legality` to determine if your darts resulted in a bust, a zero score, or if the game is still in progress.
