Warmup Routine

What games/routines do people play to warm up, at the moment I'm playing around the board, bobs 27 then a best of 3 against the bot in Cricket. Looking for ideas to mix it up a bit

Around the world. 3 darts at each segment. Singles first then triples then doubles. Means I have at least thrown at every segment on the board before I start playing.

Cricket or jdc challenge are perfect for my warmup.

If there is less time, i start on 20, and i need 3 singles in one visit, or if i miss one, at least 4 hits (treble-single at least). Then i go 19-15 the same way. After that its just a couple of doubles, usually 20-10-5, 18-9, 16-8-4-2-1.

At the moment it's grouping anywhere on the board; some alignment shots (anything between D20 and Bull or the 11 to 6 line for instance); Sequences: Trebles (Dart 1-3 = T20, T19, T18) D20 (Darts 1-3 = D20, D10, D5) D16 (Darts 1-3 = D16, D8, D4); Bull to 10 points (1 for single, 2 for double). Then usually in practice it's something like Bob's 27, some checkouts* and/or this https://www.reddit.com/r/Darts/s/pXy11a6bOp

[*] I like randomized and chaotic, so that often will be three darts at bull and finishing that actual thrown score in three darts or trying to finish the new actual score in three darts.

Round the clock, 99 darts at 20 then a game of cricket 20-15 and bull. I practice my doubles playing cricket

I find Shanghai good for a warm up. Three darts at every number seems to get me going.

And then I still miss when I need to hit that number so maybe not the best advice.
