I believe the answer is:

top

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'a score?' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both shapes as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe you can see an association between them that I don't see?

'at darts best place for' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'for' could be 'to' (eg both can mean 'in the opinion of') and 'to' is present in the answer.
A single letter 'p' remains which might be clued in a way I don't see.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for top that I've seen before include "Most successful" , "Summit or spinning toy" , "Pinnacle" , "Better" , "Spinner" .)
