The image below is of a standard dartboard

enter image description here

I was just wondering why this sequence of numbers was used in the first place. Is there any special and beautiful sequence hidden in this dartboard$?$ I tried finding some by experimenting with the squares of those numbers but couldn't find one. Can anyone spot any elegant pattern$?$

    The intention was likely to have been to put low numbers adjacent to high numbers (and perhaps odd numbers next to $20$) to penalise inaccuracy, but there is no claim that the standard pattern is optimal in any sense. See Wikipedia and especially the references in footnote A – Henry Mar 20 '23 at 10:19
