Competitions

We have a number of competitions that are played throughout the season. Requests for entries will be posted on the Facebook Group a few weeks before each comp, with the cut off generally 1 week before. When entries are to be split between multiple venues, random allocation will be drawn in public, at least 1 week (unless otherwise stated) before the competition. Actual draws will be made on the night, with redraws each round.

Unless specifically stated otherwise, venues (and the dartboards themselves) will be available from 8pm at the latest, with the registration and draw at 8:15, and play commences at 8:30. Arriving after 8:15 means it is highly likely you will not be able to enter. An adjudicator will be allocated for each competition/venue.

There are some basic details below. The format refers to the early rounds – there may be additional legs in the later stages. Competitions are generally played to the last 2 or 4 players/teams, for the finals themselves to be played on Finals Night – the exact details of this are often worked out on the night itself, dependent on speed of progress.

Whoever loses a match is responsible for making themselves available for scoring (or finding a scorer for) the next match that evening, as directed by the adjudicator. Failure or refusal to do so will likely result in suspension from future competitions (as decided by the Committee).

Entrance Criteria

Players are only eligible for competitions if they are registered correctly for their team, except for Mixed Pairs, where only one player needs to be registered. For (normal/basic) Pairs and Triples, the 2 players don’t need to play for the same team, but both/all need to be registered with a team.

For Singles and DIDO competitions, players must have played a minimum of 2 games for their team in the current season by the time of the competition. If a player has qualified for any finals (usually to be played on Finals Night), they must still be registered for a team, and have played a minimum of 3 games in the current season for their team (or any team, if they have switched teams mid-season) before Finals Night itself.

No Shows

Where registration is required before the tournament (as is usual), and the player then withdraws, the captain of the team is responsible for the entry fee.

Other Notes

180s and high finishes are counted towards league stats in all comps, tons are not. Least darts are counted in Singles and DIDO. Formats may change dependent upon number of entries, among other things. Scoring help (outshots etc) is forbidden from Singles and DIDO, and in other comps may only be provided by team mates. Comps may be run simultaneously across multiple venues.
