Darts At A Glance

A darts knockout tournament is a fast-paced, competitive and social event where players compete head-to-head until only one player remains. It’s simple to enter, easy to follow and great for players of all abilities.

Players are randomly drawn into a tournament bracket. Each match is played one-on-one. The winner progresses to the next round. The loser is eliminated. The tournament continues until a champion is crowned.

How It Works - Before play begins, all entrants are registered. Names are drawn at random to create the first round matchups.

Matches - Each match is played live at your venue over a set format (for example: Best of 3 legs or First to 2 legs). Standard starting score is usually 501. Players take turns throwing three darts each. The aim is to reduce your score to exactly zero. To win a leg, players must finish on a double.

Match Format - 501 Game, Each player starts on 501 points. Scores are reduced with each visit to the board.
Double Finish - The final dart must land in a double segment to win the leg.

Best of Format - Matches may be:
- Best of 3 legs
- Best of 5 legs
- Longer for semi-finals and finals

Tournament Structure - Early Rounds, Quick matches to keep the competition moving.

Quarter-Finals -The final eight players compete.

Semi-Finals - The last four battle for a place in the final.

Final - The last two players compete to become tournament champion.

Scoring & Rules -Players must throw from behind the oche line. Any darts thrown after a bust do not count. If a player scores more than required to finish, the score resets to the previous total for that visit. A referee or scorekeeper may be present to mark scores and confirm finishes.

Prizes - This is your choice but prizes are normally awarded to:
- The Winner
- Runner-Up
- Sometimes Semi-Finalists
