How good are you?

 

Sure, you know who you can beat and you gives you fits when you play; but would you like to know where your game is on the national scene? If you are an experienced player, we have both local opportunities and national opportunities. There is even a professional darting tour, where the very best spar on a higher stage. So, how good do you want to be?

 

The basics

 

We have two leagues types, Open and Express. The Open leagues are four to six players playing Cricket and 501 as doubles.

The Express league format has three players with singles playing 301 and all Cricket matches are team play.

 

Holding your own

 

Coming soon, a very good description of the open format.

 

Maybe you play for fun.

 

Oh, have we got a league for you! Neutralizer is a handicapped game that is fast paced so your whole night isn't blown as matches typically take less than two hours. With the handicap, that friend of yours with the dartboard in his/her basement who annoys you by obviously playing soft, can't play soft against you in this league. Better players give points to the more casual user. For more information, see Neutralizer.

Games

The novice, or casual, player can find great success in the Neutralizer format, where all scoring is handicapped. The handicap is designed to level the playing field for any given match. Take a typical 301 for example: the better player always starts at 301, while the lesser player might start at 278, or 254, or less. Because the start is level, the winner will be the player that scores better relative to their natural ability.
