  • During Playoff rounds, there will be a brief two (2) minute break during the match around the halfway point. (number of legs+1)/2 = break time. Example: Best of 21, means a two minute break after the 11th leg. This means the player that lost the diddle, will start when coming back after the break. Best of 11 means a break after the 6th leg.
  • In certain situations, there might be a Quarter-Final round in the playoffs as well; this round will be Best of (regular season wins)-1 [ex: Best of 12 in league, best of 11 in quarter-finals]

    Bay Area Wide Championships

    • After the season is over, we will hold a Championship, most likely on a Saturday or Sunday somewhere in the Bay Area.
    • ALL players who played at least 50% of the season's matches will be invited to participate, along with any non playing League officials.
      • Brackets may be drawn based on your typical Division of play
      • Players may be seeded based on their Darts Index
      • Players may play “up” a Division
      • If your Darts Index is well below the standard for your Division, playing “down” will be considered on a case by case basis.
      • Format is at the sole discretion of the Tournament Organizer
    • Summer season will not have an event.
