Darts tournament
at your venue
In the canteen, warehouse or hall you already have. With pools, a knockout schedule and someone to run the matches.
What a tournament schedule adds to darts
A dartboard in the corner of the canteen gives half an hour of entertainment to the four people who already play darts. A tournament schedule turns it into a programme the whole group takes part in, with matches that lead somewhere and a result at the end.
That is where the work is, too. Someone has to divide the players into pools, keep track of the standings, send people to the right board on time and set up the knockout once the pool stage is finished. We take that over, so nobody on your side has to walk around with a clipboard.
- Freestanding boards with lighting, nothing on the wall
- Pools, knockout and losers' round in one schedule
- Match management and score keeping included
- Suitable from about 12 participants
Four stages, from pool to final
Pool stage
Everyone plays a fixed number of matches within their pool. That way even people who don't win have something to do for half an hour, which is exactly the point of a company outing.
Knockout
The best players from each pool go through. From that moment the rest of the group watches, and that is when a crowd forms around the boards.
Losers' round
Anyone who drops out in the pool stage carries on in a schedule of their own. That keeps the whole room moving instead of half of it disappearing to the bar.
The final
One board, with everyone else gathered around it. We keep score and commentate on the final, so the end really feels like an end.
A programme that runs around the boards
A darts tournament asks little of the participants. No fitness, no clothing to think about, and anyone who wants to can simply stand at the bar in between. That makes it workable for a staff evening where the group varies widely in age and fitness.
It also works well alongside something else. While the pool stage is running, food can be served or drinks can carry on, because the matches are played in short blocks. We then keep the schedule to the times you give us.
A compact tournament with two boards starts at €195. After the first conversation you'll get a firm price.
What we need from you
For a darts tournament we need floor space and a power socket per board. Allow about three metres of depth per set-up, with some room behind it so spectators can stand without anyone walking across the throwing line.
Give us the dimensions of the space and the number of participants in advance, and we will work out how many boards fit and what the schedule looks like. Setting up takes about an hour and we do it before you start.
If you want to hand out prizes, let us know. We will then build the schedule so that the final is the last item of the evening.
Frequently asked questions
Do we need our own dartboards?
You don't need any dartboards of your own. We bring freestanding boards with lighting and an oche line, and we place them wherever the space allows. So nothing goes on the wall and there are no holes in the plasterwork.
Can people take part who have never played darts?
Beginners can simply take part, and the tournament format is set up for that. In the pool stage everyone plays a fixed number of matches, whether they win or not. That means nobody is on the sidelines after ten minutes, which does happen with a straight knockout.
How much space does a darts tournament need?
Each board needs about three metres of depth and one and a half metres of width, plus some room behind it for spectators. A canteen usually fits two to four boards, a warehouse or shed more. We check in advance, based on the dimensions you give us.
How long does a darts tournament take?
A darts tournament takes two to three hours, depending on the number of participants and the number of boards. The pool stage is the longest part, the knockout goes quickly. We match the number of games to the time you have available.
