​

Tournament Ts and Cs

• Are the same as above however;

• If we play a round robin format, the top player or players will qualify into the Knockout stage

• If it's round - robin only or a league only. Then players are ranked by Points, Leg Difference and then 3 Dart Average. 

• If 3 dart average is also a tie, then its head to  head (which may lead to league / round - robin positions being incorrect on Nakka).

• ​If we head to a KO and if it's a draw of qualifiers then the qualification is based on Points, Leg difference and if that's a tie it's based on, head to head only (again Nakka may place you incorrectly and the organiser must advise the players).

• If Head - to - Head has multiple players which all beat eachother equally (I.e A beat B, B beat C, C beat A). Then it's based on 3 dart average for who qualifies. Remember Nakka may "missplace you" and this term takes priority, the organiser ill advise the players.

  • If all of that is a tie, the organiser will draw lots. (random number generator).

• If their was a tournament where draws are applicable it's based on 3 dart average for who qualifiers. 

• ​Please note Nakka may place you incorrectly and the Ts and Cs take priority.

• If we have "uneven" groups, the "next best finishers" in each group can go through. Who goes through will be decided on 3 dart average exclusively. If there is a tie, the it's leg difference, if it remains a tie it's a random generator.

• Only "next best finishers" will be all players that finish the league position below the qualification position only. For example, 2nd qualifiers, so only 3rd placed players have a chance to qualify as a "next best finisher". E.G if someone finishes 5th but has the best 3 dart average, they cannot qualify because in the example above "next best finishers" are 3rd places only.

• At the Knockout stage you must start your game within 10 minutes or you will be DQ'd

• If you camera fails at any stage of the game you will lose that game immediately. You have one opportunity to re-boot he camera in that game (read below points)

• ​If your camera fails in more than 1 game, you will be DQ'd

  • This is not a reflection on the person, it happens, but these are the standards set for all players.

• If your camera stops working during a game and you can't fix it before the next leg, you lose that game. If it's during the League or Round Robin stage, you can continue playing the next game if your camera is working.

• Nakka - If your opponent’s camera does stop working, please let them know and do not throw until it’s been fixed. (Nakka)

• If the issue is not fixed, let them opponent know, exit the game and let the organiser know. The organiser can update the result.

• Darts Counter - If your opponent’s camera stops working, please let them know and continue until the end of the leg (Also, let the organiser know through the reporting tool on Darts Counter).

• Currently, you will need to pause the game a number of times while letting the organiser know, so they can take action.

By participating in the DartsMatt League, you agree to these terms and conditions. 🎯✨
