Darts Competition

Double elimination darts

In double elimination you're only out after losing twice, so everyone plays at least two matches. Perfect for a pub night.

Winners and losers bracket

Everyone starts in the winners bracket. Lose there and you drop into the losers bracket for a second chance. Lose again and you're out.

The final

The winner of the winners bracket meets the winner of the losers bracket in the final.

How many matches?

Because everyone except the champion must lose twice, there are roughly twice as many matches as in single knockout. Plan more time or play fewer legs per match.

Frequently asked questions

Is it hard to keep track of?

On paper, yes. Darts Competition tracks both brackets automatically.
