All tournament players must:
Be at least 18 years of age and comply with regulations of local, state, and federal laws in which they compete in leagues. Prize vouchers may only be cashed on-site for those 21 years of age.
Be sanctioned by the NDA for the 2024-2025 Membership Year and play in leagues ran by an NDA Charter Holder in good standing and in compliance with all league– sanctioning guidelines. (Only league systems that have every player sanctioned are considered sanctioned leagues.) Compete during regular league play on qualified machines owned and operated by an NDA charter.
Have played a minimum of 96 league games between March 1, 2024 to February 14, 2025. Qualifying games must be obtained in no less than eight (8) separate weeks of league play. [League games can consist of ‘01 and/or Cricket with a minimum of 24 games in the format the player is entering (‘01 or Cricket)]
Be entered in the tournament by the NDA Charter Holder on whose machine(s) they have completed the minimum game requirements for tournament entry.
Have a NDA player– skill rating using the Points Per Dart (PPD) and/ or Marks Per Round (MPR) performance rating system for the event in which they are entered, to be classified. These performance ratings require a player to compete in 24 games in a single season for that event. Minimum time to obtain a player-skill rating is eight (8) separate league nights in eight (8) separate weeks in the same league season. Players who have played 96 league games but do not have a valid PPD or MPR will be classified as a Master-Rated player and the Charter Holder will be billed for a Master Entry Certificate.
All tournament teams must:
Choose to compete in open, master or ladies masters but cannot compete in more than one for a single.
Declare a full team roster, including substitutes, when entry certificates are completed.
Must play for the same Charter Holder and form a tournament team meeting the above criteria.
Alternates for Doubles, Triples, and Teams:
Teams may use an alternate from the same Charter Holder as long as the alternate player has competed in the same league format as the regular players. Regular team alternate should be entered on the regular player certificate.
Violations of the above will void entries and be non-refundable.
In addition to meeting the player eligibility requirements listed on the previously, players must also comply with the following:
1. All players must be entered with their highest known player-skill rating, from league, for the qualifying period: This is the responsibility of your charter holder. Accuracy of player abilities are dependent upon the proper submission and documentation from your Charter Holder.
2. The highest known player skill rating is determined by taking the highest player-skill rating (PPD/MPR) rating from a league season, including the current league season (remember this must be a minimum of 24 games in the format that you are entering in no less than eight (8) weeks of league play in the same league
season).
For Example, Pete played in the following leagues for ACME Vending:
Summer 2024 ending mid-AugustPPD 23.50Fall 2024 ending mid-DecemberPPD 25.50Winter/Spring 2025PPD 25.75
(Winter/Spring 2025 - In play with 24 games over 8 weeks at time of submissions)
The highest known player– skill rating for this player for Tournament entry would be the 25.75 PPD from the Winter/Spring 2025 season currently in session. When providing player skills, the figure should be carried out two digits past the decimal.
Do not enter performance skills from a previous Team Dart. The system will automatically review Team Dart skills and will use that skill if it is the highest. Only enter the highest league ending statistic.
3. Player ability assessment may be determined by the tournament committee by any of the following criteria:
Player– skill rating (as described previously).
Review of previous NDA tournament performance, specifically but not limited to Team Dart 2024.
Examination of overall local league ratings.
Known ability.
All decisions made by the Tournament Committee are final.
4. Master– rated criteria:
Players with a skill rating of 35 PPD or 3.8 MPR will be considered Masters Players and will play in Masters Singles events and no lower than level 1 in Doubles events. Individuals/teams that meet/exceed the following team sums will be considered Masters Teams.

6.5 MPR
Mixed Triples Combo10 MPR
Master rating may also be awarded to players who:
Are without verifiable player skill rating (e.g. Double in/ Double out Statistics). These players will play in Masters only.
Placed in the money in an NDA Master’s level event within the last year.
Show “known” ability by top placement in an NDA manufacturer sponsor’s major tournament. Pro lists will be reviewed, but not automatically placed into Masters.
Are “dominant players” in either soft or steel-tip darting.
No Master– rated player will be permitted to participate below level one.
Two Master– rated players on ANY team must play at the Master’s level.
For mixed Triples Combo, both the Open Cricket and ‘01 player rating will be used to determine
Master-rated players.
Ladies that choose to register for non- “Ladies Masters” events (singles, doubles, mixed
doubles, and team) will be classified based on the Master Criteria.
5. Standardized league results are the only accepted statistics. All recorded player-skill ratings are achieved using the actual darts thrown. In addition, the following are standard formats for game play to calculate a player skill– rating:
01CricketOpen in/Open out format
8 foot foul line
15 ½” target face
Full 50 point bull’s eye8 foot foul line
15 ½” target face
Split 50/25 point bull’s eye
Consistent tracking of player-skill ratings for each event is required. Submission of these ratings must show the cumulative accomplishments of each player. Failure to properly track or use of non- standard formats (e.g. Double in/ Double Out) will force a player to be moved to a Masters Event.
6. Double In/ Double Out Statistics
Fairness and competitive brackets are very important to players. Help NDA keep Team Dart fair and fun for all players by ensuring that you are submitting the correct stats for your ‘01 players.
Double in/ Double Out (Master In/ Master Out) is not a standard format for ‘01 qualification. While DI/DO games can count toward the minimum 96 game requirement, statistics from these games CANNOT BE USED to qualify players for ‘01 events. If a player has only DI/DO stats, they do not have a valid skill rating and will play in the highest level of Masters. If a player has DI/DO stats and Open In/ Open out stats, they must be kept separate and the player must have at least 24 games of OI/OO games over 8 separate weeks of play.
