HOW TO QUALIFY
Games:
You must have been NDA sanctioned this fall and have 96 games played between March 1, 2025 and March 6, 2026 in an NDA sanctioned league to qualify for TEAM DART. If you play in a Midstate Amusements NDA sanctioned league, you were sanctioned in Fall of 2025. If you want to use a PPD TOC Remote dart league to qualify, they do not sanction you. You were not automatically sanctioned by us if you are getting your games in through a PPD TOC remote league, and you MUST NOTIFY US TO SANCTION YOU MANUALLY BY DECEMBER 1st otherwise you will not be eligible to play.
Equipment & Location:
NDA sanctions based on whose equipment you play on for league. If you’re playing remote at a non-Midstate bar, your games for NDA will go through that operator. You will need to sign up through them for NDA Team Dart (and Regionals and the monthly remote tournament). Please check with us to see where you are sanctioned through if you are not sure.
Deadline & Late Entries:
If you won’t have all 96 games until after the SIGN UP DEADLINE of February 27, 2026 but before the GAMES DEADLINE of March 6, 2026, that’s fine! The paperwork and entree fee MUST be at our Fond du Lac office by 5pm on Friday, February 27th. Late entries will have a $25 late fee per event for anything brought to our office after Friday, February 27th.
*Round 2 round robin has been replaced with bracket play. For open events the 32 teams that normally go to day 2 of round robin now go to the 32 team finals bracket. We will play the final bracket to a point on the chart those teams will finish the finals bracket day 3.

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 2025-2026 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, 2025 to March 6, 2026. 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:
This is 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).
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.

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:
01 Cricket Open in/Open out format
8 foot foul line
15 ½” target face
Full 50 point bull’s eye 8 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.
