2025 Darts Tournament of Champions
To play in a Finale at the on-site TOC, Wednesday, October 15, 2025, a player must be awarded a
Qualifier Voucher and compete in a Remote Qualifier prior to the on-site TOC. Each player’s
highest Qualifier finish decides if they earn a spot in 1 of the 4 Finale’s.
o Finale Placement: The highest placing 512 Men and 256 Women from the qualifiers earn a
place in one of the 4 Finale Levels at the TOC.
▪ Elite Finale
▪ Master Finale
▪ Pro Finale
▪ Semi-Pro Finale
o The highest finishing 4 players from each Qualifier bracket are guaranteed placement
into the highest Finale level, Elite Finale.
▪ Once a player places within the top 4 of a Qualifier bracket, they may not compete
in additional Qualifier Events.
▪ Players who do not place in the top 4 of a Qualifier bracket are welcome to play in
additional Qualifiers if they have the Vouchers to do so.
Each Voucher enables a player to participate in 1 Qualifier. Players can only
register for 1 Qualifier at a time.
o Eligibility Requirements
▪ Vouchers can be earned in 2 different ways:
Awarded by a Vendor that is a Paid PPD Partner
o Each Vendor may set their own standards, which may be higher than those
established by the PPD. Each Vendor may set other requirements specific
to the locations that are selected to participate in the Qualifier events.
Awarded by PPD based on a player’s placement on the 2025 All-Star Rank List
o After the completion of the 2025 TOC Year PPD awards Qualifier Vouchers
to the top 300 men and 150 women on the 2025 All-Star Rank List that
meet the skill/game requirements.
o All-Star Vouchers begin to be awarded by July 18, 2025. All-Star Voucher
holders that fail to register for the last Qualifier event (August 23, 2025) by
August 13, 2025 forfeit their All-Star Voucher which is then passed to the
next person of that gender on the All-Star Rank list by points. Contact
attempts will be made via text message to the phone number within the
player’s PPD Player Account for each All-Star Voucher recipient.
Responses must be received in a timely manner to allow staff to move
down the list and ensure all All-Star Vouchers are used.
▪ If brackets do not fill by registration close morning for the final
Qualifier, PPD staff will contact the next eligible player in line from the
All-Star Rank List until the final bracket is full. PPD staff will only
award Vouchers to eligible players who guarantee they can
immediately register and play in the August 23, 2025 event.
▪ Once awarded a Voucher, a player must compete in a Qualifier. A player cannot
play in a Qualifier without a Voucher. A player cannot play in a Finale event without
participating in a Qualifier. Each player’s highest finish in a Qualifier decides if they
place into a Finale at the on-site TOC and if so, which Finale level. Qualifier
participation does not guarantee a spot in a Finale.
Each Voucher is good for 1 Qualifier.
o Players who do not place in the top 4 positions of their Qualifier are
welcome to play additional Qualifiers if they have the vouchers to do so.
▪ To be eligible to receive a Qualifier Voucher a player must meet the following
requirements:
