Register for the tournament
Once logged in, go to Registration and pick the tournament you want:
- 1v1 = head-to-head, one against one
- Multiplayer = 3 or 4 player matches
Click "Register" and you're done. You'll get a confirmation email.
If the tournament is full, you're waitlisted. You'll be notified if a spot opens.
If you enable push notifications, you'll be alerted as soon as registration opens for the next tournament — so you never miss your spot.

On tournament night
Come to Au Bavarois (Annecy) at tournament time. Here's what happens:
- Matches are shown on the bar screens
- When it's your turn, your name appears big on the screen
- A target number is displayed — that's where you play
- You also get a notification on your phone (if enabled)
Enable push notifications on your phone! You'll get an alert when it's your turn — no need to watch the screen all the time. Enable them in your profile or via the button at the top of the site.

During the match
When your match is called, two ways to access your match sheet:
- Option 1 — Push notification: if you have push enabled, you get an alert on your phone. Tap it and you're taken straight to your match page.
- Option 2 — QR code: a QR code is shown on the bar screen. Scan it with your phone and the match page opens.
Once on your match page:
- Go to the target shown and play your game
- When done, enter the result on your phone (who won, ranking...)
- Both players must validate — in case of disagreement, the organizer decides
No smartphone? No worries — let the organizer know, they'll enter the result for you.

After the match
Once the result is validated, everything updates in real time:
- Your season points go up — that's the main ranking
- Your ELO evolves after each match — you'll see your gain or loss directly on the bar screen and on your phone
- You earn XP and level up — 100 levels with progressive ranks (from Apprentice to God of Darts)
- You can unlock badges — over 40 to collect!
- If you lose, no biggie — come back next week! And if you stack losses, you unlock the "worst of" badges (it's fun, not mean)
The tournament runs as double elimination: you're allowed one loss before being eliminated.
The ELO is a strength score used in chess and esports. The more strong players you beat, the faster you rise. Beating the #1 pays much more than beating the last. The ELO is reset each year with a special ranking and titles (Grandmaster, Expert, etc.).

Go further
Once the basic flow is mastered, lots more awaits you:
- Ranked matches: challenge another player outside tournaments, anytime. Winner gains ELO, loser loses some. 1v1, 3 or 4 players, public or private. From the "Ranked matches" menu.
- Season Battle Pass: 10 challenges to complete over the season (play 10 tournaments, win 5 matches, etc.). Each challenge earned grants XP. Completing 10/10 unlocks an exclusive "Season Pass" badge. Visible in your profile.
- Monthly challenge: a unique objective changes each month (most wins, best streak, best winrate, etc.). Winner gets 500 XP. Dedicated leaderboard on the "Monthly challenge" page.
- Your rival: the player you face most often appears on your home page (H2H, win rate, last encounter). Aim to win more than them!
- Your collection: team titles, avatar frames, call animations, overlay effects... to unlock as you progress. See "My account > My collection".
3-axis progression: You rank up in Level + Prestige (lifetime XP), in :elo Rank (current strength, Bronze → Challenger), and accumulate your Seasonal Palmares (place + max :elo rank per season). All three progress independently.
Frequently asked questions
What is ELO?▶
ELO is a level score used in chess and esports. Everyone starts at 1200. If you beat someone stronger, you gain a lot. If you lose to someone weaker, you lose a lot. Reset each year.
I've never played darts, can I join?▶
Of course! Tournaments are open to all levels. It's a chance to discover in a friendly atmosphere. The system adapts matches so everyone has fun.
Is it paid?▶
Signing up on the site is free. For any tournament participation fees (if applicable), check with the organizer on site.
I don't have a smartphone, can I still play?▶
Yes! A smartphone is handy to scan QR codes and enter results, but the organizer can do it for you. Sign up online from your computer at home.
What is "double elimination"?▶
It's the tournament format: as long as you haven't lost twice, you stay in. After a first loss, you drop to the "losers bracket" where you can still fight to come back.
How long does a tournament last?▶
Depends on the number of players, usually 2 to 3 hours. Matches run in parallel on multiple targets, so it moves fast.
What are badges?▶
Badges are rewards you unlock while playing: "First win", "3 wins in a row", "Loyal" (10 tournaments), etc. They show on your profile and next to your name in rankings.
Can I see my statistics?▶
Yes! Log in and go to "My profile". You'll find your ranking, your ELO, your wins, your badges and your match history.
What is a ranked match?▶
A ranked match is a 1v1, 3 or 4 player match you start with other players OUTSIDE an official tournament. Winner gains ELO points, loser loses some. Perfect for playing when and with whom you want, while keeping your rank fresh.
What is the Battle Pass?▶
The Battle Pass is a list of 10 challenges to complete during the season (play X tournaments, win Y matches, do Z ranked matches...). Each completed challenge grants XP. Finishing all 10 unlocks an exclusive "Season Pass" badge. Accessible from your profile.
What is the monthly challenge?▶
Each month, a unique objective is proposed to all players: most wins, longest streak, best winrate, etc. A dedicated leaderboard shows the top 10. The monthly winner gets an XP bonus and sometimes a special badge.
What is "Your rival" on my home page?▶
Your rival is the player you face most often (in tournaments or ranked matches). If you've played 5+ matches with a balanced win ratio, the rival widget appears on your home: H2H score, win rate, last encounter. Try to take the upper hand!
How does the 3-axis progression work?▶
Three independent progressions: (1) Your <strong>Level + Prestige</strong> rises with lifetime XP (100 levels, 5 prestiges, infinite Paragon after). (2) Your <strong>ELO Rank</strong> reflects your current strength (Bronze → Silver → Gold → Platinum → Diamond → Master → Grand Master → Challenger) with I/II/III divisions. (3) Your <strong>Seasonal Palmares</strong> records each season: ranking place + max ELO rank reached. All three appear on your profile page.
