How The CDC Works

The central core of the Championship Darts Circuit is the “Tour Card” held by top players on the continent who have committed to playing the majority of the weekends on the Tour. Players can earn Tour Cards via the CDC “Q-School” system or, occasionally, via other methods that the company may announce from time-to-time. Only card-holders are able to play on the CDC Main Tour.

In addition to the CDC Tour, Championship Darts Corporation also runs a “Summer Series” of four tournaments – played onsite at partner events across the country – which are open to any North American player on a first-come, first-served basis (with a small number of spots reserved for Tour Card holders).

The Player Journey

Not every darts player has aspirations of stardom. Some wish only for a social evening of league darts with friends once per week, which is great! One of the best things about our game is that there is a place in it for everyone who wishes to participate. However, for North Americans who want to take their game beyond the recreational level, there is a ‘runway’ that has been established by dedicated creators and promoters in their local areas.

Local Team Leagues

The local team league is where most players get introduced to competitive darts. A variety of games is usually played in some combination of singles, pairs, triples and team matches. While there may be different groupings for different skill levels, the main focus tends to be on camaraderie and fellowship.
Local Singles Leagues

Players with more than a passing interest in the game who have begun to develop their game to a more competitive level may seek out better competition. That is often provided in a local singles league. This venue allows people to test their skills one-on-one against the better players in their area and prepare themselves for higher-level tournament competition. The focus is often solely on the game of 501 played over a longer format.
Regional Tours

These tours, led by the “DP Tour” system in the US and various provincial-based circuits in Canada, provide the proving ground by which players can determine whether they’re truly ready for international competition. The focus is exclusively on long-format 501 played in a high-pressure tournament environment.
