CDC Shootout – Summer Series

Join us at the Toronto Area Open as they host the 2026 CDC Shootout Presented by Cosmo Darts!

This is a double-in/double-out 501 event with a maximum of 64 players – open to all. Registration is on a first-come/first-served basis. This event is part of the CDC Summer Series and non-CDC Tour Card holders will accrue points on the CDC Associates List, which is used to fill spots in CDC main events when there are fewer than 64 Tour Card holders registered.

(Must be a citizen or permanent resident of the US or Canada and have not played a PDC event under another country’s flag in the past five years to accrue points on the Associates List.)

EVENT FORMAT:

• Straight knockout bracket
• 501 DI/DO
• Best-of-7 legs throughout

Registration fee: $50.00 USD (plus registration platform fee) in advance / $60.00 USD / $80.00 CAD onsite for any remaining spots – cash only onsite. The only way to guarantee yourself a spot is to register in advance as this event is likely to sell out!

CDC Bull-shot rule is in effect – the player on the top of the bracket MUST throw for the bull first. No measurement – two darts outside the 25 or 50 result in a re-throw in reverse order, as do ties in the 25/50. The winner of the bull starts the odd-numbered legs and the loser of the bull starts the even-numbered legs.

CDC Dress Code is in effect: Business casual clothes (khakis or dress pants with a collared shirt.) No denim or shorts. Dress shoes or all-black sneakers are acceptable. All variances/accommodations from dress code must be approved by the Tournament Directors ahead of the event. Please email info@champdarts.com to request accommodation for a disability.

There will be NO drinking of alcohol allowed during matches. Players will be allowed to drink only the water provided by the tournament staff while engaged in a match. Alcohol consumption is allowed between matches.

This is a loser-marks event. The first match on each board will be marked/scored by the last player drawn onto that board. Each subsequent match will be marked/scored by the loser of the previous match.

PAYOUTS (in USD):
1st: $800
2nd: $400
Top 4: $200
Top 8: $100 (minimum of 24 players required for top-8 payout)

Please direct any questions to the tournament staff onsite or to info@champdarts.com in advance.

Good luck!
