ABOUT THE CDC
The Championship Darts Circuit is North America’s professional darts tour! Our players showcase their talent in longformat tournaments held across the United States and Canada in pursuit of over $110,000 (USD) in prize money and the chance to play in the PDC World Darts Championship, World Cup of Darts and U.S. Darts Masters. Our ultimate goal is to increase the visibility of the sport across the continent and create the next North American world champion!

TOUR CARDS AND THE Q-SCHOOL SERIES
The Championship Darts Circuit is built around a Tour Card system similar to that in use at the PDC. For 2023, all Tour Card holders receive the opportunity to register directly into the main events on the Tour. The Q-School series provides participants a chance to earn their Tour Card AND paid entry for 2023 CDC tour events.
