Your local League - hows it work.

Around here, we have teams of 9.
League matches are played best of 9. 3 doubles and 6 singles.
Doubles are best of 3 legs, singles best of 1 (stupid I know).

Knockout is best of 19. 2 legs home and away with the same format as above, if it goes 9-9 theres on final doubles game with one of the pairs from each team playing a best of 3 to decide the winner.

Personally I hate the system as 1 leg in the singles is not enough. think it should be best of 3 in each. Plus it leaves no room for draws in the group stage.

I think here in roscommon, it is 7 players and best of 3 all singles.

Double Top

in the Borough league it's 8 games best of 3, all singles. if you win five games you've won the match but play all 8 games

Evolution Enter

We're 8 singles, best of 5, play all eight games

Rushtown Darts league is 6 singles matches on the night

each singles match is best of 3

so there can be a 3-3 draw on the night or as big as a 6-0 win

its been interesting first season, we've won the league, so its been fun being regularly on a winning team

Double Top

think thats the best way of doing it. best of three is too short you can't really get into it.

Have not played in the league for a good few years but I know at the moment its 9 games, 6 singles, 3 doubles and all the best of 3 legs. Every game is worth a point so you can get all 9 points if things go well( when I last played it was just 2 pts for overall winner on night)

Now this new system backfired on my local just last week as the A team were playing the B team and A team won 7-2, at the end of the night signing the sheets both teams agreed to write down it was 9-0 but unknown to them 1 of the players was texting the rival team how things were going, he had left by the time they agreed on this 9-0. They were found out and lost all 9 points:D.
I think its a bad scoring method as 2 teams from the 1 pub playing each other probably do that often

In North Westmeath it's 8 games, best of 3 legs each, 1 point for every game you win.

Our league is as follows:

Teams are made up of 4 players. Only one sub allowed to play througout the league for any team.

First to eight games over two nights (home and away) With 7 games played each night. If it is 7 - 7 an extra tie break game is played.

Games are played in the following order:

Game 1: Team game 1001 One leg.
Game 2: Singles 501 Best of 3
Game 3: Singles 501 Best of 3
Game 4: Doubles 701 Best of 3
Game 5: Doubles 701 Best of 3
Game 6: Singles 501 Best of 3
Game 7: Singles 501. Best of 3

Each team player gets to play singles and a double games.

I point awardes for each game.

The same format is played in the return match. The extra deciding game is another team game of 1001 (one leg). If the match is won before all games are played the teams usally play out the remaining singles for fun so everyone gets a game. Probally not much fun for the losing team.

The interesting thing is that it is a KNOCKOUT LEAGUE. If you lose in the first week you are out until the next league starts up. (there is a losers group though).

Once it gets to the last four (semi final stage) the same format is played out but it is a race to 5 points played over one night only. Singles are increased to the best of 5 with the doubles still played over best of 3 legs.

If the score is 4 - 3 after the seven games reverse doubles are played to see who gets to five points first. A coin is tossed to decide which team can nominate which of their double pairings are going to play. The other team has to send out their doubles pairing that did not paly these players earlier in the night. Doubles are again best of 3 701's

If the score is 4 -4 after this game the other two players on each team play one last deciding doubles game (again best of 3 701's) to decide he winner.

The final is palyed over the same format as the semi final again over one night.

I hope this is not to confussing.

North City Darts League is 8 games of singles all best of 3legs.
4-4 draw is a fairly common thing..

In the Boho/Derrygonnelly league in North-West Fermanagh we have 6 players on a team with an open draw 6 singles and 3 doubles. There was four teams in the league this year and we hope to have 5 next near. 2 points for a win, no draws as it is best of nine and each singles and doubles game is best of 3 legs.

If a team leads 5-0 we still play out the nine games incase score difference is needed.
