Division Information and Breakdowns
Here's a breakdown of the divisions based on player averages:
( more information below, by clicking on the Division Logo )
Premier Division: 75 and above
Division 1: 65-74.99
Division 2: 55-64.99
Division 3: 45-54.99
Division 4: 44.99 and below

DPFL Challenger Series: For those who didn't make the playoffs, there's another chance with our Challenger Series:
Challenger Series ONE: 65.00 and above avg.
Challenger Series TWO: 64.99 and below avg.
Eligibility Criteria: To qualify for a division, all you need is a DartConnect Competition Card. However, if you don't have one, don't worry. DPFL also accommodates soft tip averages or other steel tip applications. If your average can't be verified, DPFL might move you to the closest division or will move you one division up to prevent sandbagging (underperforming deliberately).
Previous Season Participation: If you participated in DPFL Season 9, your division placement in Season 10 would be determined by your last season's average or the higher average (previous season or competition card). This rule is in place to prevent sandbagging, protect the players, and encourage the improvement of your game. If you won or if you were in the Top 4 in the last Season you'll be automatically placed a division higher!
In the Premier Division, you'll find the crème de la crème of darts players.
This is where the elite compete, with names like Matt Campbell, Danny Baggish, Jules van Dongen, Noel Malicdem, Lourence Ilagan, Alexis Toylo, Alex Spellman, Michael Esquibel, Gary Mawson, Florian Hempel, Jim Long, Jacob Taylor, Steve Warnock, Benjamin Pratnemer, and Pero Ljubic and many more!
These titans of the oche regularly shoot averages above 85! 💥
Compete with the Best from North America and Worldwide 🌎
Our Premier Division isn't just a league; it's a battleground for the world's best, including multiple PDC players. If you think you have what it takes, and your DartConnect Competition Average is 70.00 or higher, this guarantees intense competition for everyone, from aspiring players to seasoned pros!
