What is on offer in the ADC and how do I qualify?

The AMATEUR DARTS CIRCUIT offers many different pathways and opportunities. We have separate ranking tables for each pathway.

The MAIN ranking tables are:

◦ THE VAULT
◦ REGIONAL OPEN RANKING TABLES
◦ UK OPEN RANKING TABLE
◦ IRELAND OPEN RANKING TABLE

Here we will break-down each concept, the opportunities available and the pathway’s to end of year majors.

THE VAULT

◦ Weekly Round-Robin Series
◦ Fast Fire Format
◦ Multiple games for £6 Entry

The VAULT offers opportunities locally, regionally and nationally. Progress from your local venue to the regional finals. Progress from your local bar to the national finals. Ultimately, win spots on the MODUS Super Series and be in with a chance to win £25,000+.

The VAULT ranking points are separate from the ‘Open Ranking Tables’ which feature the Regional and UK/Ireland Tables. The points you earn at a VAULT, stay within the VAULT structure.

THE VAULT NATIONAL FINALS EVERY YEAR, WILL PROVIDE UK & REGIONAL OPEN RANKING POINTS. THIS IS DUE TO THE VAULT FINALS BEING A STRAIGHT KNOCKOUT AND OUR SECOND BIGGEST MAJOR EVENT
