I want to start a VAULT at my venue / local. How do I do that?
Brilliant — that’s how every VAULT venue started. Get the venue owner’s go-ahead first, then fill in the venue form with: venue name and address, region, the day of the week you’d run, your preferred start time, and confirmation the venue meets the requirements (4 tournament-standard boards, well-lit, fixed oches, 4 tablets, strong WiFi, and someone willing to organise the night). We’ll take it from there — ADC handles the event creation, scheduling and DartsAtlas setup.
Prize-fund cash contribution on the day of each event, plus the boards/tablets/WiFi setup and a designated organiser. Kickback details are confirmed with you directly by your regional ADC country director when you set up hosting.
Yes — venues can host multiple weekly events, each a separate entry in the calendar.
Even if you don’t make the knockouts, a full group gives you 5 matches — guaranteed darts for your entry fee.
With 4 boards running simultaneously and short formats (best of 3 / best of 5), a full 24-player event typically runs through in one evening. Groups play first, knockouts follow straight after.
The event still runs — it’s just tiered BRONZE or SILVER for points depending on turnout. Fewer players also means a better shot at a deep run, though for fewer points.
Yes — if an event doesn’t reach the minimum entries needed to run, it will be cancelled.
Sanctions escalate: Verbal warning → 1-week suspension → 1-series suspension → 1-year suspension. Nobody wants to use them — turn up, play your games, mark when it’s your turn, and you’ll never hear about them.
