Main League Information

!Up to $1800 Added money!

Entry - $78 USD per team

Registration - via Radikal Players website  - Visit the SHOP link on the main navigation bar. 

Teams will be 2 main players and up to 1 alternate.

**Players can play from multiple locations/machines. Players from the same team can even play from different machines/locations during the league and second chance Ranking. However all players on same team will need to play from the same machine during the Online Finals.**

Teams will be sorted by PPD or MPRx8.25 (whichever is higher) of the best 2 players then broken into groups.

NOTE - Teams can sign up is players do not yet have a Rating but if teams have players with no Radikal Ratings at the end of registration they will play in a group with the highest level players. 

Teams that start with just 2 players and want to add a third after the league start: The new player must have both PPD and MPR and the new team average (best 2 players) cannot be higher than the worst team in the group ahead of you. New alternate players must be added to the team before week 6 starts. 

Games can only be closed by players in the same group.

Game will be Cricket 200 - 20rds and 501 OI/MO - 20rds - 50/50 Bull:  alternating weeks.

Name of the competition at the machine: RDUSA-DBL (GXX) - XX = your group number

Average of your 5 best games will be used each week. Minimum of 5 games and Max of 20. A player who plays the max games in a week will also earn 5 additional FREE games (called Kers). Players can use their Kers for free games in that week or save them to use in another week later in the league. You can accumulate your Kers and use them anytime you wish but you must also play the max games in the week you wish to use them. Players can also transfer their kers to other players on the same team.

How to use Kers

Each team is allowed to have a max of 2 matches during the league start early. If a match's beginning date is changed to start earlier kers won in the later overlapping week cannot be used in the earlier week. If you need a match to be open early please send an email to usradikalsupport@radikaldarts.com with your group number and the week you wish to play early.

Players will earn 1 point for each player on the other team they are better than. Maximum points per match per week are 4.

In case of a tie in averages for 2 or more players in a match (best 2 games) the system looks at game 3 then 4 then 5 etc until someone is better.

Teams where all players play less than the minimum games (5) in a week 2 times - will be disqualified. If a team is disqualified in the first 6 matches -  all matches for the entire league will be set to a 0-4 score. If a team is disqualified in one of the last 2 weeks, only the weeks they were disqualified for will be set 0-4. Prior weeks will remain unchanged. Teams can still earn their 4 points in the last 2 weeks against disqualified teams by playing the minimum number of games for the match. If your match shows your opponent has been disqualified from the league your team does not need to play games for that week (except the last 2 weeks - see above)), points will be awarded accordingly after the match is closed. Not playing your games against a disqualified team will not count against you as a missed match. You can still play your games to earn your free kers for the week.

In case of a tie in points at the end of the league - the team with more total matches won will be considered higher. If total matches won is still a tie, then the head to head matches of the tied teams will be looked at. Whichever team won more points head to head will be considered higher. If that is still a tie the team with the player having the best league average will advance.

Top 6 teams from each group will qualify for the Online Final.
