DARTS
Tournament Brackets & Ladders
INDEX:
Darts League Bracket
Set Ups
Bracket Schedules for
4 to 8 Teams
For setting up Darts
Leagues & Round-Robin Tournaments.
To use: assign each dart team a number, 1, 2, 3, etc. To
be fair, draw these number assignments from a hat, or other
random method. Note that if there is an odd number of teams
(3, 5, 7, etc.) then one team will have a "Bye" each night..
that is, they will not play that night. Leagues should
always try for an even number of teams per division to
reduce the number of Byes.
Each column represents one night of
darts league play. For example, using the 4-team bracket, on the
first night of league, Team 1 plays Team 2, and Team 3 plays
Team 4. Go to the next column for the second night of league
play, etc. Repeat the Bracket as many times as desired to
make the season last longer.
For Darts Tournament use, the same method
applies, except that all rounds are played immediately, one
after another. For Singles play, each number would represent
an individual darter, instead of a team.

The number sequence used to construct these
Darts League Brackets is fairly obvious, and can be easily extended to
work for almost any number of teams. However, most leagues
assign teams to Divisions of 8 teams or less, to allow for
different skill levels. Also, with more than 8 teams, the
league seasons start to get pretty long, assuming that the
Bracket is played at least twice per season.
