How the 5-team darts double elimination bracket is built
5 is not a power of two, so the bracket is padded to 8 slots and the top 3 seeds skip round one with a bye. Everyone gets two lives: losers from the winners bracket drop into a 4-round losers bracket. The grand final is 8 games in, and if the losers-bracket finalist wins it a reset game is played, for 9 games in total.
First-round matchups
Standard seeding puts the strongest seed against the weakest: 4 v 5. Seeds 1–3 wait for round two. List your teams strongest-first in the generator and the seeding is applied automatically.
How long does it take?
With 30-minute games, 9 games take about 4.5 hours on one board and 2.3 hours on two — but rounds can't overlap, so the last rounds always run one game at a time. Pro's scheduler enforces that ordering when it assigns dates, start times and boards.
Darts rules that affect the schedule
Pub darts leagues play best-of-3 or best-of-5 legs of 501. Round robins are common for weekly leagues; knockout cups use single elimination.
Tie-breakers: Wins, then leg difference, then head-to-head.
Organizer tip: Use 30-minute slots and one field per board.
