How the 8-team darts single elimination bracket is built
8 is a power of two, so the bracket is full and nobody gets a bye. A champion is decided after 7 games in 3 rounds; add the optional 3rd-place match for one more game.
First-round matchups
Standard seeding puts the strongest seed against the weakest: 1 v 8, 4 v 5, 2 v 7, 3 v 6. List your teams strongest-first in the generator and the seeding is applied automatically.
How long does it take?
With 30-minute games, 7 games take about 3.5 hours on one board and 1.8 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.
