Cricket MPR of 2.9 or lower? Start with Vegas Neutralizer.
We recommend Vegas Challenge Neutralizer for players with a Cricket MPR of 2.9 or lower. Its handicapped format brings a wider range of eligible players together for competitive matches. Open leagues remain available if you prefer that format.
This is a recommendation, not an eligibility cutoff. Neutralizer eligibility is reviewed separately using each player’s verified 01 PPDA and ADA requirements; both doubles partners qualify individually.

All SFD leagues are flex leagues
Vegas Challenge and Economy Express both offer flexible scheduling. You and your opponent arrange each week’s match at a mutually convenient time, instead of playing on one fixed league night. Doubles teams coordinate a time that works for all four players.
Complete and report your weekly match by Sunday at noon Eastern / 11 a.m. Central. Any change outside that deadline must follow the league’s rescheduling rules.
Choose your at-home darts platform
Strike Force Darts offers ADA-sanctioned online leagues for two separate player groups. Choose the setup you use at home, then compare the league formats and fees below.

Economy Express Trophy Dash
Nationals eligibility. Pro status. No Vegas League required.Economy leagues let you qualify for ADA Nationals or maintain your Nationals eligibility without playing in a Vegas League. Pros can also use qualifying Economy Open league play to maintain their Pro status.

ADA’s published standards require at least four individual Open 501 games in each calendar quarter and at least forty in the year, within the same dart type, along with the applicable average, membership and conduct requirements. Neutralizer scores do not replace that Open-play requirement. Check ADA’s current Pro requirements.
Economy Express — season and match rules
Economy Express is a Trophy Dash league with 14 regular-season weeks followed by 2 playoff weeks. Groups have 8 singles players or 8 doubles teams (16 players). Dues are $7.77 per player per regular-season week, with no playoff fees and no cash payouts. First place receives a trophy; second and third place each receive a medal.

Economy replacements and group review
There are no substitutes. Permanent replacements normally enter by Week 7; Hope may approve a later exception. An approved replacement assumes the original player’s place and wins, including playoff eligibility. Personal performance statistics remain separate. Compatible eligible players already signed up are considered first.
A dropped player forfeits their payments, subject to management’s exceptional-refund policy below. The replacement owes remaining unpaid league fees and is not charged again for future weeks already prepaid by the outgoing player.
If a group is still short 14 days after its first paid application, Hope reviews it. Paid players may wait or request transfer to a compatible group; refunds are not automatic. Each replacement receives a full 48-hour payment window. An incomplete roster does not start.
How to join an at-home darts league
- Register with your own ADA number, email and player information. Each doubles partner must register and pay separately using a different email address.
- Pay your first two weeks upfront through secure Stripe checkout. Sending form details alone does not complete a paid application.
- Hope reviews eligibility, statistics and placement. A league starts only after a complete compatible roster is approved and every required player has paid.
- SFD confirms your league calendar before play begins. Your signup payment covers Weeks 1 and 2.
- Hope enters the completed roster into ADA. The home team enters and finalizes the match scores through the ADA website by Sunday at noon Eastern / 11 a.m. Central. Both sides should check the results against their score sheets.
For players age 55 and over55+ League
A dedicated league option for players who are at least 55 when registering. Singles and Doubles groups are organized by scoring platform, format, available flight placement and registration demand.
Players receive the same organized online match experience, flexible scheduling and ADA reporting support. Open and eligible Neutralizer scoring options may be offered when a complete compatible group is available.

Neutralizer Handicapped Leagues
Vegas Challenge Neutralizer is our recommended choice for players with a Cricket MPR of 2.9 or lower. Handicaps allow a wider range of eligible players to compete together. Open remains an option for players who prefer it.
Choose Open scoring or Neutralizer Handicapped Leagues within the available Vegas and Economy Express offerings. Neutralizer Handicapped Leagues use the 501/Cricket sequence with Neutralizer handicaps and retain the corresponding league fees, season length, group size and awards.
Each player must have a verified individual 01 points-per-dart average (PPDA) from 10 through 30, inclusive. No player above 30 PPDA is eligible. Both doubles partners must qualify separately; a team average cannot make an ineligible partner qualify. All players, including Open players, provide individual 01 PPDA, Cricket MPR and their league statistics sources for administrator review.
Open and Neutralizer Handicapped League groups remain separate. Use the approved handicap chart or assigned scoring settings. Read the 501/Cricket rules supplement and download the handicapped regular-season and playoff sheets.
ADA Nationals: Open versus Neutralizer
SFD flight levels do not carry over to ADA Nationals. Players qualifying through an SFD flighted Open league should expect Open Division competition, with no separate SFD skill flights and a mixture of skill levels. To enter the handicapped Neutralizer division at ADA Nationals, players must play in a Neutralizer Handicapped league and earn the required qualifying Neutralizer scores. Flighted Open league play alone does not qualify a player for Neutralizer Nationals events. ADA's other event eligibility requirements also apply.
ADA determines final eligibility and placement under the rules for the tournament year. Read ADA's published 2026 Nationals eligibility requirements; 2027 requirements must be checked when available.
Cricket Flight Reference
- Gold — 4.00+ Cricket MPR: open in, double out, split bull.
- Silver — 3.25–3.99: open in, double out, split bull.
- Bronze — 2.50–3.24: open in, double out, split bull.

At-home darts league questions
Can I play from home without a local darts league?
Yes. Strike Force Darts organizes online at-home leagues using Granboard for soft tip and DartConnect for steel tip. Eligibility, ADA membership and a suitable home setup are required. You arrange weekly matches with your opponent rather than traveling to a regular league venue.
What does it cost to join?
Vegas Challenge dues are $25 per player per regular-season week, with $50 covering Weeks 1 and 2 paid at signup. Economy Express dues are $7.77 per player per regular-season week, with $15.54 paid at signup. ADA membership and any required platform membership are separate. Review each offering above for season length, awards and full terms.
When will my league start?
Vegas Challenge needs 10 approved, paid singles players or 10 complete doubles teams in a compatible group. Economy Express needs 8 singles players or 8 complete doubles teams. Groups are separated by offering, platform, flight and format. SFD confirms your calendar after the required roster is ready; sending a form alone does not reserve an active paid place.
Do I need a doubles partner?
You can choose singles if you want to enter individually. For doubles, each partner submits their own registration with a separate email address and pays their own first two weeks. Both partners must meet the relevant eligibility requirements.
What does ADA-sanctioned mean?
Our leagues operate within the American Darters Association framework. Membership, approved league formats and properly reported games matter for ADA participation and event eligibility. Playing in a league does not automatically qualify a player for every ADA event; the applicable event requirements still apply.

League support and payment details
We’re here to help you get ready for your next match. Find payment and scoring guidance below, or contact us with questions.
Payments and match scoring
For new SFD leagues, pay Weeks 1 and 2 during signup. Before each match, every participating player needs to be current on dues for that week and all earlier regular-season weeks: both players in Singles and all four players in Doubles.
Use the new-league scoring entry in Player Resources. It automatically checks everyone’s dues before opening ADA scoring; the payment check has no manual waiver or bypass. Please use this entry for new-league scoring rather than signing in directly to ADA.
Complete and submit your assigned online SFD sheet for league records. Saved sheets remain available to view and download. Saving an SFD sheet and entering the score in ADA are separate steps.
Legacy leagues 122–131, including League 131 — Ladies, continue under Hope’s existing system until their seasons end. The published no-additional-playoff-fee provisions remain in effect.
Need help getting ready? Contact strikeforcedarts@gmail.com.
Players who withdraw, quit or fail to complete their league forfeit amounts already paid, with no refund. If SFD cancels a league or cannot provide a purchased league service, eligible payments are issued as nontransferable league credit for future league payments. Credit expires 180 days after issue. Cash refunds are provided only when required by law or approved jointly by Hope Masterson and Jerry Joseph.
Discounts, promotional offers and league credits cannot be combined. Customers choose one eligible benefit at checkout.

Match Recording and Cheating Complaints — All SFD Leagues
Players are encouraged to screen-record their matches or save downloadable match video when their equipment or platform supports it. Let the other participants know before recording. Keep the original, unedited recording, with enough match context to show the players, board and disputed action clearly. Do not assume the scoring app automatically records or stores match video.
A player submitting a cheating allegation must provide supporting video evidence for management review. Send the original video or a private viewing link to strikeforcedarts@gmail.com, identifying the league, players, match date and relevant timestamps. A score sheet, screenshot, unusual statistic or suspicion alone does not establish cheating. Report concerns privately; do not publicly accuse another player. Management reviews the evidence before determining whether cheating occurred. This video requirement applies to cheating allegations, not ordinary score-correction or technical-support requests.
