Find your Strike Force league

Coming soon — registration and online payments are not open yet.

Choose your league, format and flight. Once registration opens, sign up without paying. When your approved group is full, we invite each player to pay before the league starts.

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 dart type

  • Steel Tip: score matches using the DartConnect app. Every player must maintain their own active paid DartConnect Premium membership, including each doubles partner. Membership is paid separately by the player and is not included in league dues.
  • Soft Tip — Granboard: score matches using the GranPlayer or GranDarts app.

Steel Tip and Granboard players are placed in separate leagues. Follow the league instructions for reporting results to ADA.

Players may enter multiple leagues and win and collect Championship prizes in each, subject to each league’s requirements.

Read the confirmed Vegas Challenge league plan. The final complete rulebook is under review; registration and new-league payments remain closed.

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 Economy league play to maintain their Pro status.

Applicable ADA eligibility, participation and league-reporting requirements still apply.

14 weeks · $7.77 per player per week · DartConnect scoring

Affordable Singles and Doubles competition for players who want regular play and recorded statistics without a cash-prize league. Singles needs 8 players; Doubles needs 8 complete teams (16 players). Triples is not offered.

Your first payment covers Weeks 1 and 2 when your approved group is ready. An optional full-season savings offer appears at checkout before you choose your payment. After the first two weeks are paid, remaining weeks are charged at the regular per-player weekly rate.

Play 501 and Cricket using your approved flight settings. Nationals qualification and Pro status depend on meeting ADA requirements and having your league play properly reported.

Economy Express — season and match rules

Groups may start year-round after approval and payment of everyone’s opening dues. The weekly match deadline is Sunday noon Eastern / 11 a.m. Central.

Use DartConnect and the approved 11-game regular-season score sheet. Games 1, 2, 5, 7, 10 and 11 are 501; the other games are Cricket. Both doubles partners play every game. Use the flight settings listed below.

Standings are determined by individual games won. Break ties using the most 180s in split-bull flights or the most hat tricks in full-bull flights. For doubles, combine the current partners’ applicable totals. If still tied, use a live coin flip.

Economy playoffs and Second Chance

The top four singles players or doubles teams enter single-elimination playoffs. Seed #1 plays #4 and #2 plays #3. Each semifinal is one match, best of 21 — race to 11. The winners play one final, also race to 11. The final winner is league champion. Play one round per week, with no playoff fees.

Use the 21-game playoff sheet and stop when either side wins 11 games. Games 1, 2, 5, 7, 10, 11, 12, 13, 16, 18 and 21 are 501; the remaining games are Cricket.

The separate Second Chance tournament is double elimination. Everyone completing the season in good standing is eligible except the league champion. Doubles partners keep their existing teams. First place receives a trophy and second place receives a medal, for each winning player. There are no cash prizes.

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 payment invitations, 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 joining works

  1. Register with your own ADA number, email and player information. Doubles partners must have separate email addresses and individual player records.
  2. Hope reviews registrations, eligibility and flight placement.
  3. When your approved group is full, each player receives a payment invitation with 48 hours to pay and one reminder after 24 hours.
  4. The league starts after every required player has paid. A doubles team with one paid partner and one unpaid partner is held for Hope’s review.
  5. Hope enters the completed roster into ADA. Players report their scores through the ADA website.

Neutralizer Handicapped Leagues

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.

501 flight reference

  • Gold — 4.00+ Cricket MPR: open in, double out, split bull.
  • Silver — 3.25–3.99: open in, double out, split bull.

Payment policy and help

All league payments are non-refundable. Exceptions for extenuating circumstances require agreement from both Hope Masterson and Jerry Joseph. Only Hope Masterson or Jerry Joseph may issue an approved refund; management has final say. No refund is automatic, including when a group does not form.

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.
