Q-School is free to play. Unlock the full game to compete on the Pro Tour, every major, the full season, rankings, the Premier League and your career legacy.
You play as a single darts pro on the professional circuit. Every season is a full calendar of real-style tournaments. Win matches to earn prize money, climb the two-year rolling Order of Merit, and chase the biggest titles in the sport.
Most players begin at Q-School (Qualifying School): 4 days, 5 rounds each day. Finish in the top 4 on any day to earn your Tour Card and join the Pro Tour. Q-School is free to play, it's the perfect way to learn the scoring before committing.
Prefer to skip ahead? At player creation you can choose to start already ranked, as a Challenge Tour player, a fresh Pro Tour Card holder (~rank 80), or an Established Pro (~rank 32).
Darts is played from 501 down to exactly zero, and your final dart must land on a double (or the bullseye). Each turn ("visit") is up to three darts.
You have two ways to enter your score, switchable during a match:
Bust rules apply: if you go below zero, leave exactly one, or hit zero without finishing on a double, the turn is void and your score resets to where it started.
Your season runs month by month through a full schedule. Event types include:
Some events have rank requirements. If you're not yet qualified, they're simulated automatically and you advance to the next one you can enter.
When you enter an event you'll see the draw. For each of your matches you can Play it yourself dart-by-dart, or Sim the result to skip ahead. The rest of the field plays out automatically. Win your match to advance through the rounds toward the final.
Media Day: before the big TV events, three outlets want a word. Your answers make the news, a rival you call out will answer back, and the press checks any bold claims afterwards. It never changes a match, and you can skip it or switch it off in Settings.
Difficulty (Beginner → Elite) sets both your starting average and how strong the AI field is. Pick the band that matches your real throwing ability for the fairest challenge.
Format: Quick Play makes every match you play best of 3 legs, right through to the final. Authentic uses each tournament's official format and match lengths, round by round.
