Premier League Darts League Format and Points System
The Premier League Darts League takes place over the first 16 weeks of the league stage, with quarter-finals, semi-finals and finals each night.
Each of the eight players will face seven other players in the quarterfinals from weeks one to seven and weeks nine to fifteen, with games in weeks eight and sixteen not taking place. That means we’ll end up fourth v fifth in Sheffield on the final night of the league, with a play-off spot potentially in jeopardy.
Players are awarded two points for each quarter-final win, an additional point for winning the semi-final, and five points for winning the night’s game.

After the group stage, the top four players will advance to the play-offs on May 28 at the O2 Arena in London. In a best-of-19 round, the first place will play against the fourth place and the second place will play against the third place. What follows is the best of 21 finals.
If players are tied on points after 16 weeks, placement will be determined based on the number of nights won and games won.
