Below you will see the general idea and rules , scoring etc , the players layout for all venues and a specimen weekly scorechart 

THE COMPETITION

The Premier League takes place over 17 weeks . There are eight dart players who will compete on a knock out basis (Quarter Finals x 4 , Semi Finals x 2 and Final x1) for the first 16 weeks of the process , earning points to determine their position within the league  . Following this the top four will progress to Week 17 , finals night , where they battle out via two semi finals and a final

OUR COMPETITION

For each of the 16 weeks every entrant will be allocated at random a player to represent them at every venue , as there are eight players and sixteen venues every entrant will have the same player on two occasions . This will be decided by a draw taking place on Friday 30th January 2026 .

As there are eight players , if we achieve 32 entrants (ideal but not essential) , each entrant will share a player with three others at any one particular venue eg  4 will have Littler , 4 will have Humphries , 4 will have Van Gerwen , 4 will have Van Veen , 4 will have Price , 4 will have Bunting , 4 will have Clayton and 4 will have Rock  . If for whatever reason a player does not participate in any of the 16 events he will score zero points .If the PDC replace the missing player with another darts professional , the replacement will take the replace the missing player in our competition also .

How To Win

Winning is based on points awarded to entrants , not points awarded to players  ;

Eg ; Venue One , Littler beats Rock in the Quarter Final , Littler beats Price in the Semi Final , Littler beats Humphries in the Final .

In this scenario ;

entrants who are represented by Littler (the winner) receive 5 points ,

entrants who are represented by Humphries (the losing finalist) receive 3 points ,

entrants who are represented by Price (the losing semi-finalist to the eventual winner) receive 2 points and finally

entrants represented by Rock  (the losing quarter finalist to the eventual winner) receive 1 point .

Entrants represented by any of the other four players receive no points .

This system means even if your representative is beaten in the quarter final you still have someone to follow  , it is in your best interests to support whoever has beaten your representative to allow you to accumulate points , because at the end of the day what do points make ?????

There will be four bonus weeks in this years competition , as there are no players represented from either Belgium or Scotland , and therefore no given home advantage  , Gameweek Two (Antwerp) and Gameweek 13 (Aberdeen) have been selected as double point bonus weeks , where as you might imagine points scored at those venues will be doubled .

In addition there will be two weeks where you will have the chance to treble your points . After the draw is made you will be invited to select two venues where your points will be trebled , the only stipulations being you may not pick either Antwerp or Aberdeen and you may not pick a venue where your representative is named Luke , otherwise it could not be simpler , further details to follow after the draw has been made .

At the end of the sixteen week stage all points that you have accumulated will then be converted into shares , you will then be invited to stake you shares on one of more of the semi finalists depending on who you think will be crowned Premier League Champion 2026 . At this stage last year several entrants formed consortiums and pooled their points to secure a greater or even a guaranteed return , needless to say this worked better for some than others .

At the time of writing there are in the region of thirty plus interested entrants , let’s use thirty as a round figure , which would give an overall prize pot of £900 . As the calculations are based on an approximate pot of around £800 any takings that are over that amount shall go into the half way bonus pot , this will be a chance for all entrants to use their skill , judgement and knowledge to win a bonus cash prize after the event in Berlin , the half way stage of the competition . If no one has any skill , judgement or knowledge the money shall roll over into the main pot and adjustments accordingly made .
