How to Join the Virtual Darts League
Ready to test your game against players of your skill level from the comfort of your home? Here is everything you need to know to get started in the VDL.
What is the Virtual Darts League (VDL)?
The Virtual Darts League is the premier online competitive darts ecosystem featuring over 400 active players across 40 Main League Divisions (Platinum, Gold, Silver, and Bronze) and 49 Total Competitions including our Ally Pally Cup and specialty Fun Leagues.
Each league consists of 10 players of equal ability playing 1 match per week. You arrange a convenient time with your opponent on Discord, hop onto the DartCounter app with webcams on, and compete in official SIDO/DIDO 501 matchplay.

4 Simple Steps to Get Started
Join Our Official Discord Community
All VDL match arrangements, official announcements, score reporting, and captain support happen inside our active 2,000+ member Discord server.
Submit Your DartCounter Average
To ensure close, competitive matches, the VDL is strictly average-based across four competitive bands (Platinum, Gold, Silver, and Bronze). New players are placed based on their verified DartCounter 3-dart average.
Pass Your Board Camera Check
Every player must have a clear camera feed pointing at their dartboard to ensure fair play. Position your camera around bullseye height (approx. 1 metre away) with good lighting.
Link Your Discord & Start Competing
Use the !linkvdl command in your game planning room to connect your profile, schedule your weekly fixture with your opponent, and throw your first match darts!
