League Information

Complete the following details:

  • League name – the name of your league
  • Start date – when the league begins
  • Additional information – include format overview, prizes, key dates and venue information

League Format

Round Robin settings:

  • Single Round Robin – teams play each other once
  • Double Round Robin – teams play each other twice (typically home and away)

Team Games:

Define the total number of fixtures in each match. For example, if your format includes four singles games and two doubles games, enter six total games.

Default Match Settings:

Enter the most common game format used in your league. This will be applied as the default and can save time during the next step.

This can be adjusted in the next step.

Registration Details

  • Set the maximum number of teams allowed in the league
  • Apply any restrictions on who can enter

Once complete, press ‘Create League’.

Defining Match Formats

After creating the league, you’ll need to define the specific format for each game within a match.

For each game, you can configure:

Player Format:

Select whether the game is singles or pairs.

Game Format:

  • Choose from standard formats (501 or Cricket)
  • Select ‘Custom’ to enter specific starting score (e.g. 601, 301, 1001)

Match Length:

  • Set the number of legs
  • Choose ‘Best of’ or ‘Play all legs’

Simply work through each fixture in the match and apply the relevant format settings.

Once finished, press ‘Submit’ and your league is live.

Registering a Team

Navigate to the league homepage and you will see a dropdown and a ‘Register’ button. Direct your team captains to this page so they can register their team to your league.

You can view all the teams who have registered by going to the ‘Registrations’ page in the admin menu. Once you’re happy all your teams have registered successfully, you will need to approve them in the Registrations page. You can also deny any teams to remove them from the league.

Finalising Set-Up

Once you’re happy all teams have registered and have been approved, go to the ‘Checkout’ page in the admin menu.

Double-check your list of teams is correct – once you complete the checkout process, you will not be able to add another team.

Scroll to the bottom and press ‘Checkout’. Darts Atlas charges a £25 per team admin fee.

Once you have completed the league fee payment, your fixtures will be auto-generated.

These are visible in the ‘Schedule’ page. Here you can go into each match and assign a date and venue. This is optional, but will certainly help your teams and players understand your league fixtures.
