Play Online
If you can't get out to play (life and family sometimes get in the way), or you're after even more than just your pub league, the world of online darts can give you your competitive fix from the comfort of your own home.
These days, you have a host of options to choose from. Winmau's just launched Autodarts, there's Dartsmind, or, where I've been playing my games for the last few years, Target DartCounter.
A phone camera pointed at your board, the DartCounter app and you're set to go and play people from all over. And if you're after organised tournaments and leagues, my advice would be to get a free Discord account too and join a few servers.
How does online darts on Discord work?
Discord is where the leagues and tournaments are organised. Once you've joined a server, you'll find the relevant channels for fixtures, results and anything else you need.
Arrange your games with your opponent at a time that suits you both, play the match through DartCounter, then post your result in the relevant channel.
That's really all there is to it.
