WDF Pläne für 2020

Die WDF führt einige Änderungen für das Jahr 2020 ein.
Bin gespannt was sich noch alles ergeben wird.

The World Darts Federation would like to make our member countries and their players aware that we are currently revising our senior rankings criteria, so to launch a brand new system for 2020.


Discussions are ongoing between the WDF Executive, our nations and our commercial partners to ensure that our “2020 vision” of a viable global circuit for all players becomes a reality, with the addition of brand new WDF major tournaments within the next 12 months.


The WDF season runs from January to December and we will begin the calendar year with new tournament categories of GOLD, SILVER and BRONZE. We will also be introducing regional ranking tables for both men and women, to the benefit of all of our players worldwide. Full details will be announced in the coming days.


It is evident from the regular updates to our calendar with over 40 different countries already signed up for the 2020 season, that we have the full support of our members worldwide. This system is being developed by the WDF, on behalf of the nations that form the WDF.


All of the information that you require will be published as soon as it is available. We can reassure you that it would be beneficial to compete on the WDF circuit, with additional incentives soon to be announced.


Our first senior tournament of the year is the Las Vegas Open (January 17-19), followed by ranking events in Australia, Iceland and Canada. In mainland Europe, the season begins with two of our premier weekends, the Romanian Darts Festival (January 24-26) followed by the iconic Dutch Open Darts.


For information on how to enter these events, please see our WDF calendar page.

Die WDF hat heute bestätigt, dass sie zwei Major-Turniere ausrichten möchte. Ein Turnier in Form des World Masters oder das andere Turnier in Form einer World Championship. Beide Turniere sind ähnlich aufgebaut wie die beiden bisherigen BDO-Major. Zur Weltmeisterschaft sollen sich jedoch darüber hinaus alles Open Sieger der Kategorie Gold qualifizieren.

The World Darts Federation is delighted to announce our intentions for the 2020 season and a brand new world ranking structure.


The WDF are fully committed to establishing two new major tournaments within the next 12 months.


The first will be a ‘World Masters’ style multi-board event for men, women and youth that will provide the opportunity for players from all member countries to compete, including the winners of every WDF sanctioned event in the calendar year.


We will also be launching an end of season finale in the traditional format of a staged ‘World Championship’ type event, where the top men, women and youth players within our global system have the opportunity to become WDF champions.


The WDF ranking system now includes over 100 events from almost 50 countries in 2020 and is explained in detail below. These include a number of “Gold” events, which will see their champions promoted directly into our new major competitions.


We will also look forward to announcing news of additional staged international events under the WDF banner in the near future.


Further details on the dates, location, prize fund and the full qualification criteria for our new major tournaments will be released as soon as it is available.


Our WDF youth system is also a priority. It will be fully reviewed in the coming weeks and further details of qualification for the majors will be announced.


We would like to emphasise that 2020 will be a transitional year for the World Darts Federation and that no tournament restrictions will be made regarding seeding, format or prize money. A clear structure and definitive rules with regards to the 2021 WDF calendar and the world ranking system, tournament seeding, playing format and prize structure will be issued in due course.
