Darts Results: Unicorn Invitational Championship

August 12, 2015

The Bermuda Darts Association recently held the Unicorn Invitational Championships at Docksiders Pub & Restaurant on Front Street.

This is the biggest tournament of the year and is the most coveted title to win for the players. This is because players have to qualify to gain entry and only the top 32 players from the singles standings after the League Games on June 1st 2015 qualified. It also means an entry, along with the Bermuda National Champion into the Winmau World Masters for the winner in the U.K should they be willing to go and participate.

This is also one of the oldest darts tournaments in Bermuda, dating back to 1976 when Charles and Herbert Medeiros played in the then called Unicorn World Championships in the U.K. Since then we have had our own Bermuda Unicorn Championships.

The Unicorn format, differs from regular League games and is Best of 5 legs [First to win 3 legs] till after the quarter finals. The semi-finals are best of 7 legs [First to win 4 legs]. The final is best of 9 legs [First to win 5 legs].

All games are 501 straight start and double to finish. The players decide who throws first by shooting for the bulls-eye. Closest dart to the bull starts first in legs 1, 3 and 5, with the opponent starting legs 2 and 4.

It is a seeded draw, similar to tennis where the top seeds play lower ranked seeds in the earlier rounds. This tournament is played over four boards with eight players on each board and the top 4 seeds having their own board allocation.
