There are two point systems used to reward players for participation as well as results. The Dart Calendar Year for both point systems is from July 15th - July 14th
The amusement operator uses a point system to determine who earns a voucher to attend the ToC in October each year based on their level of membership. Points can be earned by playing in local as well as remote leagues and tournaments. Points can also be earned for player referrals, and helping to promote leagues on both the local and remote level as a player/promoter. Players of any ability have the opportunity to earn a voucher.
PPD uses a seperate point system for people to earn cash and prizes, as well as entry into events like the Mixed Doubles Invitational, and the events at the ToC.
