The World Darts Federation (WDF) and DartConnect have signed a five year agreement which has been announced to collaborate on technology, programs and competitions with the purpose of growing the sport of darts globally.

The aim of this agreement is creating a new integrated, customised tournament experience tailored specifically for WDF sanctioned events when in-person competition fully returns in the run-up to their World Championship and World Masters.

This joint effort will allow for a dedicated DCTV channel which will be used for events all over the world aiming to streamline the process of updating rankings, results and statistics.

Even if tournaments decide not to use DartConnect, the organisers that do choose to use the system will be given the tools to reduce time and effort spent on results and seedings and registrations.

Richard Ashdown, WDF Chief Development Officer said: "We are excited to work with DartConnect and continue the success that we experienced at the 2019 WDF World Cup. DartConnect will be utilised at this year’s World Masters in the Netherlands and for the historic return of the World Championship at the Lakeside. Beyond the World Cup, we look forward to integrating the platform into the WDF’s Asia-Pacific, Americas and Europe Cups, ensuring that every live match and result is available in real time to fans across the globe."
