Team Dart is held annually at Bally's Las Vegas, allowing players to experience Las Vegas at a central location for full vacation benefits. The tournament hall, which is large enough to hold the entire tournament, is located near from Bally's casino and sleeping rooms.
With more than 2,500 players from around the world Team Dart is the world's largest international electronic dart tournament. The tournament is unique compared to all others because skill levels range from beginners to masters and all participants are classified into levels according to their individual or team's skill rating.
"We're very excited about the opportunity to offer everyone a chance to experience all of Team Dart, with a six day competition schedule instead of nine," said Alvin Gerlach, president of the NDA. "This shortened schedule was asked for by operators and players, and means less money out of pocket for travel expenses and more opportunities to play in additional events and win. We hope to see everyone in Vegas next year, as we roll out this exciting change."
