Darts World Rankings are a system which should determine a list of The Best darts Players in The World based on their performances in tournaments. However, after a group of Former World Champions and Other High•Profile Players separated from The British Darts Organisation in 1993 • there are now Two Major Governing Bodies.

Each Organisation has its Own Players, & each has its Own Ranking System. The Ranking Systems are used to arrange Tournament Seedings, which will mean that The Number One Player in The World should not face The Number Two Player in The World until The Final of a Tournament (Providing They Reach That Far).

PDC World Rankings

Main article: PDC Order of Merit

The Professional Darts Corporation's ranking is based on the amount of prize-money won over the past two years.

  • As of 03 January 2016 following the William Hill world darts championship [1]
  • A live (unofficial) version of the Order of Merit is available on

DartsDatabase.co.uk Darts Database. During a tournament, this table subtracts the prize money that was earned two years earlier and adds the minimum prize money the player will receive based on the current status of the tournament. The Prize column contains a + if the player is still in the race to win the tournament.

WDF World Rankings

The rankings are based on a cumulative points system, calculated on a rolling one year basis. When a tournament is played, the previous year's results are removed from the rankings. This list is used to determine seeds for some of the WDF Opens. The World Darts Federation ranking system is designed to provide a measure of the global activities of darts players in every WDF recognised darts event. It used to be very similar to the BDO system but was revised in January 2007 to include categories by country and by events, and the distribution of ranking points reflect the levels of prize money on offer and the numbers of entries in a tournament. Players gain points in six different levels of categorized events and prize money and at the end of the season the leading players receive monetary bonus rewards from the WDF.[2]

Points are currently awarded as follows:

Tournament category W F SF QF R16 R32 R64 R128
