HOW NDFC YOUTH RANKINGS ARE CALCULATED
The Youth National Ranking Season will run from October 1 to September 30 each year, to coincide with the NDFC Membership Season and NDFC age eligibility
Only NDFC Members will receive ranking points
Separate ranking lists will be maintained for:
- Junior Female
- Senior Female
- Junior Male
- Senior Male
A member can only count 10 results in their total, based on the following:
- A maximum of 3 tournaments held with their member darts body (not including provincials or nationals)
- A maximum of 2 tournaments from each of the other member darts bodies (not including nationals)
- Players will receive points from only their Provincials or the Nationals, whichever is the highest
As the NDFC Youth Ranking System is new, lists will be published as often as possible, but at minimum every 3 months.

Organizers have the right to combine age or gender categories if the minimum has not been met to achieve ranking points. Players' earned points will be included on their specific age and gender ranking list, based on their finish in the combined event.
