Semis mate, as we have no funding from gb9 £10 of the £30 will be going towards the portable board and stand.

why dont you make your own dart board easel dam site cheaper than 150 quid otherwise it will not be worth it for a 30 quid entry what will break down be winner runner up 2x semi only leaves you 330

don't you think you will have more interest if its done and finished in same weekend with shorter races?? say £20+2 entry at each event then the £2 goes towards the Board and the stuff that way you would have the excitement of a final and people will be more interested.. Also over 5 events based on 16 entries you can cover the cost of Board and have a couple of pints for ya self  IMO.. of Course!! great job by the way hope it gets going..

This needs to be done at one event to be honest. People will simply lose interest if one darts tournament is played over an entire year. Also given the mixed standard even a best of 3 set mactch could tke some time. Surely best of 5 legs for first rnd to Semi-s and best of 7 in Final would be more sensible.
This is a great idea, but you need to listen to the masses opinions which seem to be saying do it over one event.
How about 4 events at the first 4 tour stops and the top 4 players play a tour final at last event. £15 each per event with £10 towards the event, £3 to the final event and £2 towards running costs. That way £160 prize money per event, £192 towards the final event and £128 towards running costs,
Just my thoughts.

I'm sure someone could borrow a dart board and use double sided stick tape to put it up I agree a knock out at each event as some people can't attend all events
