Take aim and hit your mark with Dart Players Middle East (DPME), the leading community for the sport in the region.
If you’re not already a darts aficionado, it may seem like an intimidating activity to get immersed in. But DPME is attempting to make darts accessible for those who want to take it up, or for those who want to play with fellow enthusiasts.
DPME have leagues and competitions running throughout the year, with their Winter League currently under way. You can still join, however, and show off your skills to earn bragging rights.
The Winter League, which is two weeks into the season, features two divisions, with five teams in Division A and six teams in Division B.
League games are played every Wednesday night from 20:00 to 23:00 at various venues across Dubai, depending on which team is the home side.
Whether you’re a social player or looking for serious competition, the Winer League is the perfect way to get involved with darts.
Construct a team of men or women – each team requires a minimum of four players and a maximum of 10 – to take part in the varied formats (501 and cricket).
Check out the scene for yourself and see how DPME continues to grow and gather more like-minded players.
“We started off as a darts team around a year ago now, with just a group of people who would be interested in playing,” said DPME club secretary Ross Hampton.
“There’s obviously a big expat base over and a lot of people come over from different countries who enjoy the social side of it and the competitive side as well. So we tried to put together a structure so everyone can do that.”
