New Player Guide

What You Need to Play

To participate in Atlas Darts tournaments you need an Arachnid G3, G3+, or G3+ Fire/Ice electronic dartboard that supports Tournament King Online (TKO). No share codes are required — your board connects directly to the TKO network.

Setting Up Your BullShooter ID

  1. Register at BullShooter Live ↗
  2. Link your Arachnid board to your BullShooter account
  3. Play online pub play or league games to build your statistics
  4. Once you have a stats history, submit your baseline stats to Atlas Darts for verification

Establishing Your Rating

Your Atlas Darts Player Rating is calculated as:

Player Rating = (Average MPR × 10) + Average PPD

For your first 30 Atlas games, your submitted baseline stats are used. After 30 games (minimum 15 x01 and 15 Cricket), your rating switches to a rolling average of your last 100 games.

Key Rules for New Players

7 Point Bust Rule

If you place in the money and your tournament rating is 7+ points above your submitted baseline, your winnings are forfeited. Always submit honest, accurate stats.

New Player Restrictions

Until you have completed 30 Atlas games (15 x01 + 15 Cricket), you are in New Player status. Your baseline stats govern your CAP eligibility during this period.

Stat Submission

Upload a screenshot from your Arachnid board showing your PPD and MPR averages. An Atlas Darts admin will verify and approve your stats before you can register for tournaments.
