Get ready for the AACDARTS Winter 2026 Playoffs! With a record number of teams this season you know there are going to be shenanigans and you won’t want to miss them. Along with the debauchery, we will also be helping raise some money for one of our very own.
Playoff Information
This season we have decided to host two playoff events. The first event will take place on Mar 5 at Atmosphere Bar and feature our Skillshooter Cup and Wildcard matches. Our host will provide some pizza to power your darts through the evening.
For the first time, two teams will battle for the final bracket spot LIVE! Come watch these teams compete to claim the final TOPS and BOTTOMS position before we start bracket play the following week. These matches will start approximately 8 PM and be a first-to-five match.
The second seasonal Skillshooter Cup challenge will take place immediately following the conclusion of the last match. The top-4 skill shooters from the regular season will face off against last season’s champion in a quick shootout to determine who will take home the coveted Skillshooter Cup. This was an exciting event last season with unexpected results. You never know who will shine when the time comes! You will definitely want to stick around and see the heated competition.
The Finals and Awards party will take place on April 2 at Platform 47. This highly anticipated event features our top teams in both divisions competing live to take home their division trophy. We have special recognition for second place teams as well as the 3rd and 4th place finalists. Player pins will also be distributed to your team representative during this event. Platform 47 will be presenting a delicious menu for us, as usual, starting around 7:45 PM.
Come early to ensure you get a fabulous dinner and stay for the INFAMOUS BLIND DRAW tournament! If you missed out on dinner, don’t worry, we will feature a selection of finger foods to fuel you through the bracket. You may not go home a winner but you won’t go home hungry!
Zach Leonard fundraiser
Zach recently suffered a devastating apartment fire where he lost a majority of his things – including his clothes, personal belongings, and most importantly, all of his photography equipment.
Photography is Zach’s main source of income, and losing his gear has made an already overwhelming situation even harder. He is now starting completely from scratch and working to rebuild both his life and his livelihood.
To help Zach recover, AACDARTS will be donating $5 for every shill shot recorded during the playoffs, up-to $250. In addition, Platform 47 has generously agreed to match our donation! That means, with your help, we can raise up-to $500 during the playoffs to help support a darter in their time of need. That is how we demonstrate our pillars of sportsmanship, camaraderie, and inclusion.
If you are able and willing to donate personally, please visit his GoFundMe page at https://gofund.me/fc8407b48.
