Ultimate Finale Information

Much of this information has been posted & shared since the conclusion of the 2025 Ultimate Qualifier Series on November 22nd, 2025 ... however, here is a one stop shop for all of it.

The 2025 Ultimate Qualifier Finale will be played on Sunday February 15th, 2026. Four levels were created based upon highest known average (league/tourney/other vendor) throughout the months of November 2024-November 2025. Those averages & levels were originally posted upon the conclusion of the series in November, but can also be found below. We are aware that averages may currently be much different than what a player had during the aforementioned months ... some could currently be on a hot streak ... some could be in a slump, that's just how the Qualifier/Finale works and has been either a benefit or detriment to players for the last 13 years of the Series.

Bracket seeding is done by where the player finished in the Series Top 40, so the highest finishing player earns the #1 seed and so on. This is an advantage you earn by finishing higher in the Top 40.

Finale Format:
League Menu --- "UQ2025"
Race to 3, Double Elimination
01/CR/CR/01 - CORK - CR
*Do NOT count the CORK game as a win/loss ... it is merely to determine who starts the tiebreaker game.
What is a CORK? 1 game of Split Bull Count-Up ... each player throws 3 darts, highest point scorer starts tiebreaker game of Cricket. If points are tied following that round, throw again & highest total starts last game. IF by chance there remains a tie following round 2 of the CORK, the higher seeded player starts the tiebreaker game.

Levels 1 & 2 start shooting at 12:30pm sharp and Levels 3 & 4 start at 2pm. There will be some locations with more players than boards, so please be patient if your match is awaiting an open board.

As soon as match is highlighted blue, login and get started. As soon as match is concluded, report the result.

The higher seeded player will start game 1 ... loser will start games 2-4 ... cork will decide who starts the tiebreaker.

Pay close attention to your bracket, once your match is highlighted blue ... a 10 minute start clock will begin. Anyone not logged in & ready to play within 10 minutes will be considered a forfeit. If your opponent has not logged in after a few minutes, consider sending them a message or calling their bar ... sometimes Challonge doesn't auto update and they may not realize their match has been highlighted. PLEASE DO NOT ABUSE THIS and try to log in as quickly as possible to keep the tournaments running as smooth as possible.

Prematurely exiting the match once play has been started will be considered a forfeiture. If your opponent's shooter camera is black ... it's 99% of the time an internet bandwidth issue at the location and restarting, etc. will do nothing to correct it. This tends to be more of an issue in rural locations or locations with numerous things pulling from their internet simultaneously. Play should continue.
