Who We Are

Indian Disability Darts Association (IDDA)

The Indian Disability Darts Association (IDDA) is a dedicated national sports organization committed to organizing, developing, and promoting the sport of darts among persons with disabilities (Divyangjan) in India, with the aim of elevating it to international standards.

Our core focus is to establish Para Darts as a structured and recognized sport in India, providing equal opportunities especially to Wheelchair and Standing Divyang players.

Key Objectives

  • Provide equal opportunities to wheelchair and standing Divyang players.

  • Establish Para Darts as an organized sport in India.

  • Organize competitions in accordance with international body rules.

  • Develop a ranking-based selection system.

  • Create an eligible framework to access government sports grants and funding.

National and International Coordination

IDDA operates in alignment with the rules, game formats, and ranking systems of the World Disability Darts Association (WDDA), ensuring seamless integration with global standards.

Tournaments organized in India are planned according to the WDDA Events Calendar to avoid conflicts with international events.

Regular monthly tournaments offer players the chance to earn Ranking Points, fostering consistent competition and skill improvement.

Ranking and International Opportunities

Players with the highest ranking points:

  • Represent 🇮🇳 Team India in international competitions.

  • Participate in prestigious events such as the World Cup, Gold Cup, European Cup, and Indo-Pacific Cup.

  • High-ranked players qualify directly for 🏆 World Championships and 🎯 International Singles Events.

Any player can qualify for WDDA PDC Matchplay Events through the WDDA Q-School. The finals of PDC Matchplay are televised and played on the PDC Finals Stage, offering global visibility.

Competition Divisions

IDDA events feature inclusive divisions to ensure fair play:

  • ♿ Wheelchair Division: Exclusively for wheelchair users. This is part of the Classic Division. If sufficient wheelchair players are not available, they may participate in Classic tournaments.

  • Classic Division: For players with significant physical disabilities (e.g., amputees, severe physical deformities) listed on a doctor-signed medical form.

  • Comprises Division: For Divyang players whose disability affects play but is not listed on a doctor-signed medical form.

  • Youth Division: For players aged 11–18 years with any recognized disability. Wheelchair Youth players compete in the Wheelchair Division.

  • Ladies Division: Dedicated to female Divyang players, following similar disability criteria as the Youth Division. Female wheelchair users compete in the Wheelchair Division.
