The LCDA 100s Championship is a seasonal darts tournament held under the Flight Club banner. It has been staged at the LCDA venue since its inception in Winter 2025. Although played at the LCDA facility, the event operates independently from the league itself. The competition serves as the official season-ending showcase for players ranked on the LCDA 100s Ladder, bringing together the most consistent and prolific scorers from across all divisions. Matches are played in the Legs format, with players competing over short, high-intensity sets designed to reward both heavy scoring and sharp finishing.
The tournament was established by Alex Brow, who designed the event to highlight individual performance outside of the team framework. It has since become one of Flight Club’s most recognized tournaments, praised for its fast pace, open qualification structure, and its emphasis on pure scoring ability. The LCDA 100s Championship is now viewed as a bridge between league competition and individual open play, where teammates frequently face each other for the first time in a season.
History
The inaugural LCDA 100s Championship was organized in late 2025 by Alex Brow, following the conclusion of the LCDA Winter Season. Seeking to create a post-season event that rewarded personal scoring consistency rather than match results, Brow introduced a playoff format in which the top 100s scorers from each team qualified. The goal was to celebrate precision and power scoring — the backbone of competitive darts — while encouraging all league players to push for higher numbers throughout the season.
The first edition, held on 18 November 2025, featured a compact four-player field representing the leading performers from the LCDA 100s Ladder. Matches were contested in best-of-five and best-of-seven leg formats, resulting in a fast, engaging style of play. The response from both players and spectators was overwhelmingly positive, with praise directed at the balance between competition, entertainment, and fairness.
Following the success of its debut, it was confirmed that the Flight Club would continue hosting the event twice yearly — once after the Summer Season and again following the Winter Season. The qualification process remained unchanged: the top four players from each team advance to the Championship, ensuring broad participation while maintaining competitive integrity. Future editions are expected to introduce seeding for players surpassing 100 100s in a single season, further elevating the standard and prestige of the competition.
Over time, the LCDA 100s Championship has developed into a distinctive Flight Club staple — a proving ground for form players and rising talent alike — and is anticipated to remain a cornerstone of the darts calendar for seasons to come.
