British Inter-County Darts Championships

The British Inter-County Darts Championships (BICC) are pivotal to the BDO playing system and are responsible for producing players who regularly go on to achieve success at national, international, world and professional levels within the sport. The BICC is famously acknowledged as ‘the production line of darts’ because of its unfailing ability to produce top players year in year out.

Played every 3-4 weeks from September/October to April/May, the BICC comprises forty-three English counties, sixteen Scottish counties and seven Welsh counties, which produce a Premier Division and Divisions 1, 2, 3 and 4 in England and Wales, plus two Scottish Divisions.

England and Wales have 10 counties per Division, fielding Men’s and Women’s A and B teams, and each team has 12 men and 6 women players. This produces a total of 36 players (men and women) per county competing at Inter-County level every 3-4 weeks throughout the season.

The two Scottish Divisions – Scotland North and Scotland South - are contested by eight counties in each Division. There are 28 players per team.

All counties play home and away fixtures throughout the season, and the points scored produce annual League Tables.

Each County has its own County Darts Super League from which County players are selected for each of its County Teams. This produces thousands of BDO players (men, women and youth) who compete within the BDO Inter-County and County Super Leagues annually.
