Brow fought back and got 3 consective legs, but Parker won 4 additional legs to make him have a 9–3 lead; Brow once again pushed harder and won 2 legs before Parker took the match with a high 110 average.

The 2025 Home Masters Darts Championship marks the inaugural edition of the tournament. The competition is structured across six sessions, culminating in an action-packed final day on January 6. On this day, the Quarterfinals, Semifinals, and Finals will all take place in a single high-stakes session, promising an intense and thrilling conclusion to the championship.

The CEO of the Amateur Darts Cooperation

The event's planning began in August 2024, led by Freddie Goodwin, who explored various tournament formats to ensure an engaging experience. Initially intended to follow the Sets format, the decision was made in December 2024 to switch to the Legs format, allowing the event to conclude within a few days rather than spanning several weeks. This adjustment aimed to streamline the competition while maintaining its excitement and accessibility.

Ranking

The rankings on the IDF Order of Merit for this inaugural competition will be based on players earning both prize money and ranking points throughout the event. Players who lose in the first round will not receive any ranking points, emphasizing the importance of advancing through the stages. As an added incentive, players achieving a 9-dart leg during the competition will earn bonus points, rewarding outstanding performances. This tournament marks the first step in establishing the ADC Order of Merit, with the results laying the foundation for future rankings and competitive opportunities.

The total prize pool for the tournament remained at $2,500,000 million in total. Players will be given an additional $120,000 for each 9-darter achieved during the tournament.
