Transgender women banned from women's darts tournaments

The Darts Regulation Authority (DRA) has announced only players assigned female at birth will be eligible to compete in women's tournaments.

Following a review of its Trans and Gender Diverse Policy - which included commissioning a report by an academic developmental biologist and after considering "extensive legal advice" and recent UK court rulings - the DRA says that it is "satisfied that to achieve fair competition in darts, only biological females should be eligible to compete in women's tournaments regulated by DRA Rules", which includes the PDC Women's Series.
