What is Inclusio and What is ParaDarts?
World ParaDarts is for disabled players who meet the set International Paralympic qualifying impairments, started in 2020
World Inclusio Is for all disabled players, whose disability effects the way they play darts, started in 2023
This means going forward there will be 2 classifications of disability darts within World ParaDarts:
- World ParaDarts, for players who are eligible under the World ParaDarts eligibility rules, which follow the International Paralympic Committee guidelines of impairments.
2. World Inclusio, for all disabled players, whose disability effects the way they play darts.
What does this mean for players:
Players who wish to register and play in the Inclusio Darts classification have to register with their country’s Inclusio Officer (see the list below) by emailing us at inclusio@worldparadarts.com
To register for Inclusio:
Players must complete the application form and send it to their country’s Inclusio Officer, with either evidence of being in receipt of their country’s disability benefits (less than 12 months old) or a letter from their doctor confirming their disability. (If neither of these are available please contact your Inclusio Officer to discuss your individual circumstances).
Please note Blue Badges or equivalent can not be used as evidence of a disability.
In addition, they will have to renew their registration each year with their country’s Inculsio Officer by providing the evidence required, when requested.
Once the country officer has confirmed they are eligible they pass the name and details to World ParaDarts and the registered players names will be added to theInclusio register, which can be accessed at the top of this page.
There is a £10 annual fee as an Inclusio player, and there maybe membership fees for your chosen organisation and for tournament entry.
Inclusio covers all disabilities:
Players have to provide evidence they are receiving a government disability benefit (less than 12 months old) or a doctor’s letter confirming the disability and how it effects the player.
Additional considerations:
- Sight loss- is included but on the grounds of safety, players have to have a proficiency certificate with their Inclusio Officer before they can play in tournaments, which should be renewed annually.
(Safety is an ongoing consideration in all tournaments and a tournament organiser can ask any player to leave a tournament on the grounds of safety, regardless of the underlying reason of the safety concerns.)
2. Hearing loss, PTSD are also included (the same documentation is required being the current year’s government disability benefits letter or a doctor’s letter).
3. Illnesses which are debilitating are included, again subject to the provision of the current year’s government disability benefits letter or a doctor’s letter.
Youth Players
For players under the age of 18, we can register you as Inclusio Players, however it is down to individual tournament organisers to decide if they will include a youth section or under 18 year old players.
World ParaDarts eligible players are automatically Inclusio players and able to play in Inclusio tournaments and do not have to register through Inclusio Officers as already individually registered with World ParaDarts. Players can not switch from Paradarts to Inclusio or the other way, during a season which runs from 1st September to 31st August annually.

Ranking events
Players who are eligible for both sections being World ParaDarts and World Inclusio can only enter one ranking system during a season and their choice is made when they enter their first event during the season.

Inclusio was started in 2023 and it's Major tournaments and international Cups are currently held seperetley with the plan to merge Inclusio and ParaDarts Major tournaments in International Cups in 2026 with the first joint tournament to be the World Cup 2026 in Oostende (details to be announced)
This decision was taken to allow Inclusio to start in countries and grow and because of the logistics to hold tournaments with both classifications at some venues.
Player must be aware that not all tournaments held will consist of ParaDarts and Inclusio and should check the calendar about individual tournaments to ensure their classification is included.
