About the DRA
The challenge for the current Committee is to ensure good governance within Darts. Playing standards, commercial revenues and the reputation of the game
The Darts Regulation Authority (DRA) is a not-for-profit Company, limited by guarantee. One if its primary roles is to ensure good governance and integrity within the sport of darts.
The challenge for the current Committee is to ensure good governance within Darts. Playing standards, commercial revenues and the reputation of the game are undoubtedly in the ascendancy. Professional Darts has never been more popular. It is the responsibility of the DRA to protect and enhance that position both within Darts and outside.
Through management of the drug testing programme, review of DRA rules, disciplinary hearings and its many other functions the DRA is committed to protect that good name for the sake of everyone involved in Darts; players, officials, sponsors, media, fans and spectators alike.
