The competition has attracted a strong field. They will have their last chance today at the South Dunedin Community Hall to take home medals.
The two-yearly event regularly attracts players who are prepared to travel widely to compete.
''We have them from Auckland right down to Invercargill. They come from all over New Zealand and Australia as well,'' event organiser Eddie Girdler said.
They include serious darts players as well as novices who rarely play the sport outside the Masters Games.
''One group of ladies have been coming up from Invercargill for the last six years and they only play darts at the Masters Games,'' Girdler said.
The event is staged at a slower pace and with less fuss than the popular professional darts tournaments which attract big TV audiences.
But the stars and the hype of the professional sport is helping attract more people to amateur events such as the Masters Games, Girdler said.
''It has made a huge difference to darts in New Zealand.
''I have noticed the amount of people [competing] through the darts being on television a lot.
''It has resulted, down here in Otago we are actually the biggest club in New Zealand,'' he said.
