The tournament was developed by Farawaysports, an organisation dedicated to providing quality remote sporting contests including pictures, data and odds, during the world-wide pandemic of COVID-19.

[3] The RDL comprises 10 top WDF players competing over 10 days in a fast league format.

After a four-day break, the 10 players will compete again in the next leg of the Remote Darts League, RDL2.

All players have a webcam prepared in their home environment, through which it is possible to watch every thrown dart.

The 10 WDF players have been chosen in advance including the former BDO World champion, John Walton or the finalist of the UK Open 2011 and European Championships 2012, Wes Newton.
