Belfast's Biggest Adult Sports Day

This Is Ducking Adult Sports Day.

Five games. One leaderboard. Zero chill.

Grab 2–3 mates, build your team and take on the city in a full day of competitive bar sports — big laughs, friendly rivalry and serious bragging rights. It's a shotgun start: every team is allocated a starting session, then rotates through all seven sessions in turn — five bar sports plus a 4 Dram Whiskey Tasting and a 2 Cocktail Refreshment Session. Four teams go head-to-head each session, thirty minutes on the clock, points banked to one running leaderboard. No byes, no waiting your turn: from the first whistle, everyone is playing.

  • 7 Sessions
  • 4 Teams / Session
  • 30 Min Each
  • 5 Bar Sports
  • 4 Dram Tasting
  • 2 Cocktail Refreshments

Tech Darts

Whole team throws; your two sharpest arms carry the board, ranked against the room.

28 pts for top team

Duck-Pin Bowling

Ten frames, little pins. Top two scores count — and every strike is worth chasing.

The Running Order

It's a shotgun start — every team kicks off and finishes together. You'll be allocated a starting session from 1–7, then rotate through all seven: five bar sports, a 4 Dram Whiskey Tasting and a 2 Cocktail Refreshment Session. Four teams per session, thirty minutes apiece.

Tech Darts 28 pts top team

Your team competes together at Tech Darts. Each individual score is calculated after the chosen Tech Game ends (or at 30 minutes) — then the top 2 highest scores in each team are added together and placed on a scoreboard. Each team is ranked and given points equal to their position: if Team A finishes top of the board they receive 28 points; a team finishing 7th receives 22; last place receives 1 point. These scores are added to the overall leaderboard.

Shuffle Board First to 20 · +5

Teams go head-to-head, playing each other for a total of 30 minutes with scores recorded. The game ends sooner if a team reaches 20 points — by doing so they also receive 5 bonus points. The losing team's score is recorded at that moment. Team scores are allocated to the overall leaderboard.

Crazy Pool 84 tops · +5 hole-in-one

Players are paired against opposing team members. Each individual score is calculated after players complete the 9-hole course. Points are allocated based on the lowest scores from the best 3 players in each team — for example, if a player tops the leaderboard with 13 strokes they earn the maximum of 84 points. 5 bonus points are awarded to any player who gets a hole-in-one (each hole-in-one is worth 5 points), added after the original scores. All scores are then added to the overall team leaderboard.

Ice-Free UV Curling First to 20 · +5

Teams go head-to-head, playing each other for a total of 30 minutes with scores recorded. The game ends sooner if a team reaches 20 points — by doing so they also receive 5 bonus points. The losing team's score is recorded at that moment. Team scores are allocated to the overall leaderboard.

Duck Pin Bowling +5 per strike

Your team competes together at Duck Pin Bowling. Each player throws multiple bowls over multiple frames. The score is calculated after all ten frames are complete (or at 30 minutes) — then the top 2 highest scores in each team are added together and placed on the overall leaderboard. 5 bonus points are awarded for each strike by any player during the 30-minute game, added to the leaderboard after the game's scores.
