What Beau Greaves’ 103.03 Qualifying Average Actually Measures

Beau Greaves averaged 103.03 in the match that secured her place at the 2026 Hungarian Darts Trophy. It was her average over ten legs in a 6–4 win against Tom Bissell on 8 July, not her average across the entire qualifying campaign.

DartConnect records Greaves’ combined three-dart average over all four matches in the ET11 qualifier as 93.04. The 103.03 was her decisive-match performance and the second-highest match average in the 89-player qualifier, whose event-wide average was 89.03 (DartConnect qualifier statistics).

Enter total points and darts to calculate the corresponding three-dart average.

How Greaves’ 103.03 Average Was Calculated

A three-dart average converts a player’s scoring rate per dart into the equivalent score for a three-dart visit. The formula is: three-dart average = total points scored ÷ darts thrown × 3.

The DartConnect match report gives Greaves 4,705 points from 137 darts against Bissell. Substituting those figures produces:

4,705 ÷ 137 × 3 = 103.03

Before rounding, the calculation is slightly above 103.02. Displaying the result to two decimal places gives 103.03, which is the figure attached to the performance.

The same calculation can be expressed per dart. Dividing 4,705 by 137 gives about 34.34 points per dart. Multiplying that rate by three does not change the underlying performance; it presents the rate in the familiar three-dart format used for match averages.

The 4,705-point total includes everything Greaves scored in both won and lost legs. Every dart she actually threw counts, including darts that missed doubles. Darts she did not need after completing a checkout are not added to the denominator.

That last distinction matters because a darts average is based on darts thrown, not on a fixed allocation of three darts for every visit. If a player checks out with the first or second dart of a turn, only the darts actually used enter the calculation.

The Average Includes Scoring And Finishing

The 103.03 figure does not mean Greaves scored exactly 103 on a typical visit. Individual visits can be much higher or lower. The average compresses all 4,705 points and all 137 darts into one rate.

It also does not isolate heavy scoring from finishing. Missed doubles count as darts thrown without adding points, so they can reduce an overall average. A successful checkout can end a leg before all three darts in a visit are used, affecting the number of darts in the denominator.

That is why an overall average should be read alongside doubles data when it is available. First-nine scoring and checkout percentage measure different parts of a performance: one can show how strongly a player moved through the scoring phase, while the other records how efficiently chances to finish were converted.

For the Bissell match, the defensible claim is specific: Greaves scored 4,705 points with 137 darts, producing a 103.03 three-dart average over ten legs. The figure describes the whole match rather than one isolated scoring phase.

Greaves Qualified Through Two Separate Events

Greaves qualified for two European Tour tournaments during the same Leicester double-header. She became the first woman to qualify for a PDC European Tour event and then immediately secured a second place, as reported by BBC Sport and Sky Sports.

Her seven matches were split between the ET11 qualifier for the Hungarian Darts Trophy and the ET12 qualifier for the Czech Darts Open.

Qualifier	Opponent	Result	Match Average
ET11, Hungary	Andy Boulton	6–4	100.24
ET11	Charlie Manby	6–2	81.60
ET11	Arno Merk	6–4	88.68
ET11 qualifying match	Tom Bissell	6–4	103.03
ET12, Czech Open	Wesley Plaisier	6–3	82.90
ET12	Cor Dekker	6–1	96.42
ET12 qualifying match	Lukas Wenig	6–5	86.87

The scores and averages are recorded in the DartConnect match centres for ET11 and ET12. Sky’s report also confirms the 103.03 against Bissell, the 96.42 against Dekker and the deciding-leg win over Wenig.

This match list explains why the phrase “Beau Greaves’ European Tour qualifying average” is ambiguous. It could refer to the headline match against Bissell, the full ET11 campaign, one of the ET12 matches or a combined figure covering both qualifiers. Those are not interchangeable statistics.

The widely reported 103.03 belongs only to the Bissell match that completed ET11 qualification. It should not be attached to all seven matches or described as her average throughout the Leicester double-header.

Her ET11 Campaign Average Was 93.04

Across the four ET11 matches, DartConnect lists Greaves at 93.04 PPR on its qualifier results page. PPR means points per round and is the three-dart equivalent used here.

A simple mean of her four displayed ET11 match averages gives 93.39: add 100.24, 81.60, 88.68 and 103.03, then divide by four. That result is not the correct campaign average because it treats each match as though it contained the same number of darts.

The matches did not carry equal statistical weight. A longer match contributes more darts and more points than a shorter match. To calculate an exact aggregate, the underlying totals must be pooled: add all points scored, add all darts thrown, divide the combined points by the combined darts and multiply by three.

An equivalent method is to weight each unrounded match average by its number of darts. The displayed two-decimal averages alone are insufficient for reproducing the exact aggregate because they have already been rounded and do not show how many darts contributed to each result. The correct approach is to pool points and darts or weight each average by darts thrown.

The distinction leaves three useful figures with different meanings:

Figure	Scope	What It Describes
103.03	Bissell match	Qualification-clinching performance
93.04	Four ET11 matches	Full Hungarian qualifier campaign
89.03	All ET11 players	Qualifier-wide benchmark

For a question about the match that secured Greaves’ Hungarian Darts Trophy place, 103.03 is the answer. For a question about her standard across the four-match ET11 run, 93.04 is the relevant figure.

No combined points-and-darts total for all seven ET11 and ET12 matches is supplied in the draft sources, so an exact two-qualifier average should not be inferred by averaging the seven displayed match figures.

The 103.03 Was A Standout Qualifying Match

Greaves’ 103.03 was 14.00 points above the qualifier-wide 89.03 average when the two displayed figures are compared. That gap describes the difference between her Bissell performance and the event-wide figure; it does not mean she stayed 14 points above the field throughout all four matches.

It was also the second-highest match average recorded in ET11. Tom Sykes led that ranking with 104.86 over six legs. Greaves’ figure came over ten legs, giving the performance a different match length from Sykes’ leading average.

The context can therefore be stated without overstating the number. Greaves produced one of the strongest averages in an 89-player professional qualifier, sustained it through a ten-leg match and did so in the contest that clinched her Budapest place.

Her other ET11 averages—100.24, 81.60 and 88.68—show why the 93.04 campaign figure is lower. The route contained both another ton-plus match and two matches below 90. The 103.03 finish was the peak of the run, not a summary of every round.

Readers comparing that performance with other playing levels can use the separate three-dart average benchmarks. Professional qualifying matches should still be kept distinct from pub or practice play because the 103.03 was recorded under the conditions of a competitive PDC qualifier.

The 104.88 Average Came On Her European Tour Debut

Greaves subsequently averaged 104.88 against Rob Cross on her European Tour debut at the Hungarian Darts Trophy. That was a different match and should not be treated as a correction or replacement for the 103.03 qualifying figure.

She hit five 180s but lost 6–5. Cross averaged 101.90 and won the deciding leg, according to the Sky Sports match report. PDC Europe also records Greaves’ 55.56% checkout rate in that defeat in its Hungarian Darts Trophy report.

That debut supplies another example of why the event stage must accompany the average. The 104.88 came in the main European Tour event against Cross. The 103.03 came earlier in qualifying against Bissell. The 93.04 covers all four matches in the ET11 qualifier.

The clean statistical summary is 103.03 to clinch qualification for Hungary, 93.04 across the four-match ET11 campaign, and 104.88 on the European Tour debut itself.
