An electronic dart game machine (100) with an integrated tournament mode includes a first target (104), a processor (202) coupled to the first target (104), and a display (108) coupled to the processor (202). A memory (204) connected to the processor (202) stores automated software instructions (300). In particular, the instructions (300) accept player identifications, determine a tournament mode (e.g., single elimination mode or double elimination mode), and create and display a tournament chart (Figures 6-9) including paired player identifications, including BYEs (Figures 6, 7 and 9). The instructions further accept a tournament game selection that specifies a dart game to be played during the dart tournament. Subsequently, the instructions initiate dart game matches in accordance with the paired player identifications in the tournament chart (Figures 6-9), monitor darts striking the first electronic dart target to determine a match winner for each dart game match, and create an updated tournament chart to include new paired player identifications indicative of match winners (Figure 9). When the dart tournament is completed, the instructions display a player identification ranking on the display (Figure 10).
