Playoffs Are Coming Soon

As the regular season winds down and the playoffs approach, it's time to solidify the rules for the post season tournament. Below are the basic rules that will be used to set the post season tournament:

• The tournament dates will be 2/23 (only seeds 7-10 play this week), 3/2 and 3/9.
• There will be two separate tournaments brackets: Divisions A&B and Divisions C&D.
• All teams will compete in a neutral location with the Finals to be held at the Legion on 3/9.
• Each division winner will be rewarded with a 1 or 2 seed regardless of record compared to other non-division winners. The best record from those two teams will be awarded the #1 seed.
• The tournament brackets will be reseeded after each round so that the lowest seed will always play the highest seed.
• Handicaps will be based from the Final Regular Season Stats.
• To be eligible for the post season tournament, a player must have competed in at least 20 games during the regular season.
• Bar Subs are eligible for the tournament but must have competed in 20 games. They may only compete in the post season tournament for one team. They are not allowed to compete for multiple teams.
• No League Fees are collected during the tournament. Each team is responsible for paying for their own games on the dart board.

Please contact Dave Huffman with any questions/concerns.

Mid-Season Tourney a Success!

I wanted to thank everyone for making this year's mid season dart tournament a huge success. There were very few glitches, and we were done by 11 o'clock! 64 people turned out, which was awesome. We had 99% positive feedback and 1 complainer. I'll take that every time.

Congratulations to Tom Deery and Richard Sain on winning it all. They beat John Botta and Doyle Sorenson in the finals.

I also wanted to thank the following people

The website has some new features throughout - click on a Team or Player's name anywhere to see detailed statistics from the last 2 seasons. You'll be able to see your team's and your weekly progress with detailed statistics for each week as well as a graph showing the ups and downs.

The schedule page now also shows previous week's results as well as the pending results for the current week before they're completed. No more waiting until the next week to see how your division rival did!

Here's an example of the new Team Wins graph:
