November 14 2023 - Notice! Bruce Buxton Memorial Tournament Postponed
The Bruce Buxton Memorial Tournament has been postponed to January 28, 2024 due to the originally planned date conflicting with other Legion Darts Tournaments!
The 2023-2024 Dart League season has registered and weekly game play is about to get underway.
The teams have been drawn up, you can see them by going to the Stats Page and at the bottom is a link to the new Schedule version B which includes a team structure at the bottom.
The League has expanded to 16 Teams and this is likely the maximum size the League can grow to for several reasons; schedule length, crowding in the main Legion hall, etc.
Our League is registering as a Member League with Darts Alberta within a few weeks.
The regular season games begin at 7 pm September 7. I'll see you all there! Cheers!
The Registration date for 2023 - 2024 Season will be the last Thursday in August (August 31st) at 7 pm, and the first regular season games will be on the first Thursday in September (September 7th).
If you don't think you can make it on that date, just call our execs Troy or Lisa or email the Thursday Execs anytime before then and let them know you want to register. Check the Contacts page for contact information.
A preliminary version of the 2023 - 2024 calendar is available at the bottom of the Stats page of this site. The dates shown for registration and early weeks of regular season games are confirmed.
We'll see you soon!
Brian is now running a paired player Jitney every Thursday evening.
Games start at 7pm, but you should arrive by 6:30pm to register.
Cost to play is $2 to accumulate a pool for prizes to end the evening.
If you drop by the Tuesday Darts League's website you'll see that most parts have been rewritten, especially the Home page and News Page.
This is because this fall they are changing their format back to the standard they kept until about 3 years ago when they switched to a kind of modified jitney format. This fall they're moving back to the original fixed schedule and fixed teams format they used in the years before.
So if you're feeling like maybe playing a second night of League play every week, Tuesday might be worth considering again? Take a peek on their website for a lot more detail.
Our Annual General Meeting was held March 23 and several topics were discussed and decisions were taken. Some of the more important changes that will come at the start of the new fall season are...
- Ghost score: The original breakdown of the value of the ghost scoring worked pretty well, but it was decided to split that large top group... the 15.01+ group valued at 60... into two groups... 15.01 - 18.0 valued at 60 and a new top group of 18.01+ valued at 65 to give the partners of our highest level players a bit more help.
- It was decided that our League will register to be a member league of Darts Alberta next fall. This required an increase of $5 to our annual registration fee, which will now be $35 / year.
- Scoring columns will change. We will merge the "95+" and "100+" columns into a single "95+" column. We will also change the "180" column to "171+" and track the true 180s (3 x T20) and true 171s (3 x T19) in the "player milestones" area. The "133+" column will be unchanged.
- The Registration date for 2023 - 2024 Season will be the last Thursday in August (August 31st), and the first regular season games will be on the first Thursday in September (September 7th).
- Elections: Harley has decided to retire after this season's Series 03. Cheers to Harley for years of dedicated and often diffucult work! This necessitated the election of a new Spare Master, and Moe accepted the nomination and received a unanimous vote. She will assume that responsibility at the start of next season this fall. All other exec position incumbents were reelected.
The meeting moved along very well with a lot of discussion on many points; those above and as well many more minor issues. What a great group of people. Cheers!
