Time for us to gather our teams together and see what we have.  Time to fill out our rosters and send them into the league office for final inspection and division placement.  Time to dust off our darts that haven't been touched since March and see what kind of shooter you are, again.

The Ashtabula Dart League is once again looking for teams and sponsors for the 2010-2011 Season.

Teams consist of 4-8 players.  Trophies and Plaques are awarded to teams and individuals for write-ups and seasonal finishes.

Steel-tip darts are more personally rewarding and inexpensive than billiards/pool.

We urge you to contact your local watering hole to sponsor your team today!

New and returning teams can always fill out the ONLINE registration/roster form in the side bar of this site.  If you have no computer access, simply fill out a Team Registration/Roster Form and drop it off at Chicks' Bar on West Ave in Ashtabula.

ROSTERS MUST BE TURNED IN BY MONDAY, AUGUST 30TH, 2010.

CAPTAINS MEETING WILL BE HELD ON SEPTEMBER 7TH, 2010 AT 8PM AT CHICKS BAR IN ASHTABULA.

For more information, please contact the league secretary, Wayne A. Lett @ 440-812-8722.

How will you know where you shoot?  Great question.

We will look at both teams records at the time you won the division.  Which ever team has the highest match point total and wins will be the Home team and will be required to keep score that night, like any normal evening.  To support our sponsors even more, the Home team will also host the night.  Each game will be officiated by a Board Member who will supply the Championship Score Sheet. 

The only write-ups that count are of the perfect dart variety, such as 180's, 3-Trip's, 6 cork's, and 9-dart 301's only.  No other write-up will count on this night.  Also Points will not be awarded for any games won.  We will use a simple scoring system, first team to 7 wins, wins the night.
