Sorry to say that we have had TWO teams pull out of the League (Druids Arms & New Oak B) their fixtures.

We knew that this season was going to be testing and that we thought that some teams would not complete the season.  Despite this I hope everyone is enjoying getting back to darts.

Hi Everyone and welcome back to the game of darts!! 
 
  • During the time the Dart League was suspended we have had lots of requests from teams/players that they would like to play more League games as a team. In the last few years before Covid the league games have always finished in March, which meant that if your team was out of the Cup Competitions you would not have had a game as a team until June, when the Summer League began. If you were also out of the Cup Competitions AND had a bye in the league you may have only played once in four weeks. With this in mind the Committee have decided that to get everyone back into enjoying your darts, we are only having 2 divisions. Teams will play every team in their division, home and away, plus teams will also play every team in the other division but only the once.  
 
 
  • Format will consist of 3 doubles and 7 Singles all best of 3 legs. Teams in division 1 will play 501 and division 2 teams will play 401. This format will also be used in the inter-division games (division 2 teams will have a 100 point start over division 1 teams). 
 
 
  • We know that this may not be an ideal format for some Teams/players and not everyone will be happy about having to play top teams or having to give other teams a 100 point lead. However, after the long break and the fact that some may have not thrown a single darts in that time, this is a good way of getting more team games and ensures that teams get to see a bigger variety of players and give players more incentive to make the games more competitive. 
 
  
  • We are hopefully getting back to a more normal life, but we are not there yet so we insist that everyone is tolerant to others.  Some players may not want to shake hands or may still wish to wear a mask and social distance for their own personal reasons. We will not accept anyone being abused by others over these reasons and the Committee will take appropriate action if we hear of any issues arising from this.  
 
 
  • Remember on match night teams should arrive at the venue around 8:30pm and be ready to toe the oche by 8:45pm 
 
 
  • Teams can play up to two Ladies on any game night BUT ONLY if the team has not got enough men players. 
 
 
 
  Have a great season of darts
Steve Pester
