dart machine is always right. If the machine isn’t operating correctly, the two
team captains will decide whether to play, call in a repair at 816-279-6113, or
stop the game and make it up at a later date.
Games that are made up must be done before the next day of play.

together please use best known stats and use their PPD
numbers. All teams must be no higher than 200 with all 4 players PPD added up.
10.
Teams will play one half of the scheduled league games at home and one half of
the scheduled league games away, schedule permitting. Each team will play all
other teams at least once, schedule permitting.
11.
Game time is 7:00 P.M. for all evening leagues. The time is “real” time, not
“bar” time. Teams will have 15 minutes to show before play begins. If opposing
team shows before the first game is over, they forfeit the first game and start
play on the second game. If the first game is
finished, all games are forfeited.
12. Players pay a $5.00 league fee per night plus
quarters. All money is put into the boards.
13. Bars
will not charge a cover charge to the league players during league play. Bars
are not obligated to give free drinks to players.
14. It
is each player’s responsibility to see that the machine is displaying that
player’s number prior to throwing any darts. If a player throws when the
machine is displaying an opponent’s number, the opponent has the option to accept
that score and allow play to continue, or reset
the machine to the player’s number who originally threw on the wrong number and
then continuing play.
15. In
any given turn, if a player throws 3 darts and one or two of the darts thrown
do not register, the player must push the enter button before pulling the darts
from the machine. If a player registers points by not pushing the enter button
first, this will result in a foul and the opposing team has the following
options. Accept the score and play continues and player committing the foul
loses one dart on their next turn. Game is reset to score before the foul was committed and quarters will be supplied by the player
who committed the foul.
16. Ties
at the end of a league for first place will be played at the end of the season.
If a playoff is needed the two teams will go to a neutral bar to play the
match.
17. If
there is a problem between the two teams on a play night, any member of the
team has the right to stop the game and contact the league coordinator with
ACME. If a protest is made it must be made within 24 hours. On an official protest
the team submitting the protest must include a $50.00 fee. If the protest is
granted in favor of the submitting team the $50.00 will be refunded to the team
captain. If the protest is unfavorable the $50.00 will be put into the league
payback fund. The reason for this fee is to cut down on the unnecessary
protests.
18.
Abuse of equipment, poor sportsmanship, and unethical conduct may be grounds
for forfeiture of the game, the match, and/or expulsion from the league. No
foul or abusive language will be tolerated. No harassment from players or spectators
will be tolerated.

physical violence and the player or team will be expelled from the league and

will be allowed to play in future leagues if the situation reoccurs said
person/persons will be permanently barred from all leagues.

will be forfeited.

be determined using their known highest average. A new player with no history
in darts will come in as follows. Men will be and 18
and women will be a 15.. You will have to have their stats
before starting the league.
22. If a
makeup match is to be rescheduled it must be okayed by both captains and will
be made up before the next scheduled league night.
23. CAPTAINS: Cell
phones seem to be a problem. Please use common courtesy and if it’s your turn
to throw, call the person back!! This will be the captain’s responsibility to
keep their team in order and throwing when it’s their turn!!!
24. When leagues are cancelled it will be on KQ2 and
Facebook by 2:00 PM
Finally,
let’s remember that the leagues are created for you, the player
