CAPTAINS DUTIES AND INFORMATION
Handicapp:
An automated Spot Marks/Points Handicapping system will be used to determine handicapp.
More on spot Marks – More on spot Points
**Both Captains must agree on the line-up and assigned PPD\MPR for each player before the start button is pushed!! Stats Sheets are provided to locations to deterime the PPD or MPR for league players. The Galaxy II dartboard allows for editing of PPD\MPR at the match set-up page.
NEW SUBSTITUTE PLAYER: If a team has to use a substitute Player that has not established “PPD and MPR", this player would receive an AVERAGE of the other teammember’s PPD and MRR rounded off to the nearest tenth.
EXAMPLE: Total the other three player’s PPD together (24.5 + 16.2 + 18.6 = 59.3)
Divide 59.3 by 3 (the number of players averages) = 19.7666 which
rounds off to the nearest tenth or 19.8 for the new player.
TEAM ROSTERS:
1. The team rosters must be completed and filled out with full information
including Names, complete addresses with zip codes and phone numbers.
Please include substitutes if they are known. If substitutes are added during
the season, the "New Player Sign-up" forms included in your team packets
or use the blank area on the back of the team funds envelope. New Players must be submitted in or on
the Prize Fund Envelope the first night they play. No new players the last four weeks of schedule!!
2. Signing Up reliable players is important. You are responsible for the
attendance of your team each match.
3. It is important that you keep a copy of your team roster in the event of any
scheduling changes, forfeits or absences so you can contact each team member.
4. If one of your player's name has been misspelled, please notify your league
coordinator by providing a note in the League Fund envelope at the end of the
evening. Should a misspelled name appear on an award or trophy at the end
the season and it was never corrected on the Player Standings Sheet, it becomes your problem.
SCHEDULES:
1. Schedules for all matches will be posted in each league location and made
available to each Team Captain.
2. Rules of Play and League Rules are to be read by each member of the team.
Copies of the rules may be available for each team member upon request.
Every Player should be familiar with the rules before League Play begins. The
Rules are to be accepted as written.
3. A match can be rescheduled, but only in cases of extreme necessity. The
rescheduled match must be agreed upon by both Captains and the League
Coordinator must be notified.

common courtesy by contacting the other Team Captain at least 2 hours before
the start of the League Match.

Prize Fund Dues are correct and deposited in the Dart Game's League Slot for
the next morning pick-up. NO CHECKS FROM EITHER TEAM!!!!
2. THE ENVELOPE MUST BE PROPERLY FILLED OUT AND ALL
DATES AND DOLLAR AMOUNTS CORRECT!!!! Both Captains must
sign the envelope. If the visiting team refuses to enter the proper amount of
cash, then a special note should be written on the envelope. If the Funds are
short of missing, there will be a $5.00 Penalty to that team. A note may
appear on the next Standings Sheet.
3. The four players who start a match must play the entire match. At least
two(2) regular players must play each match. To avoid a FORFEIT, a match
may be played with only 2 or 3 players. The absent players will be passed.
If the absent players show up anytime during the match, they may resume play
from that point.
4. All PLAYERS must be 21 years old to enter and participate in the league.
NO EXCEPTIONS.
FORFEITS:
1. A Forfeit during the regular season will be scored as follows:
a. The team forfeiting will receive an automatic loss of 13\15 games.
b. The team receiving the forfeit will receive an average of number of wins
or the average team loses of the forfeiting team which ever is highter. A team receiving a forfeit within the first three weeks of play will not receive any score until a minimum of three matches were played in regular season.
c. If the forfeiting team drops out of the league within the first 3 weeks of play and/or if the league coordinator is unable to determine the average wins and losses of the forfeiting team, then the team receiving the forfeit will receive a number of wins that is one half of the total games played in that league per night rounded up to the next whole number.
Example: If the League is a 13 game format, the wins will equal 6.5 rounded up to 7
wins. If the League is a 15 game format, the wins will equal 7.5 rounded up to 8 wins.
2. Any team that FORFEITS two(2) matches, or FORFEITS a match during the
last three(3) weeks of the season, will lose all prize money and be permanently

membership at a league meeting held just before the season.
2. A match is to be played on only one machine and must be owned and
operated by Gold Coin Amusements.
3. A Mixed League must have at least one female playing each night of play. If
one is not present, the match must be played with a vacant spot for that player.
4. Team Standings will be based on a team's won/loss percentage. Players
Standings will be based on "POINTS PER DART" in all X01 games and on
"MARKS PER ROUND" on all cricket games.
THE LEAGUE COMMITTEE:
The League Committee will consist of ALL team captains, at least one tavern
Owner and a representative from Gold Coin Amusements.

GAME INSTRUCTIONS
301 AND TEAM 501 OR 701
1. To count down from 301/501/701 points to exactly zero, using as few darts as
possible.
2. To Win a Game:
As soon as ANY PLAYER GETS EXACTLY ZERO, THE GAME IS OVER AND THE TEAM WITH THE LOWEST COMBINED SCORE WINS. If both teams’ combined score are tied, the team that scored zero wins.
EXAMPLE: Player 1 and 3 play against players 2 and 4. Both scores are added together (in theory) and the game is played like 602 against 602.
FREEZE RULE: If player 1 goes out and player 3’s score is higher than the sum of player’s 2 and 4 combined, then the team of players 1 and 3 would lose even though player 1 had finished the game.
NOTE: If you are in a position of losing the game by going out, you may pass your turn of shoot until your score is very low (without going out) and then turn your remaining dart(s).
TEAM CRICKET
1. The object of the game is to close (Hit each number 3 times) the numbers listed on the board. Including the bullseye before your opponent. These numbers can be closed in any order. Once a number is closed and before your opponent closes that number, any additional HITS scores the value of that number in points.
2. The team with the most POINTS at the end of the game wins.\
3. The Dart Game will set all CRICKET GAMES for the Double Bull!!!
