Hello everyone, 

The officers have decided that we're going to Postpone all of tonight's matches.  The weather outlook isn't all that good with freezing rain scheduled for the majority of our playing area from 7pm to midnight.  

The website has been updated to reflect the new schedules as well.  Please grab a copy of your new schedule.

Stay safe everyone, and good luck next week!

Hello everyone, 

First off I want to thank all the team captains for getting their sheets to me in a timely manner.  I greatly appreciate it!

In going through everything, I noted that there were some really good darts thrown this past week.  Congratulations to George Hart and Conor Joyce with C9's, and Anthony Dominick with a T80!  Conor also highlighted the week with a 1054 AS performance.   

Just a reminder that I need to be made aware of any roster changes BEFORE the match occurs.  Just email me and I'll help you guys out as best I can.  Also, if you haven't gotten us the Sponsor Dues or your Team dues, time is running out.  Everything needs to be in by next week at the latest.  

Have a great weekend and good luck to everyone next week!

Hello everyone,

With the weather not being too kind to us, and the radar taking a turn for the worse, the officers have discussed it and we are cancelling the Captain's Meeting for tonight.  Please read below on how we are going to proceed going forward:

• Payments are still due before the season starts.  Jack and I will be at Last Chance (in Wappingers) tomorrow night @ 7:30pm to hand out team packets, and plaques awarded for the fall season, and to collect sponsor and team dues.  If you are not able to be there tomorrow, Jack and I will be down at the Barking Frog on Friday Night @ 7:30p to finish what wasn't distributed on Wed.  
• If you are not able to make it either Wed. or Friday night, you can mail your dues to Jim Sokolinski (address information below).  Dues will have to be postmarked no later than Feb. 15th.  If no payments have been received by Feb. 20th we will be penalizing teams based upon the rules (Article XI - B.1-3).  
• If you have any issues that needed to be addressed at the meeting, please bring them to our attention and we'll see what we can do to address them as timely as possible.
• Since there were no Letters of Intent for either the Vice President or Treasurer positions, both Colm and Jim will remain as their respective position for another 2 years.  
• Jack and I will have dart boards with us for distribution for those who purchased them over the fall, or would like to buy new ones.  Blade5 boards will be made available for $50/each.

Checks can be made payable to:   Southern Dutchess Dart League

Email me:  sddlsecretary@gmail.com if you need Jim's mailing address.  I'll get it to you ASAP.

The schedules on the website will be available for everyone at 8PM tonight.  This coincides with the start of what was supposed to be our meeting.
You will not need a login to view this information.  After 8PM they will be visible.

Thank you everyone,

Hello everyone, 

Now that we have all rosters in (40 in all!), let's start looking ahead to the Captain's Meeting next week at Last Chance.  Meeting will start at 8PM.  As a reminder, sponsor fees ($100) and team fees ($25) are due by the meeting.  Checks can be made payable to Southern Dutchess Dart League.  

There were no letters of intent for either the Vice President or Treasurer positions, so there will be no election this year.  

Looking forward to seeing everyone at the meeting!

Also of note, elections for Vice President and Treasure are to be held this spring.  If you have intentions of running for either one of these positions, please email the officers at:  officers@southerdutchessdartleague.com with your letter of intention.  All letters of intention are due by 1/15, with the election itself occurring on 1/29 @ the Captain's Meeting.  Attendance is required for all those running for positions.  If you would like to vote for any of the candidates, you need to attend the Captain's Meeting as well.

Hello Everyone, 

(Here) are the playoff brackets for this season.  As always, we play Tuesday and Thursday (Race to 17 Pts.), its 1 vs 4, 2 vs 3, higher seed has choice of starting home or away.  The only exception is if a higher division match up chooses to play a certain night at a sponsor who only has one board, or not enough space to accommodate four teams at once, in which case, the higher division match up has choice.  

As an example this year, The White House has both of their teams qualifying for the playoffs, but only has 1 playable board.  As per the rules, the higher division team (Reckless Darters) has choice as to starting home or away for the Tuesday match, with the lower division team (10-15 Over) having to start opposite of the higher division's choice.  Captains, please let each other know where you want to play, and also let me know ASAP so we can figure out any conflicts, and so the league can share the match ups with anyone who wants to come out and watch.

Please remember folks, we are off next week (12/4), with playoffs starting on 12/11.  

I'll be going around to the bars who won last years B, C, D, and E championships over the next week or so to pick up the traveling trophies, to award to the new champions.  I'm compiling the stats for the Final Standings and they will be released as usual on Friday.  

Good luck to all involved!
