2.1.6 Playoff Eligibility To be eligible for the playoffs all seasons a player must shoot 50% of the minimum games available per player in the season. Minimum games per player per season is computed using the following formula and reported on the standings page of the WMDA website.
FORMULA: Minimum number of games available on the scoresheet divided by 8 players, times the # of weeks in the season Minimum games to be eligible (and season/division specific calculations) will be published with documentation at the Captain’s Meeting prior to each season.
The following terms are defined for clarity:
Match: The entirety of the night’s play; the total number of games played.
Game: One of up to three elements of a match for which up to 3 points are assigned.
Leg: A segment of each game played for which one point is assigned.
Turn: 3 darts thrown (if all are needed and/or count), darts scored, retrieved and player crosses back over the ochre (toe line).
2.4.5 Tied Match – Playoff Only In the event that a playoff match is tied at the completion of the standard format, a minimum of 4 team members will shoot a 1001 game straight in and double out. All players will shoot in order and take turns score keeping unless someone is available to keep score.
2.4.6 1001 – Shorthanded In the unlikely event that a 1001 game must be played AND a team has LESS than 4 people available to shoot (someone leaves early), that team will shoot short-handed and receive no score for those players who are short of the minimum of four (4) shooters.
If you have any questions, please contact me asap.
Thanks,

Important Information - Sep 8, 2024 - Diane Zepp
Captains,
It has come to my attention that dart players have brought alcohol inside an establishment. This is against Liquor Board laws. Bringing alcohol from the outside is NOT permitted.
If a player is found in possession of any alcohol that has not been purchased at their bar, said player will suffer consequences brought by the Board.
Your responsibility as Captain will be to pass this information along to ALL your players. Make certain that you are aware of this rule going forward.
Questions, please contact me.
Thanks,
Diane Zepp

1.1.6 Conduct
1.1.6.1 General
As a team captain, you are responsible for the overall conduct of your team and its members. Violence of any sort will not be tolerated. Anyone who initiates any sort of physical contact will be automatically suspended from league play until determined by the Board of Directors. Threat of harm is considered assault and can be dealt with as harshly. Throwing objects, poor sportsmanship, poor conduct, bad language, and intimidating, verbal abuse will not be tolerated and will be dealt with on a case by case basis by the board. Continued violations of these policies could result in probation and/or suspension from the league. Destruction of property will not be tolerated. Any willful destruction of property by a WMDA player towards a bar could result in that player being responsible for repair and/or replacement of any damaged property at the cost of the WMDA player as well as possible probation and/or suspension from the league. If you as a player or captain witness any of these infractions by anyone please notify the board by email, written or verbal complaint so the board can address the situation and take action. Reports shall include: time and date of occurrence, first and last name of persons involved, as well as any other witnesses (optional) and a detailed account of the occurrence. Any person or persons who come forth can receive complete anonymity if they so choose.
1.1.6.2 Disciplinary Meetings
Members involved in any sort of altercation or violation of the conduct guideline 1.1.6.1 will be allowed to present or defend their actions and/or charges at either a special or regular meeting of the board of directors. After hearing all parties associated with the infraction, determination of disciplinary action will be voted upon by the board of directors.
1.1.6.3 Penalties and Enforcement
Any team captain who fails to meet the responsibilities and expectations of a team captain may be prohibited from holding a team captaincy at the sole discretion of the Board of Directors. Examples of captains’ irresponsibility include, but are not limited to:
- Repeated failure to collect and pay league fees in a timely manner
- Repeated failure to submit league paperwork (rosters, score sheets, etc) in a timely manner
- Wanton disregard for league etiquette, courtesy and sportsmanship
