Rules & Regulations

Entry Fee’s

£50 per team, all fees to be paid before the league starts.

Match Fees

£20 per team. For a 4 person team, £5 per player. If more than 4 players, we recommend £3 for playing singles and £2 for playing pairs.

Teams can send match fees by electronic bank transfer as per the account and sort code provided in your packs. However, you do have the option to deliver your match fees should you decide to. 

Each team must send match fees by no later than 10pm on the Sunday evening after the Tuesday night
fixture. Failure to pay subs by this time will result in a 5-point deduction. Please
reference your team’s name when sending payment. O
ne team can submit
both team fees for that match, but only if both teams agree. Please don’t
assume the other team is happy to transfer your match fees

Format

League: 2 pairs (3 legs of 601) followed by 4 singles (5 legs of 501).
All legs to be played, 1 point awarded for each leg won, making a total of 26 points available to be won per fixture.

Cup: Has reverted to the same format as league games. Should the result be level (13-13) at the end of the game, a deciding leg of 1001 to be played to determine a winner (Team Knockout only).

Cancellation of a Fixture

All teams can play the fixture if they only have 3 players available. This means during the pairs match, the team with only 3 players misses alternate throws against the opposition. In the singles they forfeit all 5 legs.
The team with 4 players can then pick a player to play against from the opposition, so their fourth player can play for their tons etc.

All cancellations must go through the league coordinator, Richard Smith.

If for any reason a fixture is cancelled, the none offending team will then offer two dates to the team that cancelled so they can play the fixture. If neither team can meet the dates provided, the league coordinator will give you a date when the fixture will be played. If then it still does not go ahead, both teams will be given average points across the season, such as wins, tons, maximums etc.

Individual Awards

High check out, fastest leg, 180’s and tons will only count in league matches, they will not count in cup and plate matches. Only tons, 180’s etc will be accountable if they are on the result sheet on the night, a telephone call the following day will not count.

Result Sheets

Full name must be filled in clearly, failure to do this will cost your team a 5 point deduction from your winning or losing fixture total. It is both the home team and the away team captains responsibility to make sure all your scores etc are correct before the result sheet is signed and submitted.

All results sheets to be uploaded to the Whatsapp group ‘Tuesday Darts Results’ at the end of the game. If submitting match fees in person, and not by electronic bank transfer, please enclose the result sheet with your match subs to the address provided in your pack.  These are to be posted no later than 8pm on the Wednesday evening after the Tuesday night fixture.

The result sheet comes in two parts. The top section is to be completed during the game, to record tons, maximums etc as they are scored. The bottom section is to be completed in your clearest handwriting to provide all the details of the game that will be allocated to the teams and individuals scores for the season.

Scoreboards

Preference is that all venues to supply a chalk or drywipe marking board. However, electronic scoreboards can be used if there is a chalk/drywipe board to mark tons, 180’s, checkouts and fastest legs.

Facilities

All venues to supply a raised oche that is 7ft 9 1/4 inches from the face of the board and a height of 5ft 8inches to the bull.

If you think for any reason the board at any venue does not seem correct, please inform a committee member and we will investigate.

If stepping to the side of an oche to take your throw, please ensure you do not step in front of the oche. The oche should be considered a straight line, not a curve.
