FW: [MMDL] Week 9 Standings & League Announcements

Dear MMDL Member:
 
Attached please find the Week 9 standings for the Spring 2009 season.
 
What should we do with Super A?
The league is considering several proposals to return the Super A division into the league structure.  We realize that this has many implications regarding competitiveness, scheduling and divisional alignment that affects many teams and players. If you have an interest in determining the outcome of this issue, you are strongly encouraged to have your voice be heard and participate in the discussions, beginning with participating in the following poll on the MMDL forums, located here:  http://www.minutemandartleague.freeforums.org/who-wants-super-a-t349.html
 
PREVIEW: New MMDL Stats Website
We invite you to take an early peek at a new website that the league is developing to modernize administration of players, stats and standings.  You may register an account there and begin poking around, but please be aware this is still in the early "beta" stages of development, so you may encounter incomplete or inaccurate information (particularly roster and player information).  Over the months between now and the fall season, we will be outlining the various changes that this system will require all of us to embrace, so it is essential that league members (especially captains) pay attention and remain informed during this time of transition.
 
A thread discussing this site has already been started at the SEWA forums located here - we invite you to join in the discussion and provide your feedback:  http://www.sewa-darts.com/modules.php?name=Forums&file=viewtopic&t=14821
 
If you have any difficulties registering an account on the site, please contact MMDL Technical Director, Mark Clifford: markc@mmdl.org
 
>  MMDL 501 Singles  Championship:
Women's competition added!  There will be 2 levels of play added to the Area Qualifiers.

> FREE ADO Qualifier - 04/26 - Beverly Elks:
This is the second event in the MMDL free ADO qualifier program.  In February, we sent 5 MMDL players to the regional, a value of $110/person and hope to do the same or better at this next round.  A minimum of 2 and a potential of 6 players will qualify for the ADO East/West All Stars 501 regional competition to be held May 23 at the Barn in Amesbury.  Please note, this event is the day after the MMDL North Shore Singles qualifier, same location, so plan to make a weekend out of it.
 
 
The qualifier will be run by MMDL North Shore ADO Representative, Jason Demers. The MMDL is also seeking individuals to become ADO representatives for the Boston, Central and South Shore areas. Please direct any questions to Jason at jayceltics@yahoo.com.
 
> South Shore Area Director Election this Summer:
This is a reminder to all South Shore Captains that this summer there will be an election for a new Area Director to replace Suzanne Flannery.  The AD position is of great importance to the smooth running of the league and is responsible for collecting rosters and fees, formulating divisions and creating the schedule of play, as well as being the captain's chief point of contact for any issues.  The election will take place at this summer's captains meeting.  If you are not able to attend the meeting, you are advised to send a proxy who can vote on your team's behalf.  There are currently two candidates who have declared interest in the position.  We encourage you to seek them out if you see them in your area and get to know them so you can be informed on whom you wish to vote for.
 
The candidates for SS AD are:
Chris Ryan - chrisryan180@verizon.net or 781-718-3008
Scott Gargiulo - clamiesam166@comcast.net or 781-831-4028
 
Both candidates will likely be at the May 9 MMDL Singles Qualifier at the Braintree Moose to speak with any league members.
 
> North American Darts Championship & Greater Boston Open - May 29-31
As previously announced, the Professional Darts Corporation has moved the NADC to our backyard in Boxborough, MA, and there will also be a Greater Boston Open tournament the same weekend.  It would be a great mark of pride for the league if an MMDL member were to win these major events, and we have several members capable, so get out to the many upcoming tourneys for practice.

FW: [MMDL] Week 6 Standings

 Dear MMDL Member:
 
Attached please find the Week 6 Standings for the Spring 2009 season.
 
St. Patrick's Day is Next Week! - Don't forget that this year's St. Patrick's Day holiday (March 17) falls on dart night Tuesday.  Please look ahead on your schedule and find out if the home bar that night will have a conflict with your dart match and please be proactive in communicating with your opponent.  In the name of good sportsmanship, be flexible in scheduling any needed makeups with teams who can not play that night at their sponsor's site.  The MMDL wishes everyone a safe and happy holiday.
 
Correction - In last week's email, we announced the PDC's North American Open and mistakenly posted that this event takes place on Memorial Day weekend, when, if fact, it is scheduled for May 31, which is the weekend after the holiday.
 
------------
Good luck to all MMDL players participating at this weekend's Montachusett Winter Classic at the Leominster Eagles. Information on this and other upcoming tourneys is below.

From: mmdl-news-and-announcements@googlegroups.com [mailto:mmdl-news-and-announcements@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of MMDL Board of Directors
Sent: Friday, February 06, 2009 1:07 PM
To: mmdl-news-and-announcements@googlegroups.com
Subject: [MMDL] Week 1 Standings

Dear MMDL Member:
 
Attached please find the Week 1 standings for the Spring 2009 season.
 
This week's announcements:
 
ALL TEAMS - How NOT to Lose Points:
1. You MUST write your area on the match report. Include either "Bos", "N.S.", "S.S.", or "Cent." along with A1, B3 etc. North Shore teams, please note: Stars, Stripes, Banner etc. no longer exist.
Too many points are lost due to no area or wrong division on reports. This is an easy fix, please use the correct division name please!
 
2. Mail your report immediately following the match or by Wednesday AM at the latest. Thursday is too late (except for teams with Wed. home games) and you will risk losing points.
 
3. Please be aware of the new P.O. Box. Do not mail to the old P.O. Box.  The envelopes you received in your captain's kits have the correct and current address.  Please discard any old envelopes from previous seasons.
 
4. If you are submitting a report for a makeup match, you must write "Makeup Match" at the top of the report to avoid losing points for a late submission.
 
Coming Soon...
Stay tuned for a special announcement about a new MMDL-sponsored ADO Qualifier Tournament this month.
 
Corrrection...
Inside your team captain's kit was an information sheet that included the order of play and chalker rotation.  The cricket section contained an error: where it says "has choice for cork" should have instead been "shoots first". Please make a note of this - a corrected version of this sheet is attached.
 
Winter Weather Advisory
This winter has seen above average snowfall and some teams have asked if there is an MMDL weather cancellation policy.  In general, the league will rarely, if ever, cancel league matches as the need for makeups should be avoided when possible due to scheduling and time constraints. However, all MMDL teams are advised to stay up to date on their local weather and travel conditions and to use common sense to decide whether or not a makeup match is necessary. Please be proactive in communicating with your opposing captain about late starts or the need to postpone.  IMPORTANT NOTE: If you are playing a makeup match, you must write "Makeup Match" on the match report form to avoid point deductions for late submission.
