> 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.
