Mark retired from the board prior to the fall 2009 season but continued on as league statistician through the end of the fall 2012 season. The following retrospective of Mark's MMDL career was provided by another former board member, John Bullock.
-->
In the mid 1970's, while playing darts at the Sand Trap in Danvers, Mark Ingoldsby was approached by one of the league's early officers, Don Skane, who asked if he could print the weekly stats sheet through Mark's family printing business in Danvers. Mark said that he would be willing to take on the job and his involvement with the league began.
Mark's family printing company fronted all the money for postage, captains kits etc. for the start of many seasons until the MMDL was financially sound and could take over the costs. After stabilizing this enormous undertaking, Mark, Don Skane & crew knew the MMDL was going to "FLY" under "non-profit" control and the league started to become a full, legitimate business and major player in the world of darts.
Working with Don Skane, Bill Batty and Harvey Sankey, Mark started with less than a 100 teams and began doing the stats every week -- typing the team standings in descending order entirely by hand for many years.
