[MMDL] Week 4 Standings & Special Message from the BOD

ATTN: All MMDL players and team captains - There have been a few reports of incidents at recent dart matches involving players displaying poor sportsmanship, violent behavior and general disrespect of the game, our league sponsors and fellow teams and players. MMDL matches are intended to be a fun and safe evening of competition for all involved.

The MMDL Board of Directors wishes to remind all team captains and players that we have a zero tolerance policy for any types of violence or unlawful acts and will deal accordingly with any properly reported infractions. The official rules regarding player personal conduct are listed below for clarification. 

ARTICLE IX - PERSONAL CONDUCT

  1. Heckling or other harassment is strictly forbidden. It is the home team's responsibility to maintain the best of order during League play.
  2. The repeated use of foul or insulting language shall be considered just cause for the penalizing of the offender and his/her team by the Area Director and/or the MMDL Board of Directors.
  3. ANY ACTS OF PHYSICAL VIOLENCE OR PROPERTY DAMAGE SHOULD BE REPORTED TO LOCAL POLICE DEPARTMENTS AND THE AREA DIRECTOR.
  4. Talking by members of the opposing team, within earshot of the shooter, about the current game or match, or any other subject, for the express purpose of distracting the shooter is not only impolite but poor sportsmanship and could result in a penalty to the offending team
  5. Any acts of violence will not be tolerated for any reason! If a player is found guilty of an unlawful act at a match they will be BANNED from future play in MMDL.

Click here to review the complete MMDL ruleset. Contact your area director if you have any questions.

WCO Hotel Update: Great news if you still haven't booked your hotel room yet, the Nashua Courtyard Marriott has extended our group rate ($85 single/double) to September 21st. After that the "foliage peeping tom" rate goes in effect and will likely be double the fee and sell out quick, so call them this weekend and make sure you're not shut out: 603-880-9100. You can cancel up to 24 hours in advance with no penalty, so there's little risk in securing a room even if you're not 100% sure you can make the event. Book now!

[MMDL] Week 1 Standings

Results for Week 1 of the Fall 2012 season are available on the MMDL Statistics Website.  Follow the link below to review the scores and notables for your area.  Missing scores may be due to scores not being mailed soon enough. 

IMPORTANT REMINDERS:

Please mail your match reports immediately following the match. This will greatly help faster processing of weekly scores.

FILLING OUT MATCH REPORTS - Captains are urged to remember the following:

  • DO NOT use old return envelopes from previous seasons - USE ONLY the envelopes provided to you in this season's captain's kit. The league has changed Post Office Boxes recently and old envelopes will not be delivered which will result in penalty points for your team.
  • Mail the TOP WHITE COPY in the envelope provided.  Pink and yellow copies are for both captain's records. You are advised to store these sheets until the season is over in case of disputes or to examine for point deductions.
  • Write legibly (!!!) - if the name of the player, team, points and other information can not be easily read, this increases the chance for errors and delays the publishing of the standings
  • Use First and Last names - so proper credit can be given to the correct player for wins, losses and notables.
  • Start and End Times should be recorded in the space provided
  • Assign one of your players to review the report for accuracy at the end of the match to prevent point deductions.
  • DO NOT tear, doodle on or otherwise deface the report - have respect for the person who must process hundreds of them in a short time window
  • For additional tips and guidance on this subject, click here.
  • Tired of Mailing Match Reports?  Want to send them via email?  If you are interested in participating in this program, please contact Becky Wainwright at becky@mmdl.org.  For more information - click here.
Complying with the above is extremely important for our ability to process several hundred weekly match reports in a timely and accurate manner.  Your cooperation is greatly appreciated!
