[MMDL] Playoff Schedules Are Now Posted - Start Your Planning Now

The MMDL's "Second Season" is about to begin!  Will your team make it further than the Celtics and Bruins this year?

Good luck to all teams in their quest for the prestigious State Championship of the World's Largest Steel Tip League!  This is where the best step up and those who can't meet the challenge go fishing!

Please download your area playoff schedule and read the important reminders below. Most importantly, please check with your home sponsor about any potential conflicts with playoff matches, particularly any Thursdays that you are scheduled to play so that you can make alternative arrangements.  If your sponsor has multiple teams, make sure you check with them to avoid overcrowding. Proactive communication goes a long way.

DARTS ON TV! - If you've not heard, Showtime and 60-Minute sports will be airing a feature program on the sport of darts focused on its popularity in the UK.  These types of things are very rare in the US, so please support our pastime by watching or recording this program.  For more information, click here.

* PLAYOFF SCHEDULES * - Click below to download your area's playoff schedule.  Please note that schedules are subject to change and are updated frequently during the post season.  Always check the date code printed on the schedule to ensure you have the most recent version.
IMPORTANT REMINDERS FOR PLAYOFF TEAMS:

  1. PLAYOFF ELIGIBILITY: Please remember that all players must have played in a minimum of 3 regular season matches in order to qualify for the playoffs.  Players who have been deemed ineligible by the league will have their names appear in italics on the MMDL Stats Website.  If you have any questions about this policy, please contact your Area Director or the League Commissioner.

  2. Please remember to remind your sponsor about the possibility for Thursday night playoff matches and check their schedule for conflicts with parties or other events. If your sponsor  hosts multiple teams, please check for conflicts to avoid overcrowding.

  3. Winning captains - DON'T FORGET - report playoff match results immediately following your win, call or email your area director as instructed on the playoff schedule sheet.

  4. Driving Directions to Opponent's Sponsor are available from the MMDL Stats Website. Note: May not contain every sponsor, if you don't find yours, try mapquest.com or Google Maps.

  5. IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS regarding the playoffs, please contact your Area Director.  ADs are extremely busy during the playoffs and have many other captains to consider, so please be patient and make sure you have all of your information and questions at hand when contacting them. AD contact info is listed on your area playoff schedule or click here.

  6. Playoff Results will be reported after each round is completed on the MMDL website - the downloadable schedule will be updated with advancing teams.  Make sure you check the schedule date code to ensure you have the most up to date version.

  7. TIP: For a match report, since these are not mailed into the league, you may use an extra blank regular season match report (separate the three carbons so you have three copies to use), or just a blank piece of paper.  To download a blank match report that you can print out, click here.
