[MMDL] ...Something Wicked This Way Comes... WCO Tournament Updates!

The Witching Hour is almost upon us!  It's high time to make your plans to attend this year's Witch City Open, MMDL's famous flagship tournament on October 18-20.  Keep reading below for all the latest updates on the event - there are A LOT OF 'EM....

Have you liked the WCO Facebook page yet!  Do it now! Click here.

> Sanctioning & Ranking Points from the ADO, BDO and WDF!  Longer 501 Format!

The WCO has secured national and international sanctioning from these three major darts organizations.  Participants of all 501 singles events (men's, women's AND youths) will be eligible for ranking points based on finishing placement. 501 singles competitions will also now have an extended long-format of play - see flyer for details.

> Welcome our new beer company sponsors and media partner!

MMDL is pleased to announce our new beer company sponsors and give a big welcome to Coors Light, Miller Lite, Corona, Pabst Blue Ribbon, Miller High Life and Woodstock Inn Brewery!

We also want to welcome our new official media partner, Tavern Player's Magazine, the hottest publication out there covering pub pastimes like darts, pool and more.   Make sure you visit them on Facebook and give them a like - click here.

> New main event flyer and youth events flyer!

Download the latest flyer that reflects our recent new sponsors and all the latest tournament updates, including schedule of play, fee and payout info.  To download the main tournament flyer - click here.

Bring the whole family!  Our new dedicated Youth Events Flyer outlines the complete schedule for all youth participants.  To download the youth events flyer - click here.

> BOOK YOUR ROOM NOW BEFORE THE "LEAF PEEPERS"!

October is prime time in New England for the foliage tourist crowd, so make sure you book your room early and ensure you're not locked out of the tournament room block.   The Nashua Courtyard Marriott has rooms available at the "Darter's Rate" ($89 for a single/double) until September13th (a little over 2 weeks from today).  Be sure to mention "Witch City Open and Minute Man Dart League" to get the special room rate.

After this date, the rate will likely go double or more and be scooped up quickly by tourists coming for the fall foliage season, so act now to make sure you get a reservation.  For room reservations, please call 603-880-9100You can cancel your reservation up to 24 hours prior to the event with absolutely no fee or penalty, so there's little risk, even if you're not 100% sure you're going to be able to attend -- but you can still make sure you have a room.

> Become a WCO Tournament sponsor!

Support the tournament and put your ad or message on one or more dartboard stands in the heavily trafficked playing hall.  Sponsors will also receive acknowledgement in a future issue of Tavern Player's Magazine!  Packages start at $25.  For complete information on how to become a sponsor, download the sponsorship flyer - click here.

[MMDL] Win a Free Set of SEWA Darts - a top 5 dart at Red Dragon!

Here's your chance to WIN a FREE set of SEWA darts!

SEWA is one of the most popular online forums for dart players, with loads of information and a very helpful community of fellow dart lovers.  The site's founder, Erik McVay, recently fulfilled one of his dreams and got his own custom designed dart on the market through Red Dragon, one of the premier dart companies in the UK.  To celebrate, Erik is generously offering a free set of his darts to someone in the MMDL community!

ABOUT THE SEWA DART:
The SEWA Dart's smooth transition from tip to shaft is exceptional for reducing deflections. The dart's unique design allows them to be larger, feeling like a 28 gram dart in the hand whilst weighing only 22 or 24 grams giving perfect balance, especially for players with large hands.

SEE BELOW for HOW TO ENTER.  Here's a picture of the dart with a link to them on Amazon:



If you just can't wait to own a set of this innovative new dart, they're also available on Amazon!  Read the reviews there and see what others think about these barrels.

HOW TO ENTER TO WIN THE SEWA DARTS - DEADLINE FOR ENTRY:  August 31, 2013

All you have to do is visit the SEWA online forums, register an account there and then make a post in the special thread inside the MMDL section of the site.

To visit the main page of the site, click here.
To register an account, click here.
To post in the thread and complete your entry to win, click here In your post, please tell us what are the most important characteristics that you look for when choosing a new set of darts (weight, grip, shape, etc.).

Winner will be selected at random by Erik himself.

Erik is also running other separate giveaways through SEWA, so if you register there, you'll find even more chances to win a set.

ENTER TODAY and get your hands on what is currently the 5th most popular dart on the Red Dragon website.

Good luck to all that enter!
