[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.

[MMDL] Submitting Match Reports via Email

MMDL is looking for team captains who wish to submit weekly match reports via email. This program was created to increase the speed and reliability of reporting match scores and we have made some recent improvements such as providing a later deadline for submission.

Here are the basic requirements and details for this program:
  • You must have an email address which you use and check on a regular basis.
  • You must have the ability to scan or otherwise convert hard copy match reports into a .pdf document that can be printed and read by the league statistician.
  • You must check the legibility of your scanned documents before transmitting and they must be similar in quality to the hard copy.
  • Remember to write "Scanned" at the top of your hard copy of the match report before scanning.
  • Remember to write the Area and Division names in the subject line of the email.
  • Match reports must be sent via email no later than 11:59pm on the Thursday following your match.
  • You will NOT need to mail in the white copy of your match report.
If you are interested in participating and/or have any questions, please contact Becky Wainwright at becky@mmdl.org or 978-882-3119.



MMDL NEWS

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!
