[MMDL] Playoffs are coming! Schedules now posted

Will your team be left standing when MMDL's "Second Season" begins?  Can anyone go from worst to first like a certain fuzzy baseball team? Any guys (or gals) gonna use the playoffs as an excuse to quit shaving?

----------
** Don't forget about this Sunday's FREE ADO Cricket Qualifier at the Beverly Elks. Come play cricket until your arm falls off!  Click here for more info.
----------

Good luck to all teams in their quest for the prestigious State Championship of the World's Largest Steel Tip League!  It's time to find out which teams are legit contenders!

Please download your area playoff schedule and read the important reminders below. Most importantly, please check with your home sponsor about any holiday season parties that may conflict with playoff matches, particularly any Thursdays that you are scheduled to play so that you can make alternative arrangements.  Proactive communication goes a long way.

http://mmdlemails.blogspot.com/2013/11/mmdl-help-us-celebrate-womens-darts-and.html

* 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.
