[MMDL] April showers bring May Playoff flowers...


North / South / Central / Boston
In each division, there can be only one...will it be you?  

...bring home the golden cup for your sponsor and area...
It's time for beatdowns, comebacks and upsets...the MMDL Playoffs!




Good luck to all teams in their quest for the prestigious State Championship of the World's Largest Steel Tip League!  Time to make your push to the end, finish strong and start preparing for the postseason challenge!

Please download your area playoff schedule and read the important reminders below. Most importantly, please check with your home sponsor about parties or events 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, a quick phone call can prevent a lot of headaches.

* 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 holiday 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 carbons so you have 2 copies to use), or just use a blank piece of paper.  To download a blank match report that you can print out, click here.

Attn: DartConnect Users!  DartConnect Help Page - Click Here
If you are using DartConnect for the playoffs, please note the following:

  • If using Season Pass, when you open up "Match Setup" you will have access to ALL playoff teams that you may face. Tap the home team on left and away team on right as usual.  If a team is missing, tap "Manage League Rosters" to find and activate them.
  • Double Check roster info -- check with the other team's captain and add any missing players using the instructions on the DartConnect Help Page.  If there are missing emails for the other team, ask their players, or at least the captain, if they wish to add them to receive match recaps
  • Ending at 13 Points & OT: When a team reaches 13 total points in the second playoff match, manually end the match by tapping "Options" and the red button labled "End & Save Match". If tied at 12 points, click "Options" again and select green button "Reset Match Settings" to continue playing overtime games.

[MMDL] Week 6 Update & Roster Change Policy Reminders


NEW LOCAL TOURNAMENT UPDATES!

Reminder about MMDL Roster Change Policies:

The following is meant to clarify MMDL's policies on adding or replacing players on your team roster.

It is ESSENTIAL for all MMDL Team Captains to understand and comply with the league roster change policies.  These policies were designed to ensure equitable and fair competition for all divisions. MMDL understands that the unpredictability of life often results in players dropping out mid-season, or other reasons for additions or replacements, but we must also be protective of the integrity of league competition while preventing abuse of these rules and have therefore created these policies to offer a fair and standard process for all.

DON'T LOSE POINTS - Every season, many captains lose valuable match points because they do not follow the proper procedure when making a roster change.  Every point counts in a team's quest for the playoffs, so if you must make a change to your team roster, it is in your best interest to adhere to the following:

Use of an unregistered/unapproved player will result in match penalty points.

  • All roster changes must be approved by your area director before the new player can play in a match.  Make sure that you have received an email or verbal permission from your AD before using a new player.

  • Teams are allowed to make up to three (3) roster changes before week 8 of the regular season. Absolutely no roster changes will be allowed after this deadline.  You must submit your roster change request to your Area Director AT LEAST 24 HOURS PRIOR to your scheduled Week 8 match and receive approval prior to using new players.

  • Your official roster can be checked at any time on the MMDL Stats Website.  If a player's name does not appear on this site as a member of your team, then they are not approved to play.

PROACTIVE COMMUNICATION WITH YOUR AREA DIRECTOR IS KEY!

For a list of Area Director's email and phone #s, see your captain's kit or click here.
