Last November, we launched the MMDL Flight School program to help dedicated players looking for a way to take their game to the next level. Several league players have been having great success with this personalized coaching system, and we are now ready to offer this once again to MMDL players and expand the ranks of flight school participants.
"MMDL Flight School" is a structured program designed to help anyone, from beginners to pros, willing to put in the time to take their dart game to the highest level possible. You'll follow a practice program designed by the legendary George Silberzahn, author of "Mastering the Art of Darts" and "Darts - Beginning to End," and be coached by Frank Smith, longtime MMDL member and multiple Super A State Champion.
Flight School is more than just a set of practice routines, Flight School is customized to the individual, and will help you address your personal dart game, including both the physical and mental aspects of high performance.
Flight School is a "remote" program, meaning you will receive coaching via email, and will be given goals and routines to work on at home at your own pace and fit into whatever time you have available.
Flight School is absolutely FREE. If you have the time and dedication, there is absolutely no reason why you shouldn't give the program a try. This program is open to any MMDL player with the desire to improve. If you would like to join MMDL Flight School, please send an email to Frank Smith at tazinmass@comcast.net

Dear MMDL Member:
Results for Week 1 of the Spring 2010 season are now available on the MMDL Statistics Website Follow the link below to review the scores for your area:
If your team's points are missing, it is possible that your report was mailed late or there was a problem processing it (see the match report instructions printed on your captain's kit, item #14). Captains should contact their Division Rep or AD to inquire about missing points.
If you are new to the Stats Website (stats.mmdl.org), to view the standings:
At the above website, click the link in the upper left labeled "league standings".
On the next page, make sure "Spring 2010" (or "Spring 2010-SA" for Super A standings) is selected in the drop-down menu and click the name of the area you wish to view (e.g. Boston, Central, North, South)
Note: Partial results may be available while match reports are being entered. Standings are typically completed by the end of the same week and this weekly email will be sent once the week's batch has been fully entered.
To view roster information and personal statistics, you must first create an account on the system (click the link for "create an account"). Once you have created an account, you MUST send an email with your username to MMDL Board Member, Dan Doherty (dand@mmdl.org), to have your new account connected to your statistics. You may also contact Dan if you need assistance creating your account.
> REMINDERS FOR CAPTAINS:
FILLING OUT MATCH REPORTS - With the new online stat system it is imperative that captains remember the following:
Mail the TOP WHITE COPY in the envelope provided. Pink and yellow copies are for both captain's records. You are advised to store these sheets until the season is over in case of disputes or to examine for point deductions.
Write legibly - if the name of the player, team, points and other information can not be easily read, this increases the chance for errors and delays the publishing of the standings
Use First and Last names - so proper credit can be given to the correct player for wins and losses.
Cross Out names of players who did not actually play in the match before you sign and mail your sheet.
Complying with the above is extremely important for our ability to process over 400 weekly match reports in a timely and accurate manner.
