Fall 2017 Banquet

T o n s o f N e w s l e t t e r Home to the Fall Session of the Raleigh Dart League for the Banquet, Saturday, December 9, 2017 Issue #JK704 The "This Is Probably About As Close To A 'Royal' Wedding As I Will Ever Care To Be" Edition <ul style="display: flex;"><li style="flex:1">TOURNAMENT WINNERS </li><li style="flex:1">TABLE OF CONTENTS </li></ul>"A" Division - Appetite for Destruction (13-11) <ul style="display: flex;"><li style="flex:1">Item </li><li style="flex:1">Page Number </li></ul>Appetite ends Element's 5-Mug run by pulling out a 501 sweep (just as they did in their week 14 win), punctuated by a Michael Johnson T80 and a pair of quick 20-darters in the final 3-game set. "B" Division - Dartistic Expression (13-11) Tournament & Regular Season Winning Teams Spring 2018 RDL Season Information Final Divisional Standings 1123Final Divisional Tournament Results Dartistic finally escapes going to 1001 with Methodical (where Methodical had dumped them twice previously), thus completing an ultimate nailbiter Mug run, with 12-12, 13-11, and 13-11 wins. "C" Division - Flightmare (13-3) Tournament & Regular Season Winning Team Rosters Sp'18 season dates, Tiebreaker Summary, good lessons Tournament Trophy Dart Awards Other Tournament Hot Darts 4455 After winning the season race by 5 matches and 50 points (the second-biggest margin of victory), Flightmare rolls to one of the most dominant tournament runs this fall, only reaching 501 once. "D" Division - Dysfunctional Outlaws (12+-12) Dysfunctional becomes the only team outside of a "top two" from the regular season to take home a set of Mugs, outlasting the Bandits (who they also thumped during the season) in a 1001! "E" Division - Inglourious Darters (14-4) After trading equal wins and ending the season with identical win/loss records, Inglourious really separates themselves from WINNAU in the final, not even taking the match to the 501s. "F" Division - Bull Hunters (14-6) The Bull Hunters claim their third consecutive set of Mugs (first H, then G, now F), completing an absolutely dominant season/ tournament double in which no competitor was ever all that close.

Wednesday, Jan. 3rd - Spring season registration, Upper Deck (online registration should be available in the days immediately prior to the 3rd - Membership Director Heather Bohanan will likely be in charge of early registration, and she will likely hook it up through the website and accept payments through PayPal) Wed., Jan. 17th - Preseason capts.' mtg./packet pickup, Upper Deck Wednesday, January 24th - Start of Spring season match play Monday, February 26th - Fifth week captains' meeting, Upper Deck Wed., May 2 / 9 / 16 - Spring season divisional tournaments Saturday, May 19th - Spring season banquet, site TBD Given the fact that effectively 6 of our 8 divisions had a bye, this season's total of 42 tiebreakers is really quite a pile. We even had a tournament Mug decided in an extra leg! Nice… B division posted the top number with a huge 10 tiebreakers (with 1 of those in the tournament), followed closely by the 8 played by G division. Next up were C (with 6), A (with 5, 1 of those coming in the tournament), D (with 5, also 1 of those coming in the tournament), and E (with 4). Tying for last were F and H, with 2 each (with 1 of H's coming in the tournament). That total of 42 tiebreakers thus includes 38 during the regular season and 4 in the tournaments -- interestingly, 3 of those 4 tournament tiebreakers were won by teams that won the Mugs for their division (so not all the winners were all dominant, eh?). There were 10 teams that each played 3 or more 1001 games, with four of those playing 4 or more. In the end, the title of Cardiac Kids (for most tiebreakers played) was shared by Methodical Madness in B division and Irish Ton in G division, who each played in FIVE tiebreakers (with both teams posting 3-2 records). THIS… THIS IS HOW YOU DO IT The right way to come back from a thrower error In our A division finals match, Michael Johnson of Appetite for Destruction made a critical error in DCkt, popping a triple on a closed number. The shot quite likely cost them the game and the set. But did he fume and blow up? Nope. He bonked himself on the head, then he forgot the hell all about it. And he came back and won the final set of 501 for the Mugs, hitting a 180 and both outs. He was smart enough to leave the shot behind. It's over and there's nothing you can do about it, so he didn't worry about it. And it paid off in a big way. I guess that's how you become a state singles cricket champion, eh? Lesson to be learned here, folks… This season's Heartbreak Award officially goes to Chalker's Nightmare in G division, as the only team that lost as many as 3 1001s (posting exactly an 0-3 record). But a case could certainly be made for an honorable mention for the One Armed Bandits in C division, who only lost one 1001 (their only one played)… in the C Mug final.
