Imagine a local darting event with 10 dart boards set up and needing all 10 to play the prelimary round of a blind draw.
That happened at the Turkey Shoot when 52 people showed up for the Seeded Blind Draw.
Around the time the field had been reduced to the round of 8, the food was served. Counting family, friends and darters not playing in the blind draw, there were probably 80 or more people who sat down together to enjoy an outstanding Thanksgiving feast. The diners filled both the Legion Hall and the Bar. Huge thanks to the Legion for providing the space required to allow everybody to sit down and comfortably enjoy a meal together.
In the Seeded Blind Draw, once the 26 teams were whittled down to 4, the players still throwing were Nick M and MarkR vs. Sherry B and Rich P. The other match was Craig (a youth darter) and Kenny C vs. Ron D and Rick L. All the matches went 3 games before Nick and Mark faced off against Ron and Rick in the finals.
Both the finals and the consolation match went all 3 legs. Final results: 1st - Nick and Mark. 2nd - Ron and Rick. 3rd - Craig and Kenny. 4th - Sherry and Rich. It's worth noting that Nick drove 14-1/2 hous and basically pulled an all-nighter to get to this event, as he was out of town the day before. There's an example of dedication and the rewards you can get for that.
There were 40 entries in the Unseeded Blind Draw. The Final 4 came down to Rick L and Danny E vs. Danny S and Jim F. The other match was Ian and Bryan B vs. Steve and Gaylon N.
In the finals Steve and Gaylon beat Danny S and Jim. In the consolation match Rick and Danny E took 3rd. Ian and Bryan took 4th.
Huge thanks to Rich P and Dillon's for the turkeys for the meal. The ladies of the Legion Auxiliary did an outstanding job preparing the food. It was a great weekend to be a darter in Wichita.

Welcome home, Dwayne
Dwayne C returned from Iraq and brought his squad to the Legion for a celebration of their return to the States.
Huge congratulations to Dwayne and his squad for what they did overseas and their coming home. Huge congratulations to the people other than Dwayne who were involved in this celebration. This was one of the best events I have attended in my life.
Savage played like an inspired band. This was one of the best performances I've heard Savage play. It was a special occassion and Savage gave an exceptional and inspired performance.
Shortly after Savage began rocking the house, a Legion Riders color brigade showed up with a special flag they presented to Dwayne's squad. The Legion Riders expressed their thanks and appreciation for what Dwayne and his squad had done for our country. A packed Legion Hall sat in silence. Rick didn't need a microphone for everyone to hear the thanks to Dwayne and his unit.
Dwayne took the stage and gave an emotional and heartfelt thanks to his unit for what they had done for him and what they meant to him. I doubt there would have been a dry eye in the building if Dwayne had gone on another minute, but Dwayne had perfect timing and left the stage to a raucous standing ovation.
The guitar player from Savage followed that with a stirring rendition of Jimi Hendrix version of the Star Spangled Banner.
After celebrating and honoring the return of our Vets from Iraq it was time to get on with the party.
Savage was on fire. Every Savage performance is great. This one I'd have to call exceptional. Pam S sat in for a set and did some great vocal work. Pam doing "Gloria" is always memorable.
36 people entered the dart tournament. The field included some nationally-ranked darters.
In the finals, Dwayne C and Richard C beat Shelley H and Dale C. In the consolation match for 3rd and 4th the team of Hassler and Gribbon beat Tony and Bubba. Tony is a darter that recently moved to Wichita from KC and is a fairly regular player at the Legion's Friday blind draws.
All in all - an exceptional party. I think the thing that said it best was the look on Dwayne's face and the look on his son's face when Dwayne was playing with his son. That's the kind of thing you just don't ever forget.

WDA memberships are $7.50
The vote to raise dues to $10 was done at a BoD meeting at Mary's. At that time it was recognized and mentioned that anything affecting membership is under the Bylaws and can't be changed at a BoD meeting.
We got so sidetracked with elections at the General Membership meeting that the dues increase was overlooked.
Dues are $7.50. Cheryl is working on a list of people who have refunds coming. It was suggested that those who had paid $10might be just as interested in contributing $2.50 to the WDA as getting a refund.
Under no circumstances can an anticipated refund be deducted from regular league nightly fees.

Regional Cricket Qualifiers
Regional Cricket Qaulifiers are Oct. 7 for men and ladies at the Legion. Entry fee is $5. Signups at 1. Play starts at 2. I hope I'm right on this. 3 events were discussed with signup times around the same time. You might want to get ot the Legion around 12:30 to be safe.
A second Cricket qualifier for men will be at the Laid Back Oct 14. Doors open at 1:30. Signups start at 1:30. Play begins at 2.
These are excellent events for spectators and chalkers. Some great Cricket matches will be played. There is no better place to watch a great Cricket game than from the scoreboard.

Lizzards vs. Wonders
Last year's #1 team (Danny Scott) has extensive personnel changes. The Wonders beat the Lizzards for 2nd place last season by 1 (one) game. This should have been a great match. It wasn't.
DaleC and JimD were in Telluride for a blues festival. You'd think that would give the advantage to the Wonders. It didn't.
The Lizzards brought in EricC as a sub. Eric had played exactly one game in WDA play. DennisM, subbing as Captain for JimD, graciously allowed EricC to play as a 12.
In a doubles 501, EricC took a 104 out. That was pretty much the writing on the wall. In less than a weekI had outs against me of 93, 110 and 104.
Congrats to the Lizzards for a 10-4 win against a Wonders team that was throwing pretty well and probably raised their ppd averages. There was no denying the Lizzards last Thursday. They were so hot I'm surprised the Laid Back didn't catch on fire.

Joke of the Week
If they really want to make a doggie treat with lots of appeal to your dog, they need to name it, "I Can't Believe It's Not Butt".
Great end-games at the Legion 9-8-06
KennyC threw a 2-dart 93 out against me. (T19 - D18). That's the way to end an '01 game!
Later in the evening that was topped by SylvanS throwing a 2-dart 110-out (T20 - DBull). That was against me too. I think you can tell I didn't win the blind draw.
It gets better. JimmyF drew the numbers for the mystery out. First number he drew was 92. Jimmy turned to Sylvan and said, "I was 1 low on Kenny's - now I'm going to be 1 high on yours". And he did it. Pulled out the 111. We nearly awarded the mystery out pot to Jimmy.

National Youth Playoffs
ShawnaP was an excellent representative of the WDA in Connecticut. The 15 players were randomly divided into 2 pools for preliminary play. Shawna's pool had the better players, so she got to compete against the best players in the nation.
Shawna beat last year's national champion 2-1. Then had matches against this year's winner followed by this year's runner-up. That's a TOUGH lineup to start the competition. After that Shawna won some and lost some.
Not many of us can say we were ever in matches at that level.
Congratulations, Shawna. Top 15 in the Nation. Played basically heads-up against all in her division other than the winner and runner-up. That's like an NFL team losing to the 2 teams in the Super Bowl.
Thank you, Shawna for being the outstanding representative from the WDA we know you were. Thank you for showing that players from Wichita belong in this event and can compete with and win their share of games against the best the nation has to play against.

It's an exciting new season in Wichita dart leagues
So far there doesn't seem to be a dominant team in either Handicap or Open League. I've heard reports that some lopsided matches have occurred, but I haven't been involved in any. Every match and almost every game has been down to the wire.
Final results of the last Handicap session - check this out!
1 - DannyS - 176 wins
2 - Wonders - 173 wins
3 - Lizzards - 172 wins
4/5 - Rat Bastards - 164 wins
4/5 - GuyH - 164 wins
It's great to see all the new players in the leagues this season.

Joke Of The Week
Just before the funeral services, the undertaker came up to the very elderly widow and asked, "How old was your husband?"
"98," she replied. "Two years older than me."
"So you're 96," the undertaker commented.
She responded, "Hardly worth going home is it?"
"98," she replied. "Two years older than me."

Thursday night - Players looking for teams - teams looking for players
Thursday night leagues start in less than 2 weeks. If there are players looking for teams or teams looking for players, leave a comment here and we'll see if we can put people and teams together.
Benefit for DaveA
The benefit for DaveA at the Legion, Sunday, August 13 was memorable on many levels.
There was an outstanding turnout with 40 people in the first blind draw and 26 in the second. The soft-tip community was represented with many who do not normally play steel-tip attending the event. Their participation was greatly appreciated.
Many people opened their pocketbooks to help Dave and Cheryl. The total donations were more than 3 times the total contributed through entry fees. The feeling that swept the room when Cheryl made her round of hugs can only be described as "total pride and love".
Dave is progressing well. Doctors want to keep him in rehab until he's on his feet and walking, which could be any day now.
Last Sunday was a day of nothing but good news.

Teams looking for players - Players looking for teams
If you are a player looking for a team or a team captain looking for players, please post a comment.
I'm looking for one for Monday, but my first offer goes to an old friend who hasn't said "no" yet.
Post your "who's looking" comments. Too late for Monday nights, but maybe we can get an extra team or 2 for Thursday.

Welcome, new and not-so-new darters
MarkR is a new addition to the Monday night leagues. He will be playing out of Eagle's on their Monday night team. Some of you may remember him as the "new guy" with some great ideas and comments at our recent meeting.
Returning to the Wichita darts scene is Bill Greiner and his new "significant other", Sara. Bill had major reconstructive surgery on his spine and his Dr. advised him to "get out, do more things and have some fun". Bill is certainly taking the "have some fun" part seriously. Bill and/or Sara are looking for a Thursday night team. I spent 3+ hours with Bill Friday night and think Bill will be welcomed and appreciated in the WDA.
MarkR and Ian were both in the hunt for the money at the round robin held Friday at the Legion. They didn't realize they were on the same Monday team until after the matches were finished. At the conclusion of the organized Friday night event at the Legion a couple hours of "fun challenges" broke out and MarkR demonstrated he is going to be a popular dart player and a force to be reckoned with on the dart board.

ADO darts in Wichita
Steel-tip darts are alive and well in Wichita. Darting events are held 4 nights a week with many special events and get-togethers to promote darting and have some fun throwing the pointy things at the round thing.
The hot spots for darts in Wichita are:
The Laid Back Club, 911 E. Morris. Just a couple of blocks removed from the "Old Towne" district with outstanding food and prices that work for those on a budget. The Laid Back has 6 boards. League nights on Mondays and Thursdays generally fill 4 of the boards. There may be a spare board or 2 on league nights, but it's more likely you can find a match after league play, which ends around 10 PM.
The Laid Back has a Satuday night blind draw. Signups at 7:30. Blind draw starts at 8. Mystery out pot. Payouts are 3 deep with a burrito for 4th. Some people have been accused of blowing the 3/4 match to get the burrito. It's that good.
Here's a map to find the Laid Back: http://www.mapquest.com/maps/map.adp?formtype=address&addtohistory=&address=911%20E%20Morris%20St&city=Wichita&state=KS&zipcode=67211%2d2414&country=US&geodiff=1
American Legion Post 4 - Murdock and Water. 4 permanent dart boards. Has the facilities to put up 20 boards for special events.
League darts on Mondays and Thursdays tend to fill the available boards. A darter can probably find a match after league play is done.
Blind draws on Friday nights. Signups at 7:30. Blind draw starts at 8. Mystery Out pot. No active kitchen, but "bar food" offerings are topped by an outstanding BBQ Beef sandwich.

Upcoming Events
It's in between seasons. I haven't heard of any blind draws on normal league nights, but it's safe to say that if you go to any WDA sponsor, you can find some darts to be played. Especially if you get on the phone and bring friends with you.
Here's what's coming up in the next month or so. I'm sure there is more, so add a Comment if you know of other stuff happening.
Sunday, August 13 - American Legion - Benefit Blind Draw for Dave and CherylA. $10 entry. 50% payback. Legion will provide burgers and dogs. Bring a covered dish. Signups at Noon. Darts start at 1.
August 14 - Start of the Monday night leagues. Schedules are not out yet. Watch here or at http://www.wdanews.com.
August 17 - Deadline for signing up Thursday Night Teams
August 24 - Start of the Thursday night leagues.
September 1 - 3. The NotSoLizzard Palooza. This is more or less an "invitation only" dart party. If you know how to find it, you're probably invited.

Wichita Darting Association - General Membership Meeting
In an effort to avoid being mistaken for the State of Florida, the chit has hit the fan. Everyone voting in elections is now required to actually be alive and present at the polling place on the day of the elections. Proxy voting has been eliminated.
Another development is that candidates must declare their intent to run for an office at least 2 months before the elections. December 1 is the cutoff date for declaring. Candidates must specify an office and are only allowed to run for one office.
Rules changes are now only allowed at the semi-annual General Membership meetings.
