6 men and 4 women will be qualified for the regionals to be played in Wichita in May. The qualifying playoff will be at American Legion Post #4 on April 7.
The Spring Fling is set for April 28 at Legion Post #4. Signups at 2 and the first event kicks off at 3. The "traditional format" will be followed with a seeded blind draw followed by an open blind draw. After that, ladies' and mens' singles events will be held - if there are enough people who want to play those events. If you want the opportunity to play in some open singles events and test your skills against people who may not play in your leagues, this is your chance. The singles events will be totally dependent on the number of people who want the events.
The WDA is looking at ways to send 2 youth players to the Nationals. Some great ideas for sponsorships and some great fund-raising ideas were presented. Blind draws on Fridays at Kelly's will be 80% payback with 20% going to the Youth Fund. The Lizzards and David Garrett's team each pledged $100 to the Youth Fund. There will be 2 blind draws with the May Regional Qualifier. Both will be 80% payback with 20% going to the Youth Fund.
There are efforts being made for 2 media campaigns to promote Youth Darting. These wouldn't cost the WDA anything. I'd rather not comment on them. Free media campaigns are always subject to last-minute decisions by the people at the media outlet. Nothing is guaranteed right now, but there are people working on it and and good results seems likely.
Many significant issues facing the WDA were brought to the Board. Discussions tended to be lively and the focus was constantly on what's best for the Association.
My personal highlight of the evening was the round of applause after I made my report. My report was: "I have nothing". I have never before been appreciated so wholeheartedly for 3 words. It was like that was totally unexpected and had never happened before.

It was lively, jocular and productive as meetings go...Qupi of the Night:"Danny you can be as inept as anyone I know, but the Air Cap warm-up was excellent..."
Laughter again ensues...
We of course appreciate Merlin and his insight and last night he exercised his experience by knowing when to say nothing....To uproarious applause...Nothin' but love for ya, Merlin.

The V.P.'s report was stunning. As I was preparing to order and have delivered a Lazy Boy to listen to a triade..it was over...Shorter than a Mike Tyson (early years..san tats) boxing match.
I would suggest the blog name be changed from Merlin's Ramblings to Merlin's short and to the point..Mmmmm...........naw
Keep doing what you're doing!

I've got some rules changes. Nothing dramatic or likely to be controversial.
I'm saving them for a short meeting. Did everyone hear that? A short meeting.
It's possible to have a short meeting. If the Directors insist on having long meetings, there will be a penalty. I will bring up rules changes at the end of the meeting. I don't have an option.
