Friday Night - Singles League with 8 players - 100% payback for a 7-week session. Starts October 19. $35 entry fee for the entire session. Scratch league. Start time 7 PM.
Saturday Night - Singles League with 8 players - at least 50% payback for a 7-week session. Starts October 27. $35 entry fee for the entire session. Handicap league. Start time 7:30.
Both leagues are a "tournament" format using brackets. 1st through 8th are played out. Instead of randomly determining first-round opponents, a chart is used to make sure every person in the league has a first round match against every other person in the league. All matches are 2 out of 3.
501 and Cricket are played on alternating weeks. The league starts and ends on 501. There are 4 weeks where all matches are 501 and 3 weeks where all matches are Cricket.
I expect the Friday league will be able to play a doubles bracket in addition to singles. In doubles, your first-round opponent in singles becomes your doubles partner that night. The handicap format starts at higher points and the matches take too long to include doubles.
Everyone plays 2 out of 3 against 3 different opponents each night. The open league plays 2 out of 3 against 2 different doubles opponents each night.
Payouts are 50% for 1st, 30% for 2nd, and 20% for 3rd. Placings are based on points earned each night. In singles, it's 8 points for 1st, 7 for 2nd, etc. In doubles, it's 4 points (each) for 1st, 3 points (each) for 2nd, etc. The 3 people who get the most points during the league get the money at the end of the league.
This is your chance to get used to a 2 out of 3 format in plenty of time for the Air Cap. The league is set up so that every night is a mini-tournament.
For serious players, every round you win means you're against another winner in the next round. It provides a decent simulation of the pressures that can happen in a larger tournament.
For more casual players, it's a lot of darts, experience, fun and practice for the $5 nightly entry fee.

For those of you curious about this league, it is alot of fun. 8 people hanging out, BS'ing, and talking trash on each other. Unfortunately due to possible work schedule, I wont be able to return for another season, but hopefully we can fill both the Friday and Saturday night leagues. - Richard Cranford
