MATCH DETAILS

  • The order in which games are played is predetermined by the system on the tablets and must be completed in exact order.
  • Like games should be played simultaneously on each board to keep pace of play optimal.
  • NO DOUBLING DOWN

    Players may not “double down” on games. Example: if Player 1 plays in the first singles cricket game, they may not partake in the second singles cricket game.

    4 games of scored singles cricket, 4 games of singles FIDO 401, 2 games of scored doubles cricket, 2 games of doubles FIDO 401, and a team game of FIDO 801.

  • START TIME

    Matches start at 7 PM. If players are missing at start, you may still start the match. Games must still be played in the correct order. If a missing player is needed when their presence is required, that team forfeits the game to the team with the required players present.

03

BULL-OFF & THROW ORDER

  • THROWING FOR BULL

    Each game begins by throwing for bull. The away team throws first dart. Closest dart to the bullseye is awarded first turn in the game.

  • If both players hit alike colors within the bullseye, darts will be thrown again.
04

PLAYOFF QUALIFICATION

  • TEAM PLAYOFFS

    All players participating in playoffs must qualify by playing in 10 or more matches throughout the season. This is to prevent any ringers.
