Southern Westchester Dart League

A big “Thank You” to all 28 teams & 200+ players that signed up for the Spring/Summer 2024 season! We’re kicking off the regular season on Tuesday, March 12th.

The regular season schedule is now posted via our DartConnect League Menu. We highly encourage everyone to sign-up for DartConnect user accounts (either free Guest accounts or paid Premium accounts) at DartConnect.com. They've rolled out some new features that allow us to integrate the weekly schedule into the scoring app and import the schedule to cell phone calendars, among other enhancements.

Team signups for the Spring/Summer 2024 season are closed.

If you are interested in playing, please contact us. We can put you in touch with teams looking for additional players.

League Schedule

We use DartConnect to score league matches and track stats.

All captains should have received a welcome email from DartConnect to access the members website and the DartConnect application. If not, please let me know ASAP so I can have DartConnect resend the welcome email. Please sign in sometime before the first match of the season to make sure you have access. Once you're signed in, please verify the accuracy of your rosters (names and email addresses) and let us know ASAP of any changes need to be made. As a reminder, any roster changes will only flow through to the DartConnect application when the tablet is connected to wi-fi and can access the Internet.

As a reminder, all scoring must be done within the DartConnect application. There is no need to use any other device (e.g. DartMaster III, whiteboard, chalkboard, etc). Any individual player stats not captured by DartConnect will not count (e.g. wins-losses, averages, high all-stars, etc).

Here are a couple helpful hints regarding the tablets and DartConnect application:

• Be sure to have the tablets connected to wi-fi whenever possible so that the match will broadcast live at tv.dartconnect.com and the final results will automatically transmit to the server after the end of the match. An automated email from DartConnect with the match report is your confirmation that the transmission was successful.
• The league recommends having the power cable plugged into the tablets during matches to avoid "dead tablets" mid-match as the battery life on the league-issued tablets is limited.

Spring/Summer 2024 Season

The format for the weekly matches varies by division:

Division 1

24 legs per match

• 4 sets of singles (3 legs each: 501 SIDO, Cricket, choice)
• 2 sets of doubles Cricket (3 legs each)
• 2 sets of doubles 501 SIDO (3 legs each)

Divisions 2 & 3

20 legs per match

• 4 sets of singles (2 legs each: 501 SIDO, Cricket)
• 2 sets of doubles Cricket (3 legs each)
• 2 sets of doubles 501 SIDO (3 legs each)

Division 4

16 legs per match

• 4 sets of singles (2 legs each: 501 SIDO, Cricket)
• 2 sets of doubles Cricket (2 legs each)
• 2 sets of doubles 501 SIDO (2 legs each)

All matches are to begin promptly by 7:30pm. Plan to arrive at least 15 minutes in advance to set your singles lineups and warm-up for the 1st set.

Lineups are to be set prior to each section (singles, doubles cricket, and doubles 501). Because DartConnect does not yet have the ability to set lineups in advance, please use scrap paper to write down your lineups. Teams may elect to bypass this and choose their players "on the fly" after each set, but only if both teams agree to do so prior to the beginning of the match.

The top 4 teams in each division will move on to the playoffs, seeded by the final standings at the end of the regular season.

Tiebreaker Format

Should a playoff match result in a tie (e.g. 24-24, 20-20, or 16-16), the following tiebreaker format will be used to decide the winner: One (1) leg of quads 1001 SIDO (straight-in, double-out). Each team will select four (4) players to play the leg. The player order for each team must be decided prior to the start of the leg. A bull shot will determine which team goes first. A coin toss called by the away team will determine which team has the choice for shooting at bull first or second. Standard bull shot rules apply (see Rules Book).
