10/31/2004 - Don't forget to nominate folks to run in our upcoming elections!!!  Additional note, any changes to the Rules & Regs and Bylaws that the Board approves over the course of the season may be found in the online version, in blue text.  Current example, we have tracked down and added the diagonal measurement for the dartboard, and online you will find a link to a pdf file with a very good diagram of how to apply all the measurements.  The diagonal measurement should be used in all cases where you have a sloping floor, to produce a more accurate setup.    

10/19/2004 - If you connect to the internet without current antivirus software and a firewall, you are opening your computer up to all the evils of the universe!  Some helpful hints for those who need to be enlightened are on this page:  Safe Computing

9/10/2004 - Announcing a BENEFIT DART SHOOT - Maine Dart Association shooter Mark Tetrault passed away unexpectedly September 5th, and area shooters are getting together to raise some $$ to help out his wife of nearly 25 years, Millee.  Please join us at The Station, Union Station Plaza in Portland (behind Burger King), on Friday September 17th at 7pm for a $10 draw doubles shootout.  We have an amazing assortment of things to raffle off, so carpool and bring all your friends.  Downloads:  Shootout Flyer  Raffle items  Raffle tickets for the gas grill are available now, and you do not have to be present to win.  See flyer for contact info.

9/8/2004 - The C Division team that was originally listed as playing out of the YCVA will be playing out of Sportside Pub (aka Pics Pizza) instead. 

9/4/2004 - Attention C Division!  The YCVA has decided not to sponsor a team.  The former "YCVA Shooters" are in the process of securing a new sponsor.  A board member will notify captains as soon as there is news, and the information on the website will be updated.

B Division, don't forget you are starting Week 2 - be sure your match report has the right week number!

8/31/2004 - C Division schedules have been re-calculated for 6 teams and handed out to captains or left at your pub for you.  A Division teams have changed - substitute Referees JoJo's Gang any place you see 50's Pub Breakfast Club until you receive your updated schedules.  B Division teams have changed - substitute Champions What Man? any place you see Referees JoJo's Gang  until you receive your new schedules.  Lists of captain/co-captain phone numbers will be updated right on the schedule for A and B.

C Division starts 8/31, A starts 9/1, and B starts 9/8

8/29/2004 - Any teams who did not send a representative to today's meeting should call Vickey Brown to arrange to get their team packets.  Captains are responsible for reading the materials in the packet and sharing that knowledge with their players.  Every captain and co-captain should read through the rules & regulations and the bylaws every season, and we recommend all players read at least the rules & regs for themselves.  As was mentioned at the meeting, everyone should read the weekly newsletter (also known as the standings sheet) regularly.  If you get your standings online, be sure to check this announcements column for the latest news and information - we really hate to take points away when people miss announcements about mandatory meetings and such!   

8/24/2004 - Notes from yesterday's board meeting:  Congratulations to Justin Poulin on stepping forward to be our new Tournament Director.  The board has been dividing up the duties of this position for some time now, and it will be a welcome change to have someone in that position.  Our recently elected Secretary Vickey Brown was appointed as the new Treasurer, and since she cannot hold two voting positions, we need to announce the need for a new Secretary.  Again, YOUR opportunity to represent your fellow dart shooters and help decide how the league is run... 

This fall's pre-season MANDATORY Captains' Meeting will be held at Champions in Biddeford at noon Sunday August 29th.  They open at noon, so roll call and the official start of the meeting will be at 12:15.  All are welcome, but each team *MUST* have at least *ONE* representative there to pick up the team packet (rules, schedules, match report sheets) and be prepared to pass along whatever league information is presented to the rest of their teammates.  Failure to be present for opening or closing roll call will result in your team losing points before the season even starts!!!

FYI, just a reminder that the Seeding Meeting (which is not mandatory) will be Wednesday the 25th, 6pm at Referees in OOB.  Referees invites you to stay for a draw doubles shootout afterwards to hone your skills for the upcoming season...

It is with great sadness that dartsinmaine announces that our friend and fellow dart shooter Tom McKeen passed away on Friday August 20th, 2004, after a long battle with cancer.  

Here is a link to Tom's obituary, as well as some pictures and details on arrangements:

8/5/2004 - The next Board meeting will be 7pm Monday August 23rd, 7pm at the 50's Pub in Biddeford.  The first 15 minutes of this meeting will be open to the general membership.  We are in need of a Tournament Director and a Treasurer.  As our current Secretary is interested in that position, we would need a new Secretary if the board appoints her as Treasurer, so if you are interested in any of these three positions, please show up at the start of this board meeting to be interviewed.  This is YOUR opportunity to represent your fellow dart shooters and help decide how the league is run.

7/26/2004 - The League would like to thank Gail Bombaro for her many years of service, and announce that we are in need of a Treasurer.  Please see the most recent copy of the By-Laws if you have questions about the job description.
