7/10/2003 - Now you can add yourself to the SRDL Mailing List!
The mailing list is not a substitute for reading the announcements that
appear in your newsletter. Rather, it is used to notify and remind
you of deadlines, board vacancies, league functions, and other darting
news of local interest. Sign up on the Contact
page. Every message you receive will include instructions for removing yourself from the mailing list if you no longer wish to participate. Do this carefully, as you will never be able to subscribe using that same address again (we don't control this process, it comes that way...). |

5/6/2003 - BOARD VACANCIES: 1. President Dan McKeown announces his resignation, effective after the finals on 5/17. We thank Dan for his year and a half of service and are sorry to see him go. If anyone is interested in applying for this job, please write to srdl@dartsinmaine.com or call a board member to express your interest. Candidates should show up at the beginning of the June 16th board meeting (location to be announced later this month) to interview for the position. 2. The position of League Secretary is still open, since nobody ran in the December election. This is a voting position and would give you a voice on the board, representing your fellow shooters. Your main duty would be taking notes at the monthly board meeting. See the by-laws for a full description of this position. |
|
5/5/2003 - PLAYOFFS/FINALS/BANQUET/SHOOTOUT INFO: A list of players who are not eligible for the playoffs will be posted on the Newsletter page of the website, as soon as all match reports arrive and get entered. The Finals will be Saturday, May 17th, 2pm at the Biddeford Eagles. When all divisions are done, the Banquet food will be served, and the trophies and plaques for the season will be awarded. Following this, there will be a FREE draw doubles shootout for
current League Members ONLY. You are considered a current league
member if you played in either Spring 2003 or Fall 2002. The format
will be upper division players paired with lower division players, which
was quite a success last year. The League is prepared to give out
$1800 in prize money, so everyone should consider participating! |
|
4/11/2003 - As many of you know, there is going to be a shootout at
Referees on Sunday April 27th to benefit Tom McKeen in his fight against
cancer. This is not a league-sponsored event, but Tom is a board
member and has played in the league for many years, so the Board would
like to extend its support and encouragement for this event.
|
| 4/3/2003 - Please note the high number of "not yet received" match reports is due to very few being dropped off last night as requested. Stats will be fully updated next week! |
| Wednesday night Captains: If at all possible, please drop your match reports for week 10 (4/2/03) off to Laurie at Referee's so we can get the newsletter out before leaving for the White Mountain Shoot on Friday. Thanks in advance! |
| 3/15/2003 - Just added to the Standings page - Weeks Played report. In order to qualify to play in the playoffs/finals, a player must have played 1/3 of the season. For divisions BB, B, and C, this is 5 weeks, and for A due to the bye, it's 4 weeks. This report will be updated weekly throughout the rest of the season. |
|
3/15/2003 - While the SRDL does not recognize every possible notable
throw in terms of giving out plaques, we are happy to announce them on the
newsletter the week they occur, if captains will take the time to note
them on the back of the match report sheet.
A perfect game in 301 would be done in 6 darts (all of which must count!), or 9 darts in 501. However, a 10-dart 301 or a 12-dart 501 does not happen every day, and both are certainly worthy of congratulations. |
| 2/15/2003 - Attention captains and other interested league members. The finalized rosters are now posted. You should be able to print out a list of your division's players for your team packet, but if you have any problems, just contact srdl@dartsinmaine.com and we'll get one to you asap. Other than hardship additions (see Rules & Regs Article 2, Section 5, Part B), this is the final list. Announcements will be made here on the website if any players are added/dropped under that rule. |
| 2/7/2003 - Reminder that the benefit bean supper for Mike Lamb is this weekend. Click here for details. |
| 2/3/2003 - REMINDERS - For the first three weeks, players whose dues are not yet paid must pay the first night they play. All outstanding dues are payable with the match reports of week 3 or the unpaid players will be dropped! Captains, please remember, you cannot add a player by simply putting the info on the back of your match report sheet. Div BB, B, and C - you need to call your Area Director and get approvals; Div A - you need to notify your Area Director. |
| 1/27/2003 - If you need more teammates or are looking to join a team, check out the online Bulletin Board... Captains, please contact your Area Director asap to start the approval process if you have someone you need to add. By request, a sample of how to fill out a match report sheet has been posted on the website. Also by request, we have a blank match report for you, which you might find convenient to print out to write your lineup on when you're the visiting team. |

|
8/28/2002 - one
more clarification
Concerning the
discrepancy between ByLaws Article 3, Sections 1 and 5: one says
players must be paid by week 3, the other says they must be paid when you
submit your roster. Here is the clarification: whenever
possible, player dues should be submitted with the roster. If you
can't get ahold of certain players until the season actually starts, you
may include their money in with your match report sheet the same week that
player plays. However, week 3 is the cutoff for doing this.
Any players who are still unpaid after week 3 will be dropped from your
roster and you will not be able to use them in future matches. If
you still have questions, please call your area director - we don't want
you to lose points! |
|
8/27/2002 - Notes
from Sunday's Captains' Meeting... Captains asked for Board
clarification on the following:
+ Rules & Regs Article 5, Section 6. All scoring in the 01 games must show the score for each turn as well as the score remaining. The previous score and the score for the last turn must be crossed out so that only the current score is showing. The question was, do all scores need to remain on the board at all times? The answer was NO. If you run out of room and need to erase the top part of the board, leave the previous score, the score for the last turn (both crossed out), and the current score. + What to do when your team plays short? If the player was written down before you knew you were playing short, cross out the name (neatly, one line) and write absent next to them so we know not to enter any stats for them. Leaving the position blank is also an option, if you know ahead of time that you are going to be short. Other: Fall elections are coming up soon. Click here for more info. |
