Team Dart Veterans Give Advice
Welcome to the Fall season. If you have been playing in your NDA
dart league for more than three weeks, remind your Operator or
Dart League Coordinator that you should be sanctioned for the
2009-2010 year! If you have already received your sanction card and Robert Tolliver
your 2010 sanction pin, remember to visit www.ndadarts.com to
activate your sanction card. You can also update your contact information and sign-up
to receive our new electronic Player Newsletter.
The NDA Staff and Tournament Committee are gearing up for Team Dart’s 25th
Anniversary, April 16-24, 2010 in Las Vegas, Nevada. You can find full details on Team
Dart XXV on pages 11-17. Be sure to check out the new Team Dart Schedule of Events
on page 13, which includes a new event, Open and Masters Mixed Doubles 501. This
event is leveled and requires pre-registration. Plan to arrive on Friday, April 16 so that

Facebook and MySpace. And don’t forget…make your reservation at the Riviera today
as rooms sell out quick!
The NDA is now Tweeting and will be using Twitter as a tool during Team Dart to

2009 Medalist World
Championships
Photos by Randall Green
A tournament field that consisted of over 1,240
daily entries including a strong international contingent, converged on Las Vegas to compete for
$210,000 in prize money over three days at the 2009
Medalist World Championships, August 27-29 at the
Texas Station Gambling Hall & Hotel.
This was the first year that the three-day event
was held at Texas Station after a successful run at
the Riviera Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas. The field
of players was comprised of Medalist League players from throughout the United States, but the
event also had an international flavor with players
from Spain, France, England, Thailand and Japan.
A total of 24 “flights” were offered (eight per day,
split into two daily sessions AM/PM). The tournament kicked off Thursday with ’01 Medley Doubles
competition in four flights (C, B, A, Super A), followed up in the evening session by Cricket Doubles
format in three flights (C, B, A). Also in the evening
session was the Grand Master Pro-Am where players’ names were drawn via lottery two weeks prior
to the event to build four-member teams – three
players of various abilities paired with a Medalist
Grand Master (players rated 13 or above) – to play
in an ’01 Medley best-of-five format.
Friday opened with championship competition
in four Medley Doubles events (AM Session) – the
evening session featuring four ’01 Medley Singles
titles up for grabs. The final day of the tournament
on Saturday featured championships in four
Medley Singles/Doubles flights (a format combining Singles and Doubles games) in the “AM
Session,” followed by four Cricket Medley Doubles
crowns being decided that evening (PM Session).
For teams knocked out of prize money contention, there were additional opportunities to win
cash in 10 “Consolation” flights. All teams missing
out on earning prize money in the “Main” events
were guaranteed a second opportunity in the
World Championship “Consolations” – all “Mains”
were followed with “Consolations.”

A Successful BullShooter Finals
May 21 the Arachnid set-up crew headed to
the Hyatt Regency O'Hare early in the morning
with 198 Galaxy II.5 games and all the trimmings
to run the 24th Anniversary BullShooter Finals.
With over 2,000 entries, the tournament was
deemed a success paying over $125,000 during
the five-day weekend in cash prizes and trophies.
This year the events were played in more divisions, creating more equalized and fair competitions. Thursday the early 4-person team events
saw 400 players filling the tournament room to
compete. Four divisions competed in 501 matches in Men's Pro and Pro AA, Men's B, Women's A
and AA, and Women's B divisions. Then on
Friday, a Top Gun Challenge took place in Cricket
Singles with a single elimination, three out of five
competitions in four divisions followed by a Top
Gun '01 Triples in two divisions. Blind Draws
were also held as time permitted co-sponsored by
Arlington Park, Milwaukee Zoo and Bud Light.
This fall Arachnid will be starting their 25th
Anniversary BullShooter Tour. We are looking
forward to a great season with some new and
exciting changes for the new anniversary tour.

2010 Team Dart XXV Updates
READ CAREFULLY
Tournament Dress Code
All participants in Team Dart XXV are required to compete in appropriate attire and must
comply with the following dress code during all events:
• Team shirts are recommended.
• All players must present a clean and neat appearance.
• All shirts must have sleeves.
• No cut-offs or ragged-edge hems on any shorts.
• Shoes must be worn in the tournament room at all times.
Finals Only - Dress Code
All participants in Team Dart XXV must comply with the following dress code during the
Finals of all events:
• Wear a color and style of team shirt that is matching with sleeves (meaning
exact same style, color and logo except for the player’s name). This includes
the front and back of the shirts.
• Wear pants, capris or shorts that are neat, clean and untorn. No sweatpants
are allowed.
• Not display inappropriate or foul imprinting on team clothing.
• Adhere to all elements of the regular tournament dress code
Headgear that is neat, clean and untorn will be allowed.
IMPORTANT: Violation of the dress code during these events will cause removal of the player
from competition for the remainder of that event.
Age Requirement
All players must be at least 18 years of age to participate in Team Dart XXV. However, in
accordance with the laws of the State of Nevada, only players 21 years of age or older can
receive prize vouchers on site redeemable at the Main Casino Cage. Participants under 21
years of age will be issued an actual check with proper ID. Please notify the NDA Registration
Desk upon picking up your prize money that you are under 21 years old.
Scoring on the Electronic Dart Machine
Any dart that sticks in the board and registers as a dart thrown but does not score will be
corrected. However, a referee must be called to witness the situation and only a referee can
make the necessary correction to the score using the back-up feature.
Onsite Alternate Rule
Onsite alternates can be used by a team as long as the Tournament Committee has approved the
change 2 hours prior to the day’s event. An alternate must be from the same league system and
meet all the player requirements noted in Player/Team Eligibility. Alternate players must be rated
equal to or less than the player they are replacing. It is recommended that possible alternates be
submitted, with their statistics, prior to the tournament by your operator to avoid delays. Onsite
approval for alternates not already participating in the tournament can be requested by a Charter
Holder, with appropriate league statistics, within the time frame noted. For ladies and mixed
events, the alternate player must also be of the same gender. No roster changes are allowed in
finals. Absolutely no one can serve as an alternate on more than one team per event. Any players
on your team roster for that event may be rotated in match-by-match, not between games.
Smoking Policy
There is no smoking in the Tournament Area and absolutely no smoking during a match as
scoresheets should be turned in prior to going to the outside designated smoking areas. There
are no exceptions for not being at your board when it is your turn to play and the Scheduling
Conflicts and Procedures will be strictly enforced. Darts takes precedence over smoking.
Where to Stay…
We know that, for many attendees, finding the lowest possible hotel rate is paramount, and we are aware that often people
choose to stay at other hotels and then
choose to drive or walk to the tournament
each day.
However, before you book your hotel
room for Team Dart XXV, we want to mention
the following ....
The NDA continues to make every effort
to keep costs at a minimum for those
attending the Team Dart.
One way this is done is to make a
commitment to the host hotel for 2010, the
Riviera Hotel & Casino that a specified
number of hotel rooms will be occupied by our
tournament attendees. In exchange for the
hotel room occupation, the property provides
NDA with complimentary tournament space.
There are many benefits of staying at the
Riviera and below are just a few!
• Save cab fare for more important
entertainment!
• Reduce the chance of being forfeited
for missing your 8:00 a.m. start time
• Increase leisure time between matches, go to the pool or to your room!
• Receive an additional entry to Win a
Chance to Play Darts in Europe
• Don’t miss special savings only
available to those stay at the Riviera.
Watch the NDA Web site for details.
Individuals who choose to stay at non-host
hotels receive the benefit of the tournament
facilities, but do not contribute to the necessary
commitments that allow the NDA to use space
on a complimentary basis.
We ask that you consider this when
booking your room.
Book your room at $79 per night at

If one of my team members can’t come to the tournament at the last minute,
can anyone substitute for that player at the tournament?
No, not just anyone. After March 12 all changes and substitutions must be made at the tournament and must meet the following criteria:
• Alternate must be from the same league system.
• Alternate must meet all eligibility requirements with stats on file on-site.
• Alternate’s skill rating must be LESS THAN or EQUAL TO the player they are
replacing.
• In ladies or mixed events, the alternate must be of the same gender.
• NO ALTERNATES PERMITTED IN THE FINALS.
How do I know if I’m a Master-rated player?

Team Dart
Veterans
Give Advice
via Facebook
and MySpace
any players attend Team
Dart year after year and
know exactly what they
need to do to prepare and what to
expect when they show up. We
reached out to those players to
gather advice for those who are
planning to attend or are considering attending Team Dart for the
first time. We asked via MySpace
and Facebook and received feedback from many players.
Carter Heiser from Dickinson,
North Dakota, says “don’t be
intimidated to go. With all the
levels you will be playing other
players at your skill level.” One
thing we cannot stress enough is
that Team Dart is open to all NDA
Sanctioned Players of any skill levels. You do not have to come in first
or second place to participate in
Team Dart. Events are leveled
based on your league statistics;
therefore, you or your team will
play against others of that same
skill level. So regardless of your history in league, you have a chance
to win at Team Dart. Not only will
you win money, but if you come in
first through fourth place in any
event, any level your photograph
will appear in ThrowLines!
Carter also recommends
booking your hotel room early.
The Riviera sells out quickly and
by staying at the Riviera you are
entitled to many exclusive benefits, see page 15 for details. When
making travel reservations plan to
arrive early to participate in the
Special Blind Draw events including Open, Ladies, Seniors, Mixed
and High Rollers on Friday, April
16. Sign-up will be Friday evening
M
on the tournament floor and
events will be randomly drawn to
form a Doubles Team. This is a
great opportunity to meet fellow
darters from around the world!
Many players mentioned attitude. Attitude is key to success and
in making yours and others experience positive. “Have a positive
attitude! Don’t go into it thinking
you are going to get beat just
because you might be playing
somebody good. Remember it’s
not who you play its how you
play!” said Austin Lucas from
Grand Forks, ND. Keep a positive
attitude, respect one another and
above all have fun!
“If you are not having fun,
then you should not do it.
Always remember that anyone
can be beat by anybody at anytime. Also, don’t spend all of
you time playing darts, go out
and enjoy the strip” mentioned
Jim Burkhardt from Valparaiso,
NE. Have fun, enjoy Las Vegas and
be sure to attend the Player
Appreciation Party. This is a great
time to mingle with players, dance
and play casual darts over cocktails and free beer. The Player
Appreciation Party is on
Wednesday, April 21 at 8:00p.m.
and to celebrate our 25th
Anniversary we will be giving
away several door prizes.
We hope that you will join us at
Team Dart XXV as we celebrate
our 25th Anniversary. If you have
questions regarding Team Dart
don’t hesitate to contact the NDA
Office at 800.808.9884. You may
also reach us on Facebook,
MySpace and Twitter! Good Darts!
Are you a Team Dart veteran? What advice
would you give to newbie's to Team Dart?
How can they best prepare for the largest
international soft-tip dart tournament in the
world?
“Keep hydrated - drink water regularly throughout the day.”
— Meradith McGee Hale from Orlando, FL
“Don't be intimidated to go. With all the levels you will be
playing other players at your skill level. Good Shoes. Book your
room early!”
—Carter Heiser from Dickinson, ND
“Control your alcohol intake...especially in the wee hours of the
morning...having to be there at 8am is 10 times tougher with a
huge hangover. Not that I would know or anything....”
—Drew Long from Waterloo, IA
“I would have to say keep your emotions under control and play
as a TEAM, that is how you win, or place. Its a fun event. Can't
stress the playing as a TEAM enough.”
—Wayne Potter from Sioux Falls, SD
“HAVE FUN. If you are not having fun, then you should not do
it. Always remember that "Anyone can be beat by anybody at
anytime." Also, don't spend all your time playing darts, go out
and enjoy the strip.”
- Jim Burkhardt from Valparaiso, NE
“Have a positive Attitude!! Don't go into it thinking you are going
to get beat just because you might be playing somebody good.
Remember it's not WHO you play it's HOW you play!!!!!

In Memory of Jimmy Balk
“A team with a
star player is a
good team, but
a team without
one is a great
team.”
—Unknown
When you mentioned the name Jimmy Balk in the
mid-western area dart tournaments people knew
exactly who you were talking about. Jimmy was well
known in Illinois and Iowa not only as a good dart
player but also a very good friend to so many players;
he participated in many different dart leagues in
both states and attended both Illinois and Iowa’s
state tournaments. Jim and his team took 1st place in
Masters 01 and 2nd in Cricket Masters at the Illinois
Team Pool and Dart Tournament in Decatur Illinois
October of 2008. In February Jim’s team took 3rd
place in the Iowa State Tournament in Waterloo Iowa.
Jim also won multiple city championships in Illinois
while playing in the Blackhawk Music Company dart
leagues. On May 30, 2009 we lost our friend Jim, we
will not forget the memories that he created with all
of us in the dart world. You will be missed!
We will miss your face and that crooked little smile,
You will be in our hearts a very long while.
You were a man of few words, a quiet guy they might
say;
But the player’s always knew you were ready to play.
With your white hat on you would walk in quiet without any sign;
Go directly to the board and start shooting at the line.
I would say “Jimmy, you going to play?” You would
look at me smile, and say,
“If I wasn’t I wouldn’t be here today!”
You had been a partner to so many, some your closest
friends; everyone knew your friendship was never
pretend. You meant the world to so many and we all
ask why? It was too soon to say good-bye.

converged on the new site and it was

fun, camaraderie and friendly competition. This year’s event was once again
flighted using the player’s league stats.
There were five divisions of open 4-person team play as well as two divisions
of women’s 4-person teams. There
were four levels of play in each of the
Men’s Doubles, Women’s Doubles,
Men’s Singles, Women’s Singles, Mixed
Doubles and Mixed Triples as well,
allowing more players a chance to compete and win a piece of the prize
money!
There was the big Friday night
blind draw as well as a new addition to
the event, a Sunday afternoon $1,000
added blind draw which allowed people to meet new friends from other
parts of our great state of Illinois.
Many other prizes were awarded
including trips to Cancun, Bullshooter
XXIV, a big screen TV and lots more!
Lest we forget, the two HarleyDavidson motorcycles given away to
one lucky dart league player as well as
one lucky pool league player! The players love to attend this event because it
is an inexpensive weekend of fun and

friendship where they stay at hotels
within walking distance of the venue
so they can “party like a dart star!” We,
at Hartley Amusements, hope everyone had a wonderful time at this event.
We hope, as well, that you will tell all
your friends and get signed up for our
leagues so you will qualify for LPAW

Marroni Darts finished another
great season. Our Awards presentation was held on May 9, 2009, at the

We had a lot of fun in the
Winter 2009 season. Our NDA 2009
Team Dart results were awesome.
We placed first in five events, second in three events, third in six
events and had 28 top five showings overall. In all, our players
walked away with over $12k in
prize money. As always, we want
to thank the players who make it
all possible. A special thanks to
Al Colley for his work on our website.
