REMINDER of Rules - Feb 5, 2024 - Diane Zepp
1.1.6 Conduct
1.1.6.1 General
As a team captain, you are responsible for the overall conduct of your team and its members. Violence of any sort will not be tolerated. Anyone who initiates any sort of physical contact will be automatically suspended from league play until determined by the Board of Directors. Threat of harm is considered assault and can be dealt with as harshly. Throwing objects, poor sportsmanship, poor conduct, bad language, and intimidating, verbal abuse will not be tolerated and will be dealt with on a case by case basis by the board. Continued violations of these policies could result in probation and/or suspension from the league. Destruction of property will not be tolerated. Any willful destruction of property by a WMDA player towards a bar could result in that player being responsible for repair and/or replacement of any damaged property at the cost of the WMDA player as well as possible probation and/or suspension from the league. If you as a player or captain witness any of these infractions by anyone please notify the board by email, written or verbal complaint so the board can address the situation and take action. Reports shall include: time and date of occurrence, first and last name of persons involved, as well as any other witnesses (optional) and a detailed account of the occurrence. Any person or persons who come forth can receive complete anonymity if they so choose.
1.1.6.2 Disciplinary Meetings
Members involved in any sort of altercation or violation of the conduct guideline 1.1.6.1 will be allowed to present or defend their actions and/or charges at either a special or regular meeting of the board of directors. After hearing all parties associated with the infraction, determination of disciplinary action will be voted upon by the board of directors.
1.1.6.3 Penalties and Enforcement
Any team captain who fails to meet the responsibilities and expectations of a team captain may be prohibited from holding a team captaincy at the sole discretion of the Board of Directors. Examples of captains’ irresponsibility include, but are not limited to:

This Saturday is the big day for MD State Dart League Championship at Triple Nines in Elkridge, MD.
Your WMDA team consists of the following players this year:
Mark Daly, Chris Axline, Joe Lewis, Matt Whitmer, Justin Greenwood, Lisa Massengill, Anita Lyons and Diane Zepp with Ronda Daly as our non-shooting captain.
If you are attending, please remember that the outdoor market will be happening in the parking lot of Triple Nines in the morning. You may need to park in the back or even at the church next door as parking gets really crazy. Just a heads up!
Everyone shoot well and bring the trophy back for a 2nd year in a row!
Picture of WMDA 1st Place WINNING Team with the trophy from 2023 can be seen on our Facebook page. This trophy is currently on display in the Orioles Nest Dart Room.
LET US GO FOR A REPEAT WIN and keep the trophy where it is now.

2.1.6 Playoff Eligibility To be eligible for the playoffs all seasons a player must shoot 50% of the minimum games available per player in the season. Minimum games per player per season is computed using the following formula and reported on the standings page of the WMDA website.
FORMULA: Minimum number of games available on the scoresheet divided by 8 players, times the # of weeks in the season Minimum games to be eligible (and season/division specific calculations) will be published with documentation at the Captain’s Meeting prior to each season.
The following terms are defined for clarity:
Match: The entirety of the night’s play; the total number of games played.
Game: One of up to three elements of a match for which up to 3 points are assigned.
Leg: A segment of each game played for which one point is assigned.
Turn: 3 darts thrown (if all are needed and/or count), darts scored, retrieved and player crosses back over the ochre (toe line).
2.4.5 Tied Match – Playoff Only In the event that a playoff match is tied at the completion of the standard format, a minimum of 4 team members will shoot a 1001 game straight in and double out. All players will shoot in order and take turns score keeping unless someone is available to keep score.
2.4.6 1001 – Shorthanded In the unlikely event that a 1001 game must be played AND a team has LESS than 4 people available to shoot (someone leaves early), that team will shoot short-handed and receive no score for those players who are short of the minimum of four (4) shooters.
If you have any questions, please contact me asap.
