Winter Captains Meeting + New board
After captains votes here is our new executive board:
President - Alex Z
VP - Kevin Sanchez
Treasurer - Kyle Bradley
Secretary - Steve Clark
Webmaster - Tom Gaydos
A captain brought up an issue with a fellow captain changing the roster after it was already set. This is not allowed. The offending captain was addressed by board members. If this happens going forward the captain observing this behavior sees fit they can call a forfeit.
A rule change regarding how the score sheets are completed. It was discussed that the home team fills out their sheet first, then hands the sheet face up to the visting captain. This was voted down, the rule stays the same.
Another rule change was pitched to have a second, different sheet for playoffs. This was voted in and will be the new rule. All players must be qualified to play in the playoffs, as always.
A rule change was proposed for when a team plays short 1-2 players on changing where the vacant space(s) are placed on the lineup. This is passed and the captain may leave space(s) empty wherever they would like.
A vote was called to start regular season matches at 730pm and it was voted down.
A reminder was mentioned regarding the winter schedule being voted in as 2 times through, then playoffs, at a previous captains meeting.
A topic was discussed regarding postponing and forfeiting matches schedule. Kevin pitched a built in bye week to facilitate matches which need to be made up. This was voted through and will be before the last 4 weeks of the regular season as a firm line that after this week no matches may be postponed or rescheduled per the existing rule.
Finally, our secretary has started a new email address for all future email confirmations. Please save the contact as [email protected] and check your spam folders.

First round playoff matches are set!
Reminders for Playoffs:
Please follow the guidelines set forth in the rule book.
All 3 divisions had 8 or less teams included, so only the top 4 teams make the playoffs.
Only a player who has met the minimum number of matches and has paid dues will qualify for the playoffs. Matches are counted automatically via YLS now, only a player with "Q" next to their name qualifies to compete in playoff matches. If a number appears that means they did not play enough weeks to qualify and that player is not eligible to play in a playoff match.
***PLAYOFF MATCHES START AT 730PM*** We get this question every year, therefore I wanted to highlight it.
April 11 - ABC semi-finals
April 18 - B Final & C Final, A bye week
April 25 - A Final, B vs. C match
May 2 - King ot the Hill, A vs. BvC winner

It has been brought to the board's attention that the most recent group of trophies & plaques issued at the summer picnic had some problems.
If you have a trophy or a plaque with your name or your team name spelled wrong, or are missing a plaque for an award earned during the REGULAR SEASON only of the winter session please use the contact function on the website and alert us. Any plaque-eligible award earned during the playoffs (T80 or 9 hit) did NOT have a plaque issued yet as the order submitted was ONLY for the regular season awards, those plaques are already on a list to be submitted with the summer 2023 session regular season awards. This is due to the close proximity of the end of the summer session to the picnic this year and the required turnaround time by the plaque/trophy maker.
Thank you for your patience and understanding.

Winter captain's meeting notes
Thank you to those who attended the winter captain's meeting on Thursday September 22.
The only rule changes voted in were:
1. to reduce the maximum roster size for winter teams to 11 players. A player is defined as a new, unique person's name on the scoresheet even if they only appear once in an entire season.
2. Our league treasurer will be reporting to the board any unpaid team sponsorship or player's dues which will result in point deductions from the offending teams. Please communicate any payment-related issues to our treasurer Jacque directly as he will maintain this database. It is the team captain's responsibility to deliver any unpaid dues to the treasurer, he will not pick them up.

Congrats to Randalls Deplorabull Reapers, summer King of the Hill winners.
We are returning to the 2-2-2 format for games, this goes for all 3 divisions.
Teams are to transition from 301 to cricket or cricket to 501 even if the last game is going as soon as a board becomes available. It is the next person/team on the roster, even if it means changing left/right board. This should not interrupt the game ongoing, including switching out scorekeeper.
There is no rule against having your beer at the throw line.
If a scoring app or tablet is being used it cannot show the specific darts needed to accomplish an out during a match. This is a setting in the scoring app that the provider of the tablet is responsible for having off before that device is used during a match.
A vote was called to add 5 hit in cricket as an all star, it was not passed.
If there are complaints about the condition of a board or if the measurements from the line to the board about a particular location contact Vice President Kevin Sanchez to start the review process.
The correct measurements for the playing area are:
The Dartboard Height – Center of Bull to the Ground Setup the dartboard height to measure 5 Feet 8 Inches(173 cm) from the center of the dartboard (the center of the bull) to the ground. The height can also be measured as 68 inches or 1.73 meters.
The Dartboard Distance – Ground to the Oche Setup the dartboard throwing distance to measure 7 Feet 9 and a quarter inch(237 cm) from the FRONT of the dartboard to the FRONT of the OCHE(Throwing Line). The throwing distance can also be measures as 93.25 inches or 2.37 meters.
The Dartboard Distance – Center of Bull to the Oche After your dartboard has completely been setup, it is a good idea to measure the distance from the center of the bull to the oche(toe line / throwing line) to make 100% sure all measurements are correct. If this distance shows to be 9 Feet 7 and a half inch(293 cm) then you know your dartboard was setup correctly. The distance from the center of the bull to the throwing line can also be measured as 115.35 Inches or 2.93 meter

A message from league vice president Kevin Sanchez:
MSDL Players:
Due to Coronavirus and the state order to shut down bars/restaurants until the end of April, we will be cancelling the remainder of the 2019-2020 Winter season. The timing (and length) of this pandemic has left us no choice but to end the season short. Despite this, we will be making plaques for players that had 180s, 9-hits, and High-In/Outs. Additionally, we will still be having our seasonal picnic for this winter season. As for the Summer season, we are intending to start on schedule. If you are interested in summer darts, be sure to keep an eye on your email for updates pertaining to sign-ups.
Lastly, the Board would like to thank you all for your understanding of this decision. If there was a way to safely keep playing darts together we would but we have no control over this situation. The best we can hope for is a timely return for summer league and currently that is our goal. Please stay safe and healthy, hope to see you this Summer!

9. An automatic one up/one down move between divisions will be implemented based on the previous session's record unless a team is fundamentally changed or it would cause a major schedule conflict, to be resolved at the discretion of the board.

Important rule changes & notes 5.23.19
Here are some important notes and rule changes documented during the Captain's Meeting on 5.23.19.
1. For all divisions going forward - We will no longer have a coin toss to decide which player/team will throw first at bull. The home team will be given the option to either throw bull first or defer to the away team. The away team may not defer back.
2. For the summer highest division only (as a test run to be re-visited at the fall captain's meeting) - we are implementing a 2-2-2 game format for a match total of 36 points (12 + 12 + 12). There will be 6x head to head single 301 matches, each match will be 2 legs and each leg is worth 1 point (total of 12 points). There will be 3x 2 vs 2 cricket matches, each match will be 2 legs and each leg is worth 2 points (total of 12 total points). There will be 3x 2 vs 2 501 matches, each match will be 2 legs and each leg is worth 2 points (total of 12 total points).
3. For all divisions going forward - In addition to the existing expedited 301 rules from the previous addendum the third cricket match and the third 501 match will start immediately on whichever board's match finishes first. If the scorekeeper on the other board is required to play in the third match one of the players not playing should step in and take over at a convenient point which does not interrupt the match in progress. Each round of matches is to stay contained (i.e. you may not begin a cricket match while 301 matches are in progress, etc.).
4. King of the Hill will always be played to the upper division rules/format.
5. If the quality/condition of a dart board (including wires), the lighting in the dart area or the measurements of the board height/angle/distance to the throw line are called into question the match should be played as usual but photos of the issue(s) observed should be sent via email to the league board that night with a request for the league to review. A member or members of the board will go to the bar to investigate the complaint thoroughly including, if needed, a meeting with the bar owner to discuss the issue(s). Actions to remedy issues determined to be worthy of follow up will be discussed among the board and if a bar owner is not compliant it will be brought up at a meeting for response by the league up to and including removal of that bar from consideration as a host bar for league matches.
6. Randall's has a team which chooses to use additional lighting devices around the boards as a method of improving visibilty for the players. There is no rule against this usage and a vote was called to implement one which was voted down meaning they may still be used. This may be re-addressed at a future date if needed.
7. Randall's has a team which also chooses to bring electronic scoring devices (tablet PCs with an app capable of scoring match play) to assist in scoring calculation to expedite the process as well as remove the possibility of small/poor handwriting on a scoreboard leading to a delay during the match. These devices are permitted and they have the right for their team representative to use them during the match. The opposing team has the option to also use a tablet PC (when available) or the traditional handwritten method at their discretion, the opposing team's scorekeeper has no obligation to use the tablet if they do not understand/feel comfortable with the device. The team may use these tablets as either the home or away team so long as they are displayed in a manner that is clearly visible to the players at the line. If any other team would like to begin bringing a similar tablet PC with scoring app as a means of expediting the scoring process they are welcome to do so but the league will not be providing or recommending either the equipment or software used. All match results (win/loss points) and all stars should still be documented as usual on the paper score sheets.
8. The topic of all players being mindful of starting the match on time and where your matches are taking place on the roster during the night to make yourself available immediately when your turn comes up was discussed heavily. The only way additional matches will be added permanently and expanded to other division will be if the duration of the match does not continually increase. Limiting the number of practice throws and implementing a time-frame from when a match is called to start until a player is obligated to be at the throw line prepared to begin under penalty of forfeit were discussed but not called for an official vote, to be re-visited at the next meeting.
9. Please read, follow and report offenders of the 10 commandments for score-keeping to your captain to report to the board as soon as possible. This includes variances in behavior between teams. Do not be confrontational with the person directly during the match, it should be addressed between captains and if the offending party is the captain the opposing captain should report it directly to the board. Please keep safety in mind at all times, practice good sportsmanship and be conscientious of your fellow players.

As the playoff structure exceeds the standard number of games played it is quite problematic to enter individual results, I would need to take down the existing season and create a custom season to accommodate the possibility of 2 full rounds of games played.

MSDL Yearly Captain's Meeting Minutes
Hello all,
Below are a summary of the minutes from the MSDL Yearly Captain's Meeting Minutes from September 3rd, 2015 at Baker's:
- President Scott DeCesare called the meeting to order.
- President Scott DeCesare called for volunteers or nominations for any league official position, none were given. All league officials remain in their previous postions.
- President Scott DeCesare called for any new business to be brought to the attention of the meeting.
- Bill from Elm Cafe brought up an issue not addressed clearly in the current rules regarding if a home bar is unable to host a match due to construction, unexpected closure, etc. After discussion, the following provision was voted into the rules by a majority in attendance:
1. If a home team becomes aware before the day of the match of their bar's inability to host, they have until 6pm on the day of the match to source a new home venue (must be another league bar). If they become aware the day of the match, it falls under the 15 minute grace period rule to start a match, meaning 8:15pm to announce the new venue.
2. If a new home bar cannot be sourced by the home captain, the match will take place at the visiting bar provided that bar is capable of hosting (not already booked with enough league matches that it is at max capacity or has a conflicting event). If this change to the visiting bar occurs in the first half of the season, the executive board may, at it's discretion, call for a switch in the home/away schedule between the two teams to "make up" the match for the original home bar.
3. If neither option above is possible, the match must be rescheduled prior to the following Thursday to not disrupt the balance of the league schedule. Any further issues with rescheduling should be brought to the attention of the executive board for resolution.
- Brandon from Casey's suggested a 6 team playoff system, with a bye for the top 2 seeds and a 6@3/5@4 "wild card" round to determine the final 4 teams. This was voted down by the majority in attendance.
- A side topic from the above was discussed regarding playoff roster eligibility of players, no vote was called as it was agreed the current provisions are appropriate in this regard.
- President Scott DeCesare called for a discussion of the previous year's system of a text/e-mail copy of the white sheet to the secretary for faster processing to both the results email and publishing to the website. Webmaster Tom Gaydos spoke on the importance to the future of the league in incorporation of this technology to eliminate future dues increases and perhaps reduction of dues by eliminating the expense of either the voicemail or PO box. A majority vote determined a new rule that someone from the home team is responsible for sending a clear image of the white sheet to Webmaster Tom Gaydos at either [email protected] or 203-980-9299 by 6pm the day after the match takes place (most weeks Friday @ 6pm) or the home team will receive a 1 (one) point deduction. The visiting team may also submit an image for verification/to assist the home team. Each sheet submitted will received a return confirmation message from Webmaster Tom Gaydos and all sheets will in turn be sent to secretary Quentin Smith. If sending via email, it is recommended to send to both Tom and Quentin ([email protected]) for processing.
- A rules committee was formed to address any further issues for consultation with the executive board on an ongoing basis and to allow for new business to be brought to future meetings by those unable to attend said meetings. Members of the rules committee are: Jessica Zamachaj, Danielle Borque, Joe Doria & Sean Rice. Jess may be contacted at [email protected] for official rules business.
- Meeting was adjourned after no further new business was addressed.
Thank you,
Tom Gaydos

Hello all,
After a vote by the executive board, we have decided NOT to formally cancel this evening. I suggest all home captains contact their home bars to verify they will be operational.
We are, however, aware this may not be ideal for all teams. As such, you may elect to postpone your match but it must be made up by no later than 1 week from today, March 12th. If you are going to wait until the 12th, we require a digital copy of the white sheet be sent as a photo attachment to an email or sent via text to me directly THAT NIGHT. This is so there is sufficient time to process all the sheets and declare the position week seeding with an appropriate amount of time. Please also call in your scores as normal after the match takes place. I will follow up with everyone once all needed info is received and calculated, as always the website will have the most up to date information.
Shoot well and be safe.

I have recently been given some tragic news. Bob Amuro of Elm Cafe a
long time dart player, has passed away last night. I have no details of
how or where, but on behalf of the entire league and other leagues he
had played for, we offer our sincerest condolences to his friends and
family. This is a truly unfortunate event as I myself ( as well as most
of you ) have played along side of Bob for many of years. He will truly
be missed. As we find out more we will keep you informed.
Update - A wake has been scheduled at the West Haven Funeral Home (662 Savin Ave) on Monday, December 1st from 4-7pm.
