The Outlaws failed to show, again. But our area rep Donald did and so we win the first round of the playoffs.

Rich is talking with the captain of Rainmakers to determine when and where we play next.

We have yet to play the Outlaws in our second match. The league has rescheduled the game for Tuesday the 20th. That is also the date for the first game of the second round which is against the Rainmakers.

This has yet to be resolved by the league.

We won 6-5 last night.

We play Thursday night and need 6 more points to advance.

Rainmakers (1st E1, 107pts) vs Prime Darts (4th E2, 79pts)

The Playoffs

Schedule available here (PDF)

Luckily we are in E so if we advance to the finals we get a week off.

FIRST ROUND:
First match is Tuesday December 13th with the 2nd game on December 15th.

The first team to 12 points wins the playoff. We play a regular 11 point game on Tuesday (2 601s, 3 Crickets and 6 301s) and the first to get to 12 points on Thursday advances to the 2nd round. (So if we win 7-4 on Tuesday we need to get 5 points on Thursday) If we are tied 11-11 at the end of Thursday (which has happened to us) then we play 1 601, 1 Cricket and 1 301. Which ever team wins 2 out of the 3 advances.

The team with the higher point total decides who plays at Home first.

Right now we are most likely playing the 2nd Place team in E1, The Outlaws (74 points) who play out of Fitz located at 142 Pleasant Street in Malden.

Whether we play them or not, every team in E1 is from Malden.

SECOND ROUND:
Tuesday December 20th and Thursday December 22nd.

Same rules.

FINALS:
The Finals will be held at a neutral bar TBA and will take place on Saturday January 7th.

Please let Rich know now if you are not available for any of those nights.
