Official Start Time is Still 7:30 PM

We have gotten questions about the vote to move the official start time to 7:00PM. We didn't get a majority vote (based on the total number of possible votes) so the measure did not pass.

Given the results of the vote we think it is worth another look - at midseason we will have a second vote on this issue for implementation beginning with the fall season.

Note: If both caprains/teams/taverns communicate in advance and agree upon an earlier start time that is acceptable. If this happens please let us know so we can have an idea of how often it takes place.

Sad news

All members of the GVDA community will have been saddened to learn of the death of Dale Culver, particularly coming so soon after John Rathmell's. Both men were great ambassadors for the sport in the Rochester area and will be missed by all those that knew them. Our thoughts are with both families.

Calling hours for Dale will be on Saturday 5th January, 11am-2pm, New Comer Funeral Home, 2636 Ridgeway Ave. A collection for charity as requested will be taken at Sunset Lanes during Winter Season Signup on Tuesday January 8th.

Mobile darts scorer

Having mathematical challenges as a chalker? It's not always easy to keep still, keep score and keep drinking (in order of importance) at the dry erase board. I've been thinking about writing a scorer app for a while but there are several out there already. Here's my favourite mobile-friendly elegant site written by the hugely talented Mike Gieson
