Have a great day!
We're happy to report that NODA had a good turn out for our seasonal Captains’ Meeting. We would like to thank all the Captains and team representatives that attended the meeting. This meeting is intended for the teams or members to make suggestions that would improve our league. We accomplished some rule changes that are intended to speed up the pace of the night, so that those members who have to get up real early can finish sooner.
Beginning immediately:
We are eliminating the old Rule 10-D. This is the rule that allows no more than 4
consecutive games by any player. It is now possible to schedule a player
to play in more than 4 consecutive games.
We are adding the following 2 Rules:
Rule 10-G
At both Captain's discretion - In order to allow folks to leave
early if they have to get up early the next morning, we are allowing the last
game (the 4 man 01 game) to be played in game position 5 on the score sheets and
then continue on with game 5 on the score sheets becoming game 6 and so forth
with the balance of the games to be played in the order they are printed on
the score sheets.
Rule 10-H
At both Captain's discretion - During the night, if the next game to be
played is a Cricket game the Cricket game may be played simultaneously on a
separate board if a separate board is available and as long as it does not take
a chalker or statistician away from an '01 game. This will shorten the night's
play time because 2 games will be played simultaneously.
The next issue that was brought up was
saving the league some money on postage and printing. As a result: Beginning
with the Winter League, if you want the stats mailed to you, you’ll have to
request it. As for everybody else stats can be downloaded from the website or
received by Email. They will arrive in your Email as an attachment in .PDF
(Adobe Acrobat) format with the Email announcing that the Stats have been
published to our web site. You can save them, print them out or just view
them. If you don't have Adobe Acrobat on your computer you can download the
viewer free from the Adobe.com web site.
The
third issue that was brought was board
setups not being in compliance with the rules. It was decided with a unanimous
vote that Mike Williams, V.P. of C&M Darts “The Dart Guy” is now
NODA’s first B.I.G. (Board Inspector General) It was also decided that the
league would give Mike a gas allowance for his duty. Be sure to let your venues
know that Mike will be coming in and certifying the boards and that the venues
can purchase new dart boards and throw-lines from Mike. At the November
meeting Mike will present a report on what he found.
Just as a reminder, all members are welcome to attend all board meetings.
Thank You
NODA Board of Directors

NODA Board Meeting
7:55pm
Those present - Lynn McClelland, Joe & Sher Martin, Ruben Flores, Sandi
Quaine, Vickie Weber, MaryAnn Schick.
Rhea Thomas excused due to out of the country.
Treasurers Report - Read and accepted.
Youth League-
Money from back board still owed from ??. Vickie Weber also has a
board from the league, was that board going to be given to her for running
the youth league???????
New rules being added to the youth league pertaining to siblings being
brought. Safety issues were being addressed during the season. The board
members will receive a copy once they are re-written. The tournament and
banquet went great over 40 people showed for youth league.
ADO
Mike Abbott is still a possibility for for our ADO Rep. Mike Abbott and
Jimmy Smith discussed with Ruben at banquet new ideas for the ADO qualifier.
Should we add in that players who qualify for ADO events that we pay for
have to reimburse the NODA for failing to show up?? This was brought up as
we had it happen.
We may possibly have some new teams joining the NODA from the Milford area.
Adding an
Additional League Night - 2nd night of league was brought up as a free benefit to the players of the
NODA. There was great concern from the majority of the board that this would
greatly affect our Monday night attendance, therefore it was voted that at
this time it needs more planning and guidelines and maybe in the future it
would work.
Next meeting will be at Tommy T's on our sign up night. That is August 13th.
Meeting called @ 9:25
Respectfully Submitted,
Vickie (fill in secretary for the night since Rhea was out of the country)

the league

Youth league report-Vicki Weber
The Youth League is growing! Another 10 have joined.
The parents like the way it is running. The plan is to have a once a
month face off (no adults) during the summer. There are currently 28
trophies in reserve. Vicki would like to give a trophy for their luck
of the draw which would be tallied on a point system. Their season
ends on
Ruben reported that the ADO shoot has been
rescheduled for
Venue Acknowledgement
- Some venues are not holding up to their
responsibilities. Through much discussion, it was suggested to give
the venues a responsibility contract or checklist. Tommy T would like
to see better trophies for recognition for the teams. He feels the
plaques with computer generated certificates is somewhat a slap in the face
and do nothing exciting for the bar owner and his establishment.
After much discussion, the idea of giving just the
computer generated certificate, no wooden plaque, to the winners, would save
us a sizable amount of $. This way we could increase the trophy for
the bars. Most players do not care if they get a plaque.
Another idea is to poll the players to see if they
want a plaque if they win and we could plan for it. This should be
done at the beginning of the Fall/Winter season.
The senior board will step up to bat to check the
venues to see if they are following league rules and to answer any
questions about how we run the league. The date will be settled after
the meeting.
Our coordinators are: 1st div. Mary Ann Schick
2nd
div. Lynn McClelland

Sandi Quaine
Rhea suggested that we have at hand the chronological
dates of what is happening thru out the year. This
may avoid making double dates and separating the leagues in different
directions.

Have a great day!

The league is doing very well. They now have 6
teams with more involvement upcoming. They will be able to have 2
divisions of 5 teams each. The youth would like shirts or jackets to
promote there league.
Also, a college scholarship of $50.00 or so was
thought of. Upon implementation, we would let it grow while we rethink
the specifics of this idea.
The banquet for the youth should be about $5.00 or
$6.00 a youth.
It has been requested that the sportsmanship
award be brought back to be given back at the end of the year banquet.
The board decided the go through the criteria for this award over the summer
for implementation next year.
The '01 all star shoot will be on either 3/10 or 11,
or 3/24 or 25 at American Legion. All depends on availability.
The board agreed on these dates as acceptable.
Venue Acknowledgement
- Ruben also reported the bars want 1st and possibly
2nd place trophies/plaques displayed at their bars. We spoke of
the security of the trophies in the bars, (remembering the disappearance of
the Moe Crook trophy).
