New to Houston darts or trying your first league? Here's what to know before you step up to the oche.
Visit a darts-friendly venue and check if a blind draw or practice night is offered. Confirm current schedules directly with the host.
VENUE DIRECTORYUse the existing new-player interest form. Organizers can help identify Urban or Westside teams with openings.
PLAYER INTERESTLeague teams traditionally play home and away fixtures over a season. Your captain will explain match order and format.
PERSONALIZED LEAGUE GUIDEA kickoff meeting before the season gives new players and incomplete teams a chance to connect. The next date must be confirmed with organizers.
Matches are usually home and away. Let your captain know if you cannot attend; the rules call for at least two hours' notice for a postponement request.
At least one teammate needs a DartConnect account (free works for regular team league play), and each team brings a connected smart device.
Start at 501 and subtract each turn's points. In common double-out play, finish on a double, including the inner bull. Different league formats can use different opening and finishing rules.
Target 15 through 20 and the bull. Close each with three marks. Triples count three marks; doubles count two. Once closed, score on an opponent's open number and finish with no points deficit.
Tournament and league rules can vary. Always check the current match sheet and organizer instructions.
A set of three steel-tip darts is a good starting point. Ask about borrowing or trying equipment.
Arrive early, introduce yourself and ask how scoring and board assignments work.
Never approach the board while someone is throwing. Wait until the board is clear.
Space City Darts uses DartConnect for league scoring. The official guide covers X01 and Cricket.
No. The association historically offered multiple divisions for different skill levels. Team availability varies by season.
A community darts tournament where teams or partners are determined by a draw. Individual venues set their own entry rules and fees.
