It is required that at least one person on each team have the ability to score the match.

Of course, the NADO Tournament Director will be available to assist you should you have any problems.  

 

Updating machines/data transfer: Transferring data between dart machines and the NADO office requires hitting the Triple 20 segment six (6) times while the machine is in non-remote league setup screen. Players must manually load tournament data prior to forfeit time to begin the first match and then following each tournament match to send the data to the NADO staff. The machine will indicate “data transfer” upon rebooting the machine as described. Transferring data takes a few minutes to update for the next match to be posted to the live tournament.

Players are expected to arrive early and to play at least one casual remote game to ensure connectivity to the internet is constant and trouble–free.

 

ALL Events are Race to 2 Winner's & Loser's. Follow your Format for each Division.

Shot clock is used in all matches. Round limits are set at 20 rounds for 01 games and 25 rounds for Cricket.

All matches should begin within 10 minutes of post time. If not, then players are directed to contact the tournament director at that time to try to resolve the problem.

 

THE PLAYER CHANGE BUTTON IS USED FOR THIS TOURNAMENT.

 

The cork/diddle is game 1 in Both the Winner’s and Loser’s side. Use to decide Home Team before any match. Team on top on the bracket shoots first in the diddle (Home). The diddle game is one round (3 darts) for 1 player per team of Split Bull Count-Up. Each team elects a player; the selected player will throw all three darts. In the case of a tie, there is a 2nd round added (if Necessary) and the remaining partners will throw to determine a winner.   THE DIDDLE GAME DOES NOT COUNT AS WIN FOR MATCH PLAY, IT ONLY DECIDES WHO STARTS MATCH.

Winner’s & Loser’s Side - Race to 2 wins. Exit the league should a team reach 2 wins without the need for the tiebreaker. The winner of the winner’s side will play the winner of the loser’s side for the Championship. In the event the winner’s side wins first match, congratulations. If the loser’s side beats the winner’s side in the first match, there will be a final championship match played; winner of that match will be declared the winner.

Backing out of a game is considered a match forfeiture when game cannot be resumed.

ALL Players will receive 1 League Point for participating.

ALL PARTICIPANTS ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR COINING THEIR OWN BOARDS.

Player Substitutions - Substitution is allowed up to 15 minutes before competition begins.                    

Home team will go first on diddle and the losing team will start 2nd game. You can change your shooting order at any time before a game starts. This will be running on Compusport. The bracket will be drawn once all teams have checked in and the tournament director will announce when it is posted.

All matches are set with the video being recorded so that we can review any issues or complaints. Both cameras MUST be working. 

Camera problems: If you cannot see your opponent, IT IS YOUR LOCATION WITH THE PROBLEM, not your opponents. Make sure you are set up as remote play. If it is still not working unplug your board, wait 30 seconds, plug it in and try again.

Due to the amount of time needed we will need keep play at a constant pace. Please start your next game immediately after the last game ends. If you are taking a 5-minute break please alert the other team and the tournament director.

 

DO NOT MANUALLY SCORE DARTS

Dart Board Malfunctions: The score registered on the Dart Board will be considered FINAL in ALL discrepancies. Darts that do not register are considered a malfunction of the dart board. Manually scored darts may result in loss of game.

IF YOU FEEL THERE IS A PROBLEM, FINISH YOUR TURN AND DO NOT PRESS THE PLAYER CHANGE. CONTACT TOURNAMENT DIRECTOR AND OPPOSING TEAM VIA TEXT MESSAGE OR PHONE CALL. TAKE A SCEENSHOT OF BOARD IF POSSIBLE.

If there is an issue where someone feels the other team is shooting out of order, then alert the tournament director of the matter. Continue to play the match and after the match the director will review the match to see if a foul did occur. If found the other team shot out of order, then they will lose that game.

UNSPORTSMANLIKE CONDUCT RULE: Any team that is deemed to violate this rule will be forfeited from the tournament and possibly other NADO events and/or leagues. Unsportsmanlike conduct includes name calling, disrespectful behavior, slow play, deliberately slowing down the tournament, and anything else that disrespects the tournament or players or may slow the tournament down as deemed by the NADO staff.
