Each night of play consists of 9 sets. Each set is worth one team point
marked as a W or L on the score sheet. Each set is best of three legs. A
coin toss at the beginning of each set determines who begins the first leg.
Winner of the coin toss starts the first leg and the loser of the coin toss
begins the second leg. If a third leg is required ( each team wins one of the
first two legs ), then didle for the middle determines the starter of the third
and final leg. The winner of the coin toss has choice for bulling first. Sets 1,
2, and 3 are 501 straight in double out. Sets 4, 5, and 6 are 301 double in
double out. Sets 7, 8, and 9 are standard tournament American Cricket. Sets 1,
4, and 7 are teams ( doubles ). Sets 2, 3, 5, 6, 8, and 9 are singles. Overall,
each player will play 3 sets of doubles or teams and 3 sets of singles.
Before the beginning of the match, each team must fill out their line up for
the night. This will determine which opponent is played in the singles sets. The
order of the line up is irrelevant for the doubles sets. Teams can alter the
starter of the doubles legs, as long as the order is not disturbed during the
leg. However, the order on the sheet will be used to determine which opponent to
play during the singles sets. Players must play the same opponent in all three
singles sets. That is, the order on the sheet for the singles sets must be consistent.
Player 1 for the 501 singles must also be Player 1 for the 301 singles and the
cricket singles.
In the case that a player cannot make a night of play, he/she may use a spare
to replace him/her. In the case that a spare cannot be found in time or that
neither players of a team can make it, a make up match must be performed within
one week and the score sheet submitted on the following week of play. The
opponents must be contacted in advance. Contact information is provided on the
Contact page of the site. If make ups are not performed within one week then the
offending team will be awarded 0 points.
At the end of the match, one player from each team must sign the score sheet
and ensure that the sheet is filled out completely and correctly. Any high
finishes or least dart games must be recorded and initialed by one player of
each team. Please ensure that the date is filled out, names are clearly
recorded, wins and loses are clearly recorded and the total scores for the night
are recorded, in addition to singing the sheet and recording any high finishes
or least dart games. Failing to complete the sheet properly or clearly may
result in errors in the stats! Also, please do not forget to put your board away
in the NCSDL cabinet.
