October 31 - November 2 2014 2014 Hosted by DoubleTree Y MOUNTA I CK DA RT AS N RO STAPLETON NORTH IO SOCIAT N (303) 703-8248 www.rmda.org 2014 Welcome to the 2014 Colorado Open Dart Tournament at the DoubleTree Hotel in Denver, Colorado! We hope you’ll enjoy the competition and fun of the weekend, as well as the beauty of Colorado. Congratulations and good luck to all those participating in the 2014 ADO U.S. Team National Finals. The Rocky Mountain Dart Association is very proud and excited to again host this event. If not for the attendance and participation from you, our dart players, we could not have made this tournament what it is today. I just want to say thank you for all of your support through the years. The financial support of our sponsors - businesses, as well as RMDA teams and players - also helps make it possible to have the Colorado Open. Most of the businesses you see advertised around the dart hall and in the program are owned and operated by fellow dart players, including many from our very own association. Please support them as they have supported us. And, of course, where would we be without all the volunteers? Thank you to the RMDA tournament committee, Board members and various league members who have given their time and energy to help make the Colorado Open happen! We are always looking for new ideas to improve and grow our tournament, so please don’t hesitate to let us know if you have any suggestions or comments. Once again, thanks to all of you for being here! Throw awesome darts and have a blast this weekend!

Than is a conjunction used with comparative adjectives and adverbs (she is younger than her). Those are a few of the commonly used homonyms. The English language can be a tricky thing at times. After all, there are so many words in the English language, is it any wonder so many have been mixed up over the years? Words can be misused for many different reasons. Pronunciations and meanings get lost in translation. Everyone knows what you mean in your angry Facebook rant, but it [and you] isn’t taken seriously because incorrect grammar has been used and everyone now is making fun of you. Let’s look at a few common mistakes. Next, there are the words that simply don’t exist like irregardless (as easy as that one rolls off the tongue; it’s really just regardless), misunderestimate (you have a choice here; underestimate or misestimate; not both) and supposably (this is another one that is so easy to say, but still doesn’t exist. Use supposedly). Then there are the words that actually do have meanings but just not what you think they do. Take “literally” for example; it is misused as an intensifier or to emphasize a point. It is also often used in place of “figuratively,” when in all actuality, it means “in a literal manner; word for word.” Alanis Morissette didn’t do us any favors with her song Ironic. Ironic is used most often as something funny that happened to you or a coincidence. In the song, Alanis uses “a traffic jam when you’re already late” and “a no smoking sign on your cigarette break” to show irony. These are unfortunate, but not ironic. The true meaning on ironic is “an occurrence that is the opposite of what was expected.” Travesty is often confused for tragedy. It’s a common mistake; they do sound similar. A tragedy is a very sad, unfortunate event. A travesty is a mockery or a parody. Bemused vs. amused; these words are not to be interchanged. Bemused means to be confused not amused. Homonyms (words that sound alike) can present all sorts of issues. Most likely the errors of this type will not be caught on a word processing program either. Among the most common misused homonyms are accept and except. Accept is a verb that means to receive. Except is a preposition meaning to exclude. An example where both of these are used is, “I will accept all offers except this one.” Other commonly misused homonyms are there, their and they’re. There is an adverb to show a place (e.g. over there) or expletive (e.g. there are some left); their shows possession (e.g. it is their turn); and they’re is a contraction for they are (e.g. they’re going to the store). Another commonly misused pair of homonyms are then and than. Then is an adverb used Hitting the bullseye is easier than you think Lastly, phrases get jumbled because more often than not, people don’t enunciate. At the top of the list is “for all intensive purposes.” Used correctly, it should be “for all intents and purposes.” When trying to imply that you really don’t care, using “I could care less” is not getting the point across; try “I couldn’t care less.” Anyways doesn’t exist; use anyway, it’s not towards; use toward, suppose to doesn’t work; don’t omit the d – supposed to, use to also is not correct; also don’t forget to omit the d – used to (these phrases are showing past tense). Atlas Real Estate Group has a unique business approach and a dynamic network of established partnerships. Contact Ryan Gilmartin to put your real estate goals on target The average person could care less whether or not the correct word is used. Everyone knows what is meant. Right? Don’t misunderestimate the power of the English language. It is important for all intensive purposes. But irregardless, supposably, now you know.

Solution on page 18. 7 8 A Tavern, a Fallen Tree, and Shortened Arrows Jennifer Sands The rules and darts began to settle into what they are today during the early 1900s. There were also many different types of dartboards during this time until the ‘clock’ board became the standard. According to Christopher G. Carey, author of American Darts Organization Book of Darts, “The international throwing line of 7 ft. 9 1/4 inches was established in the 1970s to make it standard for international competitions; depending on the country (or at times, even the venue), the throwing line was anywhere from 7 ft 6 in. to 8 ft.,...It really wasn’t until after WWII that many of the rules of darts became standardized.” Since the throwing line has been standardized, people all around the world can enjoy the sport of darts in international competitions, in leagues, or in private parties and all be on an equal footing. Evolution not only has evolved man, but your dart board as well. In medieval times, when warriors became bored they would trudge on down to the local brewery (that hasn’t changed much) and challenge each other to games of throwing their shortened spears into the ends of fallen trees. The age rings of the tree often cracked and developed a close likeness to the dart board of today (Fig. 1). The bottoms of wine casks were later used to serve as a dart board. The game became popular in the Middle Ages because it kept the soldiers’ throwing arm in practice. The game became widespread and noblemen began to play as well. England’s King Henry VIII was even given a set as a gift and enjoyed the game. The sport is most popular in Britain, followed by the Netherlands, Germany, and the Scandinavian countries. However, the sport in growing in popularity among Americans, where hundreds of thousands of dartboards are sold every year to millions who play darts every week. The game continued to grow in popularity, however, in 1908, the game was almost banned because people believed that it was a game of chance and that skill was not involved; it was settled in a courtroom and banned in Scotland. The ban was short-lived since there was a public outcry.

Good Sportsmanship will be the prevailing attitude throughout the tournament. 2. All players/teams will play by these Tournament Rules and, where necessary, any supplemental Rules stipulated by local Tournament Organizers. 3. The interpretation of these Tournament Rules, in relation to a specific darts event, will rest with local Tournament Organizers, whose decisions shall be final and binding. Protests after the fact will not be considered. 4. Any player/team who, during the course of any event, fails to comply with any of these Tournament Rules, will be subject to disqualification from that event. 5. Gambling is neither permitted nor sanctioned by the ADO. 6. The ADO will in the course of Tournament Sanctioning, ensure to the best of its ability, that the host/sponsor organization has the funding and/or sponsorship necessary to support the advertised cash prize structure for a darts event. The manner and matter of tournament prize payments are the responsibility of the respective host/sponsor organization and not that of the ADO. 7. The ADO assumes no responsibility for accident or injury on the premises. 8. The ADO reserves the right to add to or amend the ADO Tournament Rules at any time. 17. Should a player have any portion of his feet or shoes over the hockey line during a turn, all darts so thrown will be counted as part of his turn, but any score made by said darts will be invalid and not counted. One warning by a tournament official will be considered sufficient before invoking this rule. 18. A player wishing to throw a dart, or darts, from a point either side of the hockey must keep his feet behind an imaginary straight line extending from either side of the hockey. TURN 19. A Turn consists of three darts, unless a Leg/Match is completed in a lesser amount. 20. All darts must be thrown by, and from, the hand. The player is allowed a total of 3 minutes to complete their turn as timed by a tournament official. No darts will be allowed to be thrown after 3 minutes. 21. Should a player ‘touch’ any dart that is in the dartboard during a turn, that turn will be deemed to have been completed. 22. A dart bouncing off or falling out of the dartboard, will not be rethrown. PROCEDURAL 9. Decisions regarding the prize structure and event schedule, the method of player registration, and the choice of the match pairing system, are left at the discretion of local Tournament Organizers. 10. Each player is entitled to (9) NINE practice darts at the assigned matchboard prior to a match. No other practice darts may be thrown during the match without the permission of the chalker. 11. Tournament boards are reserved for assigned match pairings only. Boards are not to be used for practice, unless so designated by the Tournament Organizers. 12. Match pairings will be called 3 times only (minimum of 5 minutes between calls). Should a player/team fail to report to the assigned board within the 15 minutes allotted time, a Forfeit will be called. NOTE: Should a player/team be called to matches in two concurrent events (i.e. a female in both Women’s only and an Open event), that player/team must choose in which event she/they wish to continue play. A Forfeit will be called, unless that player/team can reach their assigned board within the 15 minutes. 13. Should a player’s equipment become damaged, or be lost during the course of a turn, that player will be allowed up to a maximum of 5 minutes in which to repair/replace the playing equipment. 14. A maximum time limit of 5 minutes under exceptional circumstances, subject to the notification of the opponent and the chalker, will be allowed in the instance of a player requiring to leave the playing area during the course of matchplay. 15. Opponents and chalkers ONLY are allowed inside the playing area. 16. Opposing players must stand at least 2 feet behind the player at the hockey. STARTING AND FINISHING (ALL EVENTS) 23. All Matches will begin with a coin flip to determine who has the option to throw 1st or 2nd at the Inner Bull. The player throwing closest to the Inner Bull will throw first in the 1st Leg. The Loser of the 1st Leg has the option of throwing for the Inner Bull first in the 2nd Leg. If the 3rd Leg is necessary, the Inner Bull will again be thrown, with the loser of the original coin flip having the option of throwing first. 24. The second thrower may acknowledge the first dart as an Inner or Outer Bull and ask for that dart to be removed prior to his throw. Should the first dart be removed without the request of the 2nd thrower, a rethrow will occur; with the 2nd thrower now having the option of throwing first. The dart must remain the in the board in order to count. Additional throws may be made, until the player’s dart remains in the board. Should the 2nd thrower dislodge the dart of the 1st, a rethrow will be made with the 2nd thrower now throwing first. Rethrows shall be called if the chalker cannot decide which dart is closest to the Inner Bull, or if both darts are anywhere in the Inner Bull, or both darts are anywhere in the Outer Bull. The decision of the chalker is final. Should a rethrow 16 be necessary, the darts will be removed and the person who threw 2 nd will now throw 1st. 25. For the purpose of starting and finishing a Leg/Match, the Inner Bull is considered a double 25. 46. Once a player/team closes a number, he/they may score points on that number until the opponent also closes that number. The double and triple count as 2 or 3 times the numerical values, respectively. All numerical scores are added to the previous balance. Once both players/teams have scored three of a number, it is ‘closed’, and no further scoring can be made on that number by either player/team. 47. To close the bull, the Outer Bull counts as a single, and the Inner Bull counts as a double. 48. Numbers can be ‘owned’ or ‘closed’ in any order desired by the individual player/team. Calling your shot is not required. 49. It shall be the responsibility of the player to verify his score before removing his darts from the board. The score remains as written if one or more darts has been removed from the board. In accordance with the inherent “strategy” involved in the Cricket game, corrections in arithmetic must be made before the next player throws. See #1. 50. Winning the game: · The player/team that closes all the numbers first and has the highest numerical score, will be declared the winner. · If both sides are tied in points, or have no points, the first player/ team to close the specified numbers will be the winner. · If a player/team closes the numbers first, and is behind in points, he/they must continue to score on any number not closed until either the point deficit is made up, or the opponent has closed all the numbers. DOUBLE/TEAM EVENTS 26. It is permissible for the Doubles/Team player finishing a Leg, to throw for the Inner Bull and start the subsequent Leg. It is also permissible for one member of a Doubles or Team to throw for the Inner Bull 1st, and have his partner or teammate shoot first in the leg. 27. It is permissible for a Double or Team to participate with fewer than the required number of players, provided that the team forfeits a turn(s) in each rotation, equal to the number of missing players. The missing player(s) may NOT join a Leg in progress, but is allowed to participate in a subsequent Leg(s) of that Match. 28. At the tournament director’s discretion, women may be recycled in mixed doubles and triples events only. 29. No substitutes will be allowed after the first round of Doubles/ Team play. SCORING 30. A scoreboard must be mounted within 4’ laterally from the dartboard and at not more than a 45-degree angle from the dartboard. It must be clearly visible in front of the player at the hockey. 31. In all ADO sanctioned tournaments, you must have a chalker if one is available. If one is not available, the player must leave the darts in the board until the score is recorded. 32. The chalker will mark the scores made in the outer columns of the scoreboard, and the totals remaining in the two middle columns. 33. The chalker, if asked, may inform the thrower what he as scored and/or what he has left. He MAY NOT inform the thrower what he has left in terms of number combinations. It IS permissible for a partner, teammate, or a spectator to advise the thrower during the course of a Match. See #1. 34. No dart may be touched by the thrower, another player, the chalker, or spectator, prior to the decision of the chalker. 35. For a dart to score it must remain in the board 5 seconds after the 3rd or final dart has been thrown by that player. The tip of the dart point must be touching the bristle portion of the board. 36. A dart’s score shall be determined from the side of the wire at which the point of the dart enters the wire segment. 37. Should a dart lodge directly between the connecting wires on the dartboard, making it impossible to determine on which side of the wire the dart resides, the score shall always be the higher value of the two segments in question. This includes the outside double ring for the game shot. Determination as to whether the dart is directly between the wires will be made in accordance with rules #34 and #36. 38. It is the responsibility of the player to verify his score before removing his darts from the board. The score remains as written if one or more darts has been removed. 39. In Doubles/Team events, no player may throw (during a Leg) until each of his teammates has completed his turn. The FIRST player throwing out of turn will receive a score of zero points for that round and his Team will forfeit the turn. EQUIPMENT DARTS 51. Darts used in tournament play cannot exceed an overall maximum length of 30.5 cm (12 in.), nor weigh more than 50 gm per dart. Each dart will consist of a recognizable point, barrel, and flight. DARTBOARD 52. The dartboard will be a standard 18” bristle board, of the type approved by the ADO, and will be of the standard 1-20 clock pattern. A scoreboard is necessary, see rule #30. Visit adodarts.com the official ADO website for the latest information on darts nationwide. Among the useful information on the site is the ADO Tournament calendar which lists all ADO sanctioned events, as well as Men’s and Women’s National Points Standings. Sanctioned by ADDITIONAL ADO ‘01’ COMPETITION RULES 40. Errors in arithmetic stand as written, unless corrected prior to the beginning of that player’s next turn. In case of Doubles/Team matches, such errors must be rectified prior to the next turn of any partner/player on that team. 41. A Leg/Match is concluded at such time as a player/team hits the ‘double’ required to reduce their remaining score to zero, unless otherwise stated by the local Tournament Organizers. All darts thrown subsequently will not count for score. 42. The ‘BUST RULE’ will apply. If the player scores one less, equal, or more points than needed to reach zero, he has “busted”. His score reverts to the score required prior to the beginning of his turn. 43. Fast finishes such as 3 in a bed, 222, 111, Shanghai, etc., do not apply. ® ADDITIONAL ADO AMERICAN CRICKET RULES The following rules shall apply for ADO Sanctioned Cricket events, effective January 1, 1984. 44. Cricket is played using the numbers 20, 19, 18, 17, 16, 15 and both the Inner and Outer Bull. 45. To close a number, the player/team must score three of that number. The double and triple ring count as 2 or 3, respectively. Closure can be accomplished with three singles, a single and a double, or a triple. 17 HOCKEY 59. Whenever possible, a raised hockey, at least 11⁄2” high and 2’ long, will be placed in position at the minimum throwing distance, and will measure from the back of the raised hockey 7’91⁄4” along the floor to a plumb line at the face of the dartboard. 60. In the event the hockey is a tape or similar ‘flush’ marking, the minimum throwing distance is measured from the front edge of the tape closest to the dartboard. 10 11 14 7 19 15 Outer Bull (25 points) Out of Play Area (No Score) 6 8 1 Inner Bull Double 25 or (50 points) 13 6 Single Score (Face Value) Triple Score (Triple the number) 5 20 1 18 12 4 Double Score (Twice the number) 3 INTERNATIONAL DARTBOARD 3 17 2 OTHER DIMENSIONS Inner Bull Height = 1.73 meters (5ft-8ins) Minimum Throwing Distance = 2.37 metres (7ft – 91⁄4 ins) Diagonal – Inner Bull to back of hockey = 2.93 metres (9ft – 7-3/8 ins) Height of raised hockey = 33 mm (11⁄2 ins) Length of raised hockey = 610 mm (2ft – 0 ins) Conversion Factor STANDARD DIMENSIONS Double and Triple rings inside width measurement = (5/16 ins) Inner Bull Inside Measurement = (0.5 ins) Outer Bull Inside Measurement = (1.25) Outside edge of Double wire to Inner Bull = (6.75 ins) Outside edge of Triple wire to Inner Bull = (4.25 ins) Outside ‘edge of Double wire to outside edge of Double Wire = (13.5ins) Overall dartboard diameter – (18.0 ins) Spider wire gauge (Maximum Standard Wire guage = 16 SWG 53.
