End of Season Table - 17 October 2011

Well, that's the 2011 summer league fixtures all played. Unfortunately Anne isn't well at the moment and couldn't play her last match so Graham got the 2 points for that one. Some good performances this time out. Here's the final standings and complete results:

• Summer 2011 Final Table
• Summer 2011 Complete Results

Next Monday 24th will be final night. I'm not expecting Anne to be fit to play so the first round draw will involve the remaining seven with a bye for top of the table Ram.

Final Knockout Draw
First Round

1. Ram has a bye
2. Craig v Ben
3. James v Graham
4. Andy v Darren

Semi Finals

• Ram v winner of #4
• Winner of #2 v winner of #3

There will be cash prizes for the top 3. A big thank you to everybody who took part. The next league will start in the New Year, but don't forget the big annual Christmas Knockout to be held on 19th December this year.

Halloween Special
There will be a special competition on Monday 31st, Halloween. All the entrants will be drawn into two teams and will compete through singles, doubles and a gallon. It will be £3 per player to enter and the winning team will share the pot. I'm hoping Ram will show up as the Count - it'd be a laugh if we could get everybody there in fancy dress for a proper party atmosphere. I'll be putting notices up soon in the pub.

League Table & Fixtures - 10th October

We're into the last round now and just need Graham to play his remaining four matches before we go into the finals. Sorry I didn't manage to get the results together last week - too busy with one thing and another. Honourable mention to Darren who threw a cracking 154 but bust; dishonourable mention for also throwing a 2 in the same match.

We played an impromptu 6-way knockout last night to give everybody who was there a game - despite me throwing some of my best darts this year I lost to Craig in the preliminary round. James put in a steady performance all round to win it and collect the £12 prize. Thanks to everyone who took part.

The finals will be on Monday 24th October and will be an 8-way knockout where 1st plays 8th, 2nd plays 7th and so on.

Halloween Special
There will be a special competition on Monday 31st October, Halloween. I'll split the entrants into two teams and have a series of singles and doubles matches - maybe even an all-in 1001. This one will be £3 per entrant with the winnings divided among the victorious team.

League Table & Fixtures - 19th September

Not far to go now in the league: just two weeks and ten matches left. This coming Monday 26th September is another knockout competition - open to anybody who fancies a go as usual, just pay your £2 entry on the night and winner takes all.

Back to the league - the finals will be held on Monday 24th October with the week before being an opportunity to play any outstanding fixtures and then have some kind of informal competition that night. The structure of the finals will be a straight knockout involving all eight players with 1st playing 8th, 2nd playing 7th and so on in the first round. If there's anybody who can't make it on the night then whoever they would have played will get a bye.

League Table & Fixtures - 5th September

The league's back - the second half kicked off last night. A couple of people were a bit rusty after the break - you know who you are ;-)

Solid darts from Andy to hit the highest checkout so far - 115 - well done! And a special mention to Anne for yet again nearly getting a point. Took the first leg against Ram fairly comfortably and then struggled a bit with doubles to leave the door open for a comeback.

Bullseye Night Update plus League Table & Fixtures - 22nd August

The latest darts league standings are up now:

"Bullseye" Night - Date Changed
The "Bullseye" darts & quiz night is now going to be on Sunday 28th August from 8:30pm so that most people won't have work the next day (it's Bank Holiday Monday). I've got a couple of teams signed up already - if you're interested please can you put your team name and individual names on a slip of paper and hand it over the bar with your £5 before the night - I really need to have these in a.s.a.p.

To recap - teams of 2 (one darts player, one brainy) will compete against each other through a series of elimination rounds. I will be hosting the event (you can call me Jim Bowen for the night) and it's basically a social event - should be lots of fun so come along and join in! The more the merrier.

League Table & Fixtures - 8th August

 It was a catch-up week this week. We cleared the backlog of matches involving James & Graham and we will be going into the second half on the 24th August. We had a little 8-way knockout competition last night as well - just one leg of 501 in each match - which James won with some steady scoring and efficient checking out.

The latest table and fixtures are here:

• League Table
• Results & Fixtures

Next Monday is another knockout - 3 legs of 301 with double in.

Bullseye Night
Bank Holiday Monday 29th August will be Bullseye Night. I need teams of 2 - one darts player and one non-darts player - to compete through a number of rounds of darts skill and general knowledge to try and become the pub Bullseye champions! Entry will be £5 per team - it's open to anybody - and there'll be signs going up in the pub soon.

The format will be based on the TV show. The initial rounds will allocate subject categories to numbers around the board, so 5, 20 or 1 might be Sport, 18, 4 or 13 might be History and so on. Outside the treble ring will be worth 30 points, inside will be 50 points and the bullseye will be 100. One team will be eliminated at the end of each round. The next rounds will be like "Pounds for Points" with normal darts scoring and will continue until we are down to the final team.

The value of the prizes will depend on how many teams I can get signed up before the night - I'll keep you updated. There will be a first, second and third prize for the top 3 placed teams. And of course there will be a special "Star Prize" that the top team can gamble their winnings against...
