Team Dart is held annually at Bally’s
Las Vegas allowing players to experience Las Vegas at a central location
for full vacation benefits. The tournament hall, which is large enough to
hold the entire tournament, is located
just steps away from Bally’s casino
and sleeping rooms.

The tournament is unique because
skill levels range from beginners to
masters. All participants are classified into levels according to their individual or team’s skill rating.
“We’re very excited about the opportunity to offer everyone a chance to
experience all of Team Dart with a
six day competition schedule instead
of nine,” said Alvin Gerlach, President
of the NDA. “This shortened schedule
was asked for by operators and players and means less money out of poket
for travel expenses and more opportunities to play in additional events
and win. We hope to see everyone in
Vegas next year as we roll out this exciting change.”

Weight of Darts
Increased!

Following discussion at the annual membership meeting, AMOANational Dart Association members
have approved an increase in dart
gram weight from 18 to 20 grams.
As of June 1, 2015, NDA-sanctioned
players are able to use 20 gram darts
in all NDA Regional, Junior and
International Tournaments.
This change applies to all NDA
Tournaments. Operators may still
determine what weight of darts may
be used for local league play and local tournaments. Players should also
check the regulations of their state
tournament.

17 Outstanding
Players Named to
Team USA 2016

The NDA would like to congratulate
the following individuals for their exemplary performance at Team Dart
2015. Team USA 2016 will represent the USA in the International
Challenge, an event that highlights
the best players from around the
world on April 27 during Team Dart
2016 at Bally’s Las Vegas.
