Wisconsin Dells, Wisconsin Wisconsin State Dart Tournament The Largest Soft-tip Dart Tournament! The WAMO (Wisconsin Amusement and Music Operators) Wisconsin State Dart Tournament was again a huge success. The tournament was held May 13-17, 2015, at the Chula Vista Resort & Wisconsin Center in Wisconsin Dells. It is the largest dart tournament in the USA and possibly the largest dart tournament in the world. There were 936 team entries: 1,715 Doubles entries, 2,053 singles 301 entries and 604 Cricket entries. There were 256 Galaxy 3 dart games used during the tournament. All WAMO operators volunteer their time to run the tournament, and Dale Saunders is the Coordinator for the whole tournament. The tournament lasts five days. Shooters take their vacation time to come to Wisconsin Dells to shoot in this tournament. There is a lot to do in the Dells area like fishing, golf, boat rides and shopping when not shooting. Events started at 8:30 a.m. and went until they ended. Some finished as late as 3 a.m., but we try to get everyone out by 1 a.m. Thanks to all the players for participating and to all the Operators for all their hard work. We are looking forward to next year’s event.
