   Tournament Rules

10. The matches will be played over a number of venues throughout the Kansas City Metro, location names and a map of the bars will be provided by the DOM Staff in your folders received at the Captains Meeting.
11. No Practice once match has started
12. No coaching a player at the line (step away to talk to players/team). Please use courtesy when players on other teams are throwing (whether on that board or a nearby board).
13. Home team is determined by a coin toss, then toss to see who goes first for game 5.
14. Each tournament match will be five (5) games. All five (5) games must be played. The first team to win three (3) games is the winner of the match. The matches consist of 4 games of 301 Open In/ Open Out (Freeze rule applies), and one game of 501 piggy back Open In/Open Out (Freeze rule applies) In all games (four) 4 positions are played in order to make freezing/blocking possible.
15. Freeze rule: If at any time in the game, your opponents combined scores are less than that of your partner, you cannot go to zero. If a player goes to zero and his partners score is higher than the opponents combined scores, the game is a forfeit and the win is credited to the opponent with the lowest score.
16. It is the throwers responsibility to see that the machine is displaying the correct players number prior to throwing any darts. Darts must not be thrown until the THROW DARTS LIGHT IS ON. Any dart thrown early may not be thrown over or manually scored.
17. If a dart is dropped across the throw line and it lands on the floor past the throw line, it is considered a thrown dart and the player loses that point. This is not debatable by the captains of the team.
18. Bars will provide quarters and score sheets for match play only (Not Blind Draw)
19. The dart board is always right. For example, if a player throws a dart and it sticks in the Triple 20 but the board registers a Single 20, the player cannot manually input the Triple 20 as the correct score. If a dart stays in the board but does not register, the dart will not be manually scored.
20. If a player throws when it is the turn of a player on the opposing team, any points scored will remain on the machine and the machine will be advanced around so that the correct player may have a full turn.
21. If a player throws when it is the turn of a teammate, any points scored will remain on the machine and both members of that team will be passed on their next turn.
22. If a player throws out if turn and it ends the game, the players team forfeits the game. The opponent with the lowest score is credited with the win.
23. A player may pass on any or all darts in any turn.
24. At the completion of a match, each team captain must double-check the score sheet and sign it.
25. The winning team is responsible for calling AND turning in the score sheets (with both team captains signatures) to the Host Bar.
26. In the even of a missing score sheet, both team captains will have to re-create a new sheet and sign it before a DOM member and turn it in. No wins will be credited without a score sheet.
27. Should any other problems arise that are not addressed above, the team captain that perceives the problem should stop the game and contact one of the DOM tournament staff. The DOM staff, via the directors, has the final decision on all rulings.
