The PA State Dart Tournament Is The Grand Daddy Of Them All Now In It's 40th Year!

 

Press Release!

The dates for the 40th consecutive running of the Pennsylvania State Dart Tournament have been announced. The PA State Dart Tournament is the most prestigious American Style Dart tournament in the world.

This year the event will take place over the weekends of January 19th through February 23rd.

Being an American style dart event, the tournament uses wooden dartboards and American style darts. Darto is the official dart of the 2008 State Tournament although players are allowed to bring their preferred darts for use in the event. The game played during the event is Baseball.

The event consists of several weekends of qualifying tournaments followed by the final tournament. Each qualifying tournament will have at most 16 teams and begins at noon. Teams that are undefeated in the qualifier are placed in the winner’s bracket of the final tournament. Teams that have a single loss on qualifying day are placed in the loser’s bracket in the finals.

Any team that loses twice during the qualifying tournament is eliminated from the event.

Teams consist of up to four players with three players shooting each game. There are no divisions or tiers in the State Tournament so players are not required to bring proof of their league dart averages.

Entry fee for the PA State Dart Tournament is $50 per team!

Schedule
Qualifying Dates:
Jan 19th (Saturday)
Jan 27th (Sunday)
Feb 2nd (Saturday)
Feb 10th (Sunday)
Feb 17th (Sunday)

Finals:
Saturday, February 23rd

The event is being held at the same site as last year’s tournament, the Tresckow Fire Company in Tresckow, PA.

The Good Doctor Takes Aim With Surgical Precision!

 

The A.B.D.A. is for league shooters from leagues that keep individual averages. Once a shooter participates in an A.B.D.A. tournament they automatically become a member. There are

NO MEMBERSHIP FEES!

The Qualifier Tournaments are in place so that a league can host a local tournament for the players that really aren't interested in traveling too much and also to benefit financially the league and/or establishment that hosts the event. It also benefits the local teams that QUALIFY (the top 25% get a SEEDED PLACEMENT in the draw for the finals in Emmaus). ALL OTHER TEAMS (including teams that may NOT HAVE QUALIFIED LOCALLY) are still welcomed and encouraged to enter the finals event (providing there is room in the draw) and accept the usual luck-of-the-draw placement. We have opened up the draw this year so we can accommodate more teams and consequently pay out more prize money!
