Toronto Singles Darts 501 and Cricket

One location. Tons of darts. Free food. Get home early.

The format is simple: depending on your level of play, play in a group where you play Round Robin against every other player. In an 8 player group you could play 21 legs in one night, depending on the format! Much like a regular league night, the objective with these groups is to get players out earlier, have them play a ton of darts that they normally wouldn't be able to and get them home at a reasonable time. No hassles, no doubles or team games, free finger food and all the darts you can play.

How it works:

Play during the regular season would be as follows:

  1. Seasons are comprised of 12 weeks with schedules and statistics being provided online.
  2. The proposed start times are 7:00-8:00pm or as agreed-upon by the players in that group.
  3. You play against all players in attendance each week.
  4. You might play 3 legs of 501 against each opponent for a minimum of 21 legs. Please note that this can change if fewer than 8 players are available, and On Cue plays cricket only.
  5. Groups can change the format any time provided that everyone is in agreement.

The appeal:

  1. A no-travel network - all your matches happen in one location, each week.
  2. You choose the location that's best for you (or you can even start your own).
  3. Different nights of play - flexible for busy lives.
  4. Only 2 per board, depending on the location - lots of play time and little waiting.
  5. A great practice tool in preparation of your regular league nights.
  6. Free food - just like league nights!
  7. Sponsor's prizes!
  8. No team games.
  9. Start early, have a great time, finish early, and, best of all - get home early!
