 Greater Omaha Leagues' inaugural event has received an upgrade and a bit of a facelift. What was once supposed to be a $4,500 added 4-day holiday weekend of remote events stretched out over the entirety of Labor Day weekend has been altered ... but in a good way.
The event will feature the same tournaments; but will be split among two back to back weekends so that players aren't required to play on Friday evening or the Labor Day holiday itself. This was done due to many reasons, including but not limited to: bar availability on the holiday and also player burnout after four straight days of competition. On top of the schedule change, $1,500 more has been added to the payouts for the event pushing this first year's added money to nearly $6,000.00!!! No other changes have been made. Registration for events will still open on 8/1/21 & cease on 8/22/21 and brackets will begin posting in the days that follow. Schedule of Events: Saturday August 28th, 2021: Top 24 Singles --- Shoot at 1pm --- The 24 players who played the most Remote tournaments during the qualifying period will have the chance to play in a bonus Remote Singles event with $1,000.00 added!! If a tie exists at #24, all tied players will earn eligibility. This will be broken down into two divisions based upon averages with $250.00 paid out to the Champion of each division. This event is a reward and a thank you to our most loyal remote tournament players & as such there are no entry fees for this event. Payouts for each division of this event will be: 1st: $250.00, 2nd: $150.00, 3rd: $75.00, 4th: $25.00 ...

 2019-20 Greater Omaha Leagues' most avid darters will vie for some large payouts on Saturday February 6th, 2021. Due to Covid, the format has been changed to Remote Singles & the payouts lowered a bit; but the competition will still be fierce and many will be watching to see who will be crowned in each skill division. Divisions are based upon each players' overall averages (01 & CR) throughout the Ultimate Qualifier period ... if a player had a higher average in tournaments over a specific number of games, that is the average that was used for placement. If a player has a higher average for a competing vendor, that is the average that was used for placement.
 All registrations are due by January 28th, 2021 ... as usual, do NOT procrastinate as some bars fill their spots very quickly. This is one of the "short" leagues, averaging between 9-12 weeks depending upon the league. These leagues will finish their schedule in April.
