Kenzie Ostrander In the event that there are players that can't participate in the Finale event ... the rules state: "If a player does not show up the day of the finale, the next highest ranked player in attendance will get the spot. In the event that there are no additional players in attendance and someone no-shows, the following will occur: If there is already replacement player(s) in the finale due to a player declining their spot, the lowest ranking player will be removed (that being one of the aforementioned replacement players). If there is no replacement players in the event, a replacement player that was within the Top 100 can be called if they can arrive within 15 minutes. If multiple players within the Top 100 can make it within 15 minutes, the highest ranking determines who gets the spot. If this is also not an option, see #3. If all options have been exhausted and there is still an impasse, the lowest ranking player (points wise) will be removed from the tournament to make the event even again. This is another reason that it's important to finish as high in the rankings as possible...this has never had to be exercised, but just in case it's always best to finish as high as possible. If multiple players no-show the finale event, we will only add 1 player to bring the event back even and play with less than 40 players. It's too difficult to guarantee that there will be multiple replacement players on hand or available to fill more than one spot with no notice." Payouts for the 2019 UQ Finale Event are: 1st Place: $1000.00 Each 2nd Place: $550.00 Each 3rd Place: $350.00 Each 4th Place: $250.00 Each 5th/6th: $175.00 Each 7th/8th: $150.00 Each Consolation Champions: $150.00 Each Consolation Runner-Up: $125.00 Each Consolation 3rd Place: $100.00 Each Consolation 4th Place: $75.00 Each Consolation 5th/6th: $60.00 Each Consolation 7th/8th: $50.00 Each Consolation 9th-12th: $40.00 Each The 2019 UQ Finale event will be held on Saturday January 25th, 2020 at a location TBD. Details are also being worked out to help make the 2020 Ultimate Qualifier Series even better! More details on that to come in the following weeks.

Here it is! The registration form for the 2019 NDA Omaha Regional Dart Championships. Print the form, fill it out for each event you're interested in & then return with payment to your league coordinator prior to the deadline. All entries MUST be received by your league coordinator prior to end of business day on October 10th. *As of 4pm 7/29/19**Amounts based upon all matches being played, Actual amount may vary
This is one of the more anticipated weeks of the year ... division & schedule release week for the upcoming season. The first of the schedules are already beginning to trickle out and hopefully all Summer leagues schedules will be released by Thursday.
Please remember to practice good communication with your opponents and that it is much easier to find a sub then it is to reschedule a match. If you know in advance that you will be unable to play a match on a specific date ... please attempt to play that match ahead of schedule instead of waiting until the end of the season. While most things have remained the same this season as last, the only small change being made this season is that there will now be a cap added to the "A" Division leagues when utilizing subs. So if your partner is unable to play and you need to utilize a sub, you will now have to make sure your team is under the division cap and can't just bring in anyone regardless of how high their average is. This is being added to protect the league from a team bringing in someone with a much higher average for a match. It not only effects the team you're shooting against, but could also have a ripple effect on the standings for other teams. This shouldn't be a difficult change, as every other division seems to work within their caps just fine. Shoot well and have a great Summer session. As most of our players are aware from the promotions of the event, the National Dart Association (NDA) is bringing one of its large Regional events to Omaha November 15th-17th, 2019. We encourage all eligible players to participate in the events as they are all divisionalized based upon MPR & PPD averages and the payouts are historically pretty good as well. Events at the 2019 NDA Omaha Regionals are: Singles 01 Singles Cricket Doubles 01 Doubles Cricket Mixed Triples To gain eligibility, a player must have played a minimum of 48 league games with a sanctioned operator (Greater Omaha Leagues) ... with a minimum of 24 games in each Cricket and/or 01 in order to play in an event that features those games. Greater Omaha's Summer league session is going to be one of the final chances for players to gain eligibility prior to the registration dates, which haven't been released yet, but should be some time in late September or the very beginning of October. If you haven't played any leagues with 501 O/O games yet, make sure you sign up for one of those leagues for the Summer session. Those options are: Sunday 1pm Adult/Youth Doubles 01/CR, Monday 7:30pm Doubles 01/CR, Tuesday 7:30pm Mixed Trips 01/CR, Wednesday 7pm Open Singles 01/CR and Wednesday 7pm EQ Singles 01/CR. Signup Deadline for Greater Omaha Summer leagues is May 25th, 2019 and spots at several locations are full or filling quickly, so don't hesitate. Anyone in the Ultimate Qualifier chase, there is a multitude of opportunity to gain large amounts of points during the NDA Regional weekend, as each event earns you points if you register through and represent Greater Omaha Leagues. Also, if you are currently playing in the Greater Omaha Fall 2019 league at the time, you can earn yourself even more Ultimate Qualifier points; as well as Promo-Nation points. Current Player Eligibility for NDA Omaha Regionals 2019:  Greater Omaha Leagues' Summer session has begun to take signups!
