HoCo Dart League Championship Planned

The high-stakes competition will be held on March 10.

From HoCo Dart League: The Howard County Dart Association will be hosting the 2nd Annual Maryland State Dart League Championship at Triple Nines Bar and Billiards.The event is scheduled from 10 am to 10 pm.

Since it’s peak of popularity in the 70’s and 80’s, dart leagues in Maryland have been carrying on a darting tradition that dates back to pubs throughout England in the late 1800’s, and was brought home to America by troops returning to the states after World War II. The Maryland Dart League Championship is a unique event that draws the best players from each dart league in the state of Maryland for a full day of high stakes competition. The top two teams receive a 100 percent payout of the entry fee, plus $500 added by Triple Nines Bar and Billiards.

Last year’s inaugural event was a huge success, with Charles County Dart Association taking home the trophy, and we are making it even bigger and better this year with more room, and more boards. Each team will bring their 5 best male players, and 3 best female players, and face off in a “Round Robin” format consisting of 4 Singles matches, 3 Doubles matches, and 2 Mixed Triples matches. All matches will be played “Chicago Style”, meaning 1 game of 501, 1 Game of Cricket, and 1 Cork Call game if needed.
