Time to mark our darting calendars for 2024. :-) Hope you are having great holiday seasons, and we look forward to seeing you all in 2024!
Happy Weekend everyone!! We're curious about possible interest in bringing back a casual, fun night of darts to the metro geared more towards beginners and those looking for social more than competitive darts. Kinda like the old Gold Division or Pub Fun Triples. Please click the link (either in the image, or it's also here at https://forms.gle/Yai5BuHUXWdtNNB97) to take the survey. Only 8 questions and lots of multiple choice so should take no time at all. Thanks in advance for your feedback!

Who wants to play in a long-format singles 501 league? We're thinking single in, double out, best of 9 legs.
Our friends at Number 12 Cider in Minneapolis have a fantastic space to throw steel-tip, and we think it's a great opportunity to add a format we know people are excited about to hone their game. Sunday afternoons, probably starting at 1pm.
More details to firm up once we get a sense of the responses, but please reply to this post if you're interested!

For Classic AA, it's a little murky telling all the standings as the season winds down, with several makeup matches to be played plus a few scores not in the system yet. What we do know is that The 3rd Dart has the title sorted out. The rest we'll have to wait and see! Shoot well everyone (and turn in your scores! LOL)!!
https://www.twincitydarts.com/fg/1_800840407.html
With one week left in Classic A, it looks as though Flight Risk has sewed up the title -- but not by much. And just behind them, an EPIC tussle in the standings lies ahead for 2nd-4th between Irish Rogues, Vagabonds, and Outlaws. What a finish this will be! Good luck everyone and HAVE FUN!

In Classic B we are coming down to the wire! Down 'n Out, The Wannabees, and Straight Arrows all within just a few points of one another for the top spots. Good luck to all the teams tonight, and shoot well!

We had so much fun at Dartmania 2023! Here’s a few pics from the weekend, and cannot wait to see everyone next year!
THANK YOU FOR DARTMANIA!!
This was the 20th ever hosting of the Dartmania Extravaganza -- a few years later than we planned (thanks a lot, COVID-19!), but hey ... we got to have it!
And where do I start with the thank you's? We had a great weekend of steel-tip darts, celebrating friendships new and old, relishing competition, having a great time, and there a lot of thank you's to share.
First of all, THANK YOU to the players who joined us! There's no tournament without you. Thank you to the locally-based TCDA members who played, those non-members from the local area, and also those of you who came from waaaay far away! We are so honored you spent time with us! And for those who held down the fort while you joined us, thank you to your spouses, significant others, family, friends, pet-sitters, and who knows what else I am forgetting for being those 'enablers' who let you join us. Those are some unsung heroes, for sure.
Then, thank you SO MUCH to the volunteers and the TCDA Tournament Committee Members for putting all the work in behind the scenes. It's a lot of work to put one of these on. I'll name names: Mike Anderson, Kirk & Sara McCamish, Greg Oldenkamp, Margo Ulrich and her two nieces, Jeff Hafner & Sue Belland, Jake Portinga, David Lawrence (thanks for the power drill especially!), and I'm probably leaving someone out -- we appreciate it ALL, and cannot do it without you.
We also have to thank our AMAZING SPONSORS! In no particular order, thanks to The Dog House Bar and Grill, Bodhi Care Products, Deadman Darts, Jason Lane, and Chris Weatherly. You all are so wonderful and kind to sponsor the TCDA and Dartmania, and we cannot thank you enough -- truly.
We also would like to thank the management and staff from Mermaid Entertainment Center. You all were great as always keeping us fed and happy, and thank you so much.
And that's it! We cannot wait to do it again next year with you all for Dartmania in 2024, but until then: THANK YOU!!!
Sincerely,
Nick Harris
TCDA President
