Happy Halloween to all dart players! The board pictured to the left was found on the Goldieloo Woodworks website.
The first big tournament for New Jersey area darters in 2009 is the $26,500.00+ Rae Chesney English Dart Tournament in Philadelphia. The flyer recently appeared on the PhillyDarts website, and announces that the tournament will be held on January 9-11, 2009 at the familiar location (Raddison NE Philadelphia). I always enjoy this tournament as the prize money is good enough to bring in people from all over the U.S. It's nice to catch up with old friends. Needless to say I will be there although I am still looking for a doubles partner.
According to the ADO website Chris White, Ryan Barnett and Marilyn Popp won the U.S. Team Competition recently and will represent the U.S. in the World Cup next September in Charlotte, NC.. I have not met Ryan before, but I have played Chris and Marilyn several times. They will do a fine job. The rest of the team will be determined by 2008 point totals in the ADO system.
Practice has been going well for me lately. I feel relaxed and have been getting some good games in. The main thing lacking is time to go to more tournaments, but I know I have to be reasonable about such things with work and all. The next good one within reasonable driving distance is the Long Island Fall Classic. Happy Halloween to everyone, and until next time good darts.

Good luck in the Philadelphia tourney if you enter. I'm not finding lack of practice a problem at the moment, so don't let that put you off.
Thanks Tommo. As I am not in league right now I need to be diligent in practicing. I will likely go to a few Luck of the Draw tourneys to get in some competition soon.
