    • The provisional start date for the 2010/11 Hannon’s Hotel Roscommon County Darts League is Friday the 15th of October.

    • There will be a maximum of 12 players per panel, all of whom must be named and have paid the players fee before the draw is made. No player can join a team after the league has started. Fixtures, team lists and rules will be available for all teams. The league website www.rosdarts.com will be used for this purpose. Teams should print off the information if required.

    • Games will be played on Friday nights, starting at 10pm sharp. Fixtures will be distributed to all teams. Any game not played, should be played by the following Friday, to avoid a backlog of fixtures.

    • Game dartboards must be in playable condition throughout the league at correct height.

    • An oche must be in place on game nights and be correctly fixed in place and measured correctly.

    • Any singles match which is not played (named player not present, insufficient players etc) will result in that singles match being forfeited with a 3-0 score.

    • There should be an option of a 10 minute break after game four, to allow players in the last three matches some warm up time. Teams should agree this prior to match starting.

    • Team captains will be required to maintain the scores on the night, so that points and leg counts should be 100% accurate at the end of the League. At the end of each night both Captains will sign the score sheet making sure all details are accurate. Score sheets must be kept in good and readable condition.

    • Scores and reports should be forwarded to the PRO (Martin Fleming), before Sunday evening, so results and reports can appear in the local papers. The league website www.rosdarts.com will be updated when this information is received.

    • The League winner will be decided on points scored.

    • Should any number of teams be tied on points at the end of the League stages, positions will then be decided on legs scored.

    • In the unlikely event teams are level on points and legs, a play off will take place to decide who advances. The play off shall take place at a neutral venue decided by a coin toss between team captains. The winning captain has the choice of venue, which must be from within the League.

    • The top four in the league will play off for the Cup competition.

    • Teams in positions 5-8 will play off for the Shield competition.
