We'll show you one...
The ADL of Michigan is the local chapter of the American Darters Association. The ADA is big time, it has members across America, both amateur and professionals, and has major corporate sponsors. Members of the ADA play in the American Dart League, or ADL. The ADL is split into professional and amateur ranks, and those leagues are further split into divisions.
The ADL of Michigan is open to anyone who wants to play darts: steel tip or soft tip; and our league formats are user friendly for both experienced and casual players. In our leagues, you can find casual fun, or find your path to playing professionally. Call 517-646-7976 with any questions you might have that are not answered within these pages.
New Leagues forming now
Our Spring leagues are now forming for every and any night of the week. We have leagues where play is handicapped, leagues where play is smoke-free, and more traditional type leagues. Teams are 3 to 6 people depending on the league type. You need not have a team to join, joining and playing is a great way to meet new people and make new friends. We have people come from all over mid-Michigan and we hope to see you playing soon.
ADA is a membership league and yearly dues are $20 per calendar year, match play is under $7 per week per player, just so you know...
Pinto and Mustang Leagues
Next Pinto League play is set to start on Sunday February 15th. There are two leagues scheduled, one at 1PM and another at 7PM. Match play takes around 90 minutes each week.
Pinto and Mustang leagues are Neutralizer leagues where all the darting is handicapped, for all of us handicapped darters. Can't shoot bull? Well then, mark two bulls against your opponent so you only need to hit one. That's right, the good players give you a head start and that is the way bad players like me like it. So forget the malls or the honey-do lists and come out Sundays and play a bit, or come out on Tuesday nights and mark your handicap with an adult beverage or two. While the government might limit your legal beverage intake, the ADL places no such limit on the fun you can have tossing sharp steel darts at a pile of pig hairs.
Moyle and Palomino Leagues
The Moyle and Palomino leagues are Open Express leagues where all the darting is fast and frightenly good. Can't shoot bull? Well then, you will find a challenge in this league. That's right, the good players are the rule in this league, so bringing your A or B game is a good idea for having a good time. This is not to say that the casual player won't have fun in these leagues, it just means winning won't be so easy.
Player of the Week
Each player of the week is awarded a prize package. The prize package is comprised of items from our sponsors and will be forwarded to you via your Division Representative.
