Play
Business Opportunities you have with the ADL of Michigan.
We offer you the means to drive time controlled traffic into your business via dart game play. We are a franchisee of the American Darters Association, having nearly one million members and sponsored by Budweiser and Coca Cola. We run dart leagues from Muskegon to Benton Harbor and from Temperance to Saginaw. We partner with you to gain players and set leagues times for your times. Darting is a great way to put cars in your parking lot, have a crowd of people in your establishment having fun, and a means to keep the till ringing in cash flow. Not many places these days will net you nearly a ten-fold return on your investment in only eight weeks. That is a mean number granted us by the ADA, your average will vary of course, but you would be hard placed to find an investment that earns you a fraction of that amount.
How it works
You partner with the ADL of Michigan to recruit players for your establishment and pay a small per team sponsorship fee for each league session. (The actual amount varies depending on the league length) The ADL of Michigan sets of a schedule of league matches, provides management and support for the league – including all paperwork and online scores and standings. The bar owner allows us some wall space for promotional banners and to post our results. The bar owner also holds the league folder behind the bar and reserves playing space for the dart teams, including table space near the boards. In some locales we can arrange for Budweiser promotional discounts for dart league nights.
Dart players pay a $20 American Darters Association yearly membership fee, and pay a weekly per team fee for each week of play. In our leagues, the top four dart teams enter two weeks of playoffs to determine the league winner. Teams are seeded by league points achieved and the top two teams play at home (in-house leagues are all at home). The championship match is held at the home of the highest seeded team.
We try to make the championship match an event that all league players would be interested in attending. For our part, we present the championship trophy, the per-point team earnings, and all the achievement pins, after the championship match. For your part we ask that you reserve any area and provide some complementary snack foods on the tables for the players, or some sort of championship day special that all patrons can enjoy.
The Express Leagues only need 12 players to get started. For more information on our leagues, see: Leagues.
