Houston Darts Association -
Founded in 1974, this ADO affiliated
Darts associaton has a current paid membership of approximately 800
members. League play is held 3 nights weekly, with 4 to 6 persons per
team, and a mixed play format of '01 & cricket games, A through C
divisions.
PURPOSE
The HDA has as its stated purpose "To promote the Sport of Darts".
To fulfill this ideal, the HDA organizes three nights of league play
weekly, and two major darts tournaments each year.
LEAGUE PLAY
League play is held on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday nights.
Each night plays nine games, 4 games of 501 Singles, 2 games of 501
Doubles, 2 games of Cricket Doubles, and 1 game of 3 man 601.
Additionally, the "A" division plays 4 games of Cricket Singles. A
team can be made up of any combination on sexes--there are no
requirements on the number of men OR women that must be on the team.
Divisions on each night vary from season to season with "A", "A-",
"B+", "B", "B-" and "C", however, each of these divisions are not of
the same caliber on each night. Tuesday nights generally has the most
highly rated players. The approx. 40 bars that the league plays out
of are mostly in the southwest section of the city. Wednesday nights
boast a very strong "Urban" division that keep the players located
inside the 610 loop. New on Thursday nights is the Southeast division
that comes no closer to the city than Hobby Airport and goes East as
far as Webster, Pasadena, Kemah and San Leon.

Not all divisions will be active at all times, the make-up of a
division depends on the amount of teams that were turned in at the
start of the season. If there are no teams in a division, there will
be a message in the specific mail box for that division stating that
that division is inactive for the season.
Instructions for H.D.A.
Voice Mail via FAX
Insert your paper into the FAX machine, switch the FAX to the speaker or monitor mode, and listen for the dial tone. Dial
the HDA information number (713)781-0614, and wait for the system to
answer. After the wlcome, dial 222 (or 222# depending
on your machine), and listen for the tone that signifies that the two
machines have recognized each other and are ready to transmit the
information. (Some machines will start transmitting the information
automatically, others need to have the start buttoned pushed in order
to transmit.)
To head off any complaints from any sourcesabout meeting the
cancellationdate to determine if the score sheet was sent within the
48 hour time limit, the HDA FAX software automatically stamps
the date and time that the FAX was received on the document.This is
imprinted on the Fax upon it's printing and is a FCC regulation
for FaX software which cannot be overridden upon penalty of jail time
and/or fines.
The system at the HDA office will be set to automatically print
the incoming faxes so that when the statitician receives them, he can
start imputting them into the database, saving time for all parties
conserned.
The 13 member board of directors meet every other Monday.
