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.

Instructions for H.D.A. Voice Mail via FAX

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.

1996- CITY SINGLES CHAMPIONSHIP QUALIFIER

Michael Silvestain and Judy Blizard, the 1995 City Singles Champions, were challenged by the eleven men and eleven women who qualified during 1996 for the City Singles playoff which was held on October 19th, 1996 at Big Al's in Southwest Houston.

Playing in the Mens event were: Daryl Montgomery 10 points, Michael Silvestian 10 points, Gary Jones 9 points, Alan Laas 7 points, Wayne Bush 6 points, Scott Munroe 6 points, Dong Woo 5 points, Don Lamb 4 points, Karl Kuenning 3 points, Keith Higgins 3 points, Tom Harlan 2 points, and KC Cleveland 1 point

The Houston Darts Association 1996 City Singles Champions are Alma Crump and Daryl Montgomery.

1996 - ADO ALL STARS QUALIFIER

Winners from the different playoffs were Rick Marshall, Doyle Williams, Daryl Montgomery, Roger Pankau, Brenda Gandy and Cathy Allison. All six winners went on the Regional competition that was held in Houston, however, no Houston players placed into the East-West challenge that was held in Las Vegas at the North American Open in August.

Brenda Gandy and Roger Pankau were the Houston Darts Association Qualifiers in 1996 and went on to the Area finals in Ft. Worth. Roger Pankau continued on to the National Finals in Council Bluffs, Iowa but was unable to make the final team that went on to Australia.

TEXAS STATE TEAM CHAMPIONSHIP QUALIFIER

This event has now passed, and was a great success. The Results for the 1995 1st Annual Playoff are available online. The Results for the 1996 2nd Annual Playoff are not available as yet, but we hope to have them soon.

The Houston Darts Association was not able to field any team for this competition in 1996. Apparently other associations had the same problem because the ADO has now cancelled the event.
