Summer Roster Forms can be found on the Downloads page. Please fill out completely and send in via text, email, or through our Contact Us page. A Division need-not submit a roster for this season. Rather contact the league via various sources to express interest. Dues will still be $25 per person regardless of division.
A MANDATORY captains meeting will be held on Tuesday, June 9th at Scoreboards in Waterbury. If the captain cannot make it, a representative from that team must attend in their place. An Informational DARTCONNECT tutorial will take place at this meeting, so all players looking to get more information on how to properly use that platform are welcome and encouraged to attend regardless of caption title.

Banquet:

Join us for our banquet on June 4th at TCB in North Haven.

Food will be served starting at 6 PM. Please note that drop-in signups will close at 7 PM, darts fly shortly after. Food & Drop-In is always FREE with CASH PAYOUTS to our winners.

We will also be distributing the Winter Season Awards and Captain's Summer Packets during the event. Don't miss out on this special evening!

NHDL Official Apparel will be available for purchase at the event as well as our 24/7 online store.

New Format:

Teams must consist of at least 4 players, featuring singles 501 and cricket, doubles matches, and an 801 quad game. This new structure enhances match play, and increases playing spots allowing for larger team rosters while making it easier for smaller teams to participate. Teams are not required to downsize; however, they have the option to mix things up if they wish.

A Division: Best of 3 - 20 points total, B & Super B: 2x each - 40 points total, C Division: 2x each - 32 points total

*Please note that C Division will not include Cricket singles.*

A Division Draft Pick:

Player signups will close on May 24. After this date, no additional players will be accepted. Once the signups are finalized, captains will receive a list of eligible players. Each captain will have the opportunity to rank their preferred picks in order of choice. Teams will then be drafted based on the captains’ selections. 

*A Division will follow the above outline for the New Format.*

Statistics Update:

We will not be using YourLeagueStats this season. Home Captains are required to email or text a clear picture of the scoresheet to the league, ensuring all scores, names, Allstars, and other relevant details are visible. This must be submitted by Noon Friday. No further action is required after submission. Our league Statistician will post Stats & Standings on THIS WEBSITE, providing a centralized location for tracking this season's progress. We encourage all Home & Away Captains to review the site for accuracy promptly.

We are using this summer as a test run for. Please note that the official NHDL Rule Book may contain some contradictory information during this period. We appreciate your patience as we provide everyone with the opportunity to test these rules. This approach allows us to gather valuable feedback before making any permanent updates to the Rule Book. If you have any questions, please reach out to us via text, email, or the Contact Us page.

Thank you for an amazing season!
