- It is likely that some players will miss a week, or more. It is the responsibility of each player to be sufficiently available to complete the league.
- It is the responsibility of the player to notify the organiser immediately if they can’t make it on any given week. Do not leave it till the last minute.
- Each week the report, results, stats and the league table will be published on the website and the report will be circulated via WhatsApp and Facebook.
- Each week the results and the league table will be sent to Alan Towe who arranges for them to be published on his website (alantowedarts.co.uk) and in the Birmingham Mail on a Wednesday.
- League position will be determined by points won then most wins, if tied on wins most draws. In the event of two or more players having identical records the head to head result(s) will be taken into consideration, if this fails to split two or more players then the prize money will be divided equally.
- A card will be run every week which has 40 selections available at 50 pence per go. This raises £20, £10 goes to the winner of the card, £5 will go to the highest finish of the night (must be greater than 99 and be unique on that night*) and £5 will go into the prize fund. If a second card is run £10 will go to the winner and £10 to the prize fund. *The highest finish can only be won by one person so if two people, for example, hit a 170 break, the money is not won and goes into the prize fund instead.
- A cash prize of £20 will be awarded to the scorer of the most 180's, divided equally if tied.
- A cash prize of £20 will be awarded for the best leg (least darts), divided equally if tied, please report all legs of 12 or fewer darts.

- At the end of the season there will be a play-off match, any player not winning any of the prizes at Rules 17, 18, 19 and 20 will be eligible to be drawn to play in the play-offs. The two players to take part will be drawn randomly. The winner of the play-off, to be played over 3 legs of 501, will earn their £20 entry fee back.
