The A.B.D.A. is for league shooters from leagues that keep individual averages. Once a shooter participates in an A.B.D.A. tournament they automatically become a member. There are

NO MEMBERSHIP FEES!

Members Qualify For DISCOUNTS From VIP Darts &

"Thee Olde Dart Shoppe"
The A.B.D.A.'s Official Supplier of Darts and Boards!



The Qualifier Tournaments are in place so that a league can host a local tournament for the players that really aren't interested in traveling too much and also to financially benefit the league and/or establishment that hosts the event. It also benefits the local teams that QUALIFY. The top 25% of the field gets a SEEDED PLACEMENT in the draw & PAID ENTRY into the Main Event in Emmaus. ALL OTHER TEAMS (including teams that may NOT HAVE QUALIFIED LOCALLY) are still welcomed and encouraged to enter their team in the Main Event in Emmaus (providing there is room in the draw) and accept the usual luck-of-the-draw placement. We have opened up the draw again this year so we can accommodate more teams and continue to pay out decent prize money to 4 different ability level divisions!

Attention All Shooters!

We have now firmly established an association for American Darts.  It is named the American Baseball Dart Association (A.B.D.A.).  This is a national dart association that is broken into classified divisions for competitive tournaments.  Each region may host a regional qualifier tournament, with the top teams going on to a national title championship tournament.

If you are interested in participating in A.B.D.A. events,
