Welcome to the 2015 Colorado Open Dart Tournament at
the DoubleTree Hotel in beautiful Denver, Colorado!
We hope you’ll enjoy the competition and fun of the weekend, as
well as the beauty of Colorado.
I’d like to take this time to express my gratitude to all that helped
make the Colorado Open possible:
Thank you to all of the sponsors for their continued support of the
Colorado Open. The generosity of league teams, individuals and
businesses help make it possible to have this tournament.
Most of the businesses you’ll see advertised around the dart hall
and in the program are owned and operated by fellow dart
players, including many from our very own association. Please
support them as they have supported us.
Thank you to the RMDA Tournament Committee Members, RMDA
Board Members and the other kind dart players who have given
their time and effort to plan and run this tournament. Please, take
the time to thank the tournament staff during the weekend.
Thank you to you, the dart players, for attending and supporting
this tournament! You are the reason we are here!
We know you have choices as to which dart tournament you’ll
attend and we strive to make the Colorado Open a tournament
that you’ll keep on your calendar every year.
As we plan for future years, the RMDA Tournament Committee
welcomes comments and suggestions. We are always looking for
new ideas to improve and grow our tournament, so please don’t
hesitate to let us know!
On behalf of the RMDA Tournament Committee, and the membership
of the RMDA, thanks to all of you for being here! Throw fantastic darts
and have a blast this weekend!

The RMDA Youth Darts Program has Grown Up
The Rock Mountain Dart Association has one of the top Youth Dart Programs in the country,
and it’s thanks to the only Youth Director it’s ever had - Jimmie Jarrell. The program itself turns
17 this year, meaning next year “RMDA Youth Darts” will be older than any of its participants!
Jimmie has played over 50 consecutive seasons in the RMDA and is the captain of the Masters team Voodoo out of Hero’s Bar & Grill. His oldest son Bryan is on Voodoo, and was a big
reason Jimmie started up a youth dart program in 1998. Bryan was 14 back then, and his
younger brother Dillon was 7. Jimmie, with the help of Brenda Roush and Conn Plummer, got
the program off the ground and both his
kids started competing. That year Bryan
went to nationals and finished 4th, and the
program had its first success story.
In 1999 the RMDA incorporated the “Youth
Shoot” as the first event in each of its 4
annual $1,650 tournaments. In 2002, the
Colorado Open included the RMDA youth
event and it became the steppingstone to
nationals. Currently the RMDA runs youth
tournaments every 8 weeks through which
local kids earn the chance to play for a
spot in nationals. Every year the RMDA
sends 2 to 4 kids to represent Colorado on
the national stage--Last year Dillon Graham represented the RMDA and matched
Bryan’s top-4 finish 16 years later!
“We haven’t brought home a national title
yet,” Jimmie admits, “But I am extremely
proud of the top-8 and top-4 finishes we
have had. A national title is coming.I can’t
wait!”
Jimmie is also proud of the RMDA for fully
recognizing and supporting the need to
grow the game and insure its future. And of
course, it all boils down to the bars who host the events and the volunteer dart players who
donate their time and expertise to teach and mentor Colorado juniors. Jimmie guarantees
that “...without the local bar support and RMDA players’ involvement, the program doesn’t
exist.”
17 years later Jimmie is still the Youth Director, and has added Angie Lowman and Theresa
Shultz as Youth Coordinators. While Jimmie looks to thank everyone who supports the program and makes it possible, The RMDA wants to stop and thank Jimmie for volunteering his
time and talent for the better part of 2 decades to give Colorado kids a chance to share our
passion for the game and stage on which to reach their potential.

to comply with any of these Tournament Rules, will be subject to
disqualification from that event.
5. Gambling is neither permitted nor sanctioned by the ADO.
6. The ADO will in the course of Tournament Sanctioning, ensure
to the best of its ability, that the host/sponsor organization has the
funding and/or sponsorship necessary to support the advertised
cash prize structure for a darts event. The manner and matter of
tournament prize payments are the responsibility of the respective
host/sponsor organization and not that of the ADO.
7. The ADO assumes no responsibility for accident or injury on
the premises.
8. The ADO reserves the right to add to or amend the ADO
Tournament Rules at any time.
15. Opponents and chalkers ONLY are allowed inside the playing area.
16. Opposing players must stand at least 2 feet behind the
player at the hockey.
17. Should a player have any portion of his feet or shoes over the
hockey line during a turn, all darts so thrown will be counted as part
of his turn, but any score made by said darts will be invalid and not
counted. One warning by a tournament official will be considered
sufficient before invoking this rule.
18. A player wishing to throw a dart, or darts, from a point either
side of the hockey must keep his feet behind an imaginary straight
line extending from either side of the hockey.
PROCEDURAL
9. Decisions regarding the prize structure and event schedule,
the method of player registration, and the choice of the match
pairing system, are left at the discretion of local Tournament
Organizers.
10. Each player is entitled to (9) NINE practice darts at the
assigned matchboard prior to a match. No other practice darts
may be thrown during the match without the permission of the
chalker.
11. Tournament boards are reserved for assigned match pairings
only. Boards are not to be used for practice, unless so designated
by the Tournament Organizers.
12. Match pairings will be called 3 times only (minimum of 5
minutes between calls). Should a player/team fail to report to the
assigned board within the 15 minutes allotted time, a Forfeit will
be called. NOTE: Should a player/team be called to matches in
two concurrent events (i.e. a female in both Women’s only and
an Open event), that player/team must choose in which event
she/they wish to continue play. A Forfeit will be called, unless that
player/team can reach their assigned board within the 15 minutes.
13. Should a player’s equipment become damaged, or be
lost during the course of a turn, that player will be allowed up to
a maximum of 5 minutes in which to repair/replace the playing
equipment.
14. A maximum time limit of 5 minutes under exceptional circumstances, subject to the notification of the opponent and the
chalker, will be allowed in the instance of a player requiring to
leave the playing area during the course of matchplay.
TURN
19. A Turn consists of three darts, unless a Leg/Match is completed in a lesser amount.
20. All darts must be thrown by, and from, the hand. The player
is allowed a total of 3 minutes to complete their turn as timed by
a tournament official. No darts will be allowed to be thrown after
3 minutes.
21. Should a player ‘touch’ any dart that is in the dartboard
during a turn, that turn will be deemed to have been completed.
22. A dart bouncing off or falling out of the dartboard, will not
be rethrown.
STARTING AND FINISHING (ALL EVENTS)
23. All Matches will begin with a coin flip to determine who has
the option to throw 1st or 2nd at the Inner Bull. The player throwing
closest to the Inner Bull will throw first in the 1st Leg. The Loser of the
1st Leg has the option of throwing for the Inner Bull first in the 2nd
Leg. If the 3rd Leg is necessary, the Inner Bull will again be thrown,
with the loser of the original coin flip having the option of throwing
first.
24. The second thrower may acknowledge the first dart as an
Inner or Outer Bull and ask for that dart to be removed prior to his
throw. Should the first dart be removed without the request of the
2nd thrower, a rethrow will occur; with the 2nd thrower now having
the option of throwing first. The dart must remain the in the board in
16
order to count. Additional throws may be made, until the player’s
dart remains in the board. Should the 2nd thrower dislodge the
dart of the 1st, a rethrow will be made with the 2nd thrower now
throwing first. Rethrows shall be called if the chalker cannot decide
which dart is closest to the Inner Bull, or if both darts are anywhere in
the Inner Bull, or both darts are anywhere in the Outer Bull. The decision of the chalker is final. Should a rethrow be necessary, the darts
will be removed and the person who threw 2 nd will now throw 1st.
25. For the purpose of starting and finishing a Leg/Match, the
Inner Bull is considered a double 25.
ADDITIONAL ADO AMERICAN CRICKET RULES
The following rules shall apply for ADO Sanctioned Cricket
events, effective January 1, 1984.
44. Cricket is played using the numbers 20, 19, 18, 17, 16, 15 and
both the Inner and Outer Bull.
45. To close a number, the player/team must score three of that
number. The double and triple ring count as 2 or 3, respectively.
Closure can be accomplished with three singles, a single and a
double, or a triple.
46. Once a player/team closes a number, he/they may score
points on that number until the opponent also closes that number.
The double and triple count as 2 or 3 times the numerical values,
respectively. All numerical scores are added to the previous balance. Once both players/teams have scored three of a number, it
is ‘closed’, and no further scoring can be made on that number by
either player/team.
47. To close the bull, the Outer Bull counts as a single, and the
Inner Bull counts as a double.
48. Numbers can be ‘owned’ or ‘closed’ in any order desired by
the individual player/team. Calling your shot is not required.
49. It shall be the responsibility of the player to verify his score
before removing his darts from the board. The score remains as
written if one or more darts has been removed from the board. In
accordance with the inherent “strategy” involved in the Cricket
game, corrections in arithmetic must be made before the next
player throws. See #1.
50. Winning the game:
· The player/team that closes all the numbers first and has the
highest numerical score, will be declared the winner.
· If both sides are tied in points, or have no points, the first player/
team to close the specified numbers will be the winner.
· If a player/team closes the numbers first, and is behind in points,
he/they must continue to score on any number not closed until
either the point deficit is made up, or the opponent has closed all
the numbers.
DOUBLE/TEAM EVENTS
26. It is permissible for the Doubles/Team player finishing a Leg, to
throw for the Inner Bull and start the subsequent Leg. It is also permissible for one member of a Doubles or Team to throw for the Inner
Bull 1st, and have his partner or teammate shoot first in the leg.
27. It is permissible for a Double or Team to participate with
fewer than the required number of players, provided that the team
forfeits a turn(s) in each rotation, equal to the number of missing
players. The missing player(s) may NOT join a Leg in progress, but is
allowed to participate in a subsequent Leg(s) of that Match.
28. At the tournament director’s discretion, women may be
recycled in mixed doubles and triples events only.
29. No substitutes will be allowed after the first round of Doubles/
Team play.
SCORING
30. A scoreboard must be mounted within 4’ laterally from the
dartboard and at not more than a 45-degree angle from the dartboard. It must be clearly visible in front of the player at the hockey.
31. In all ADO sanctioned tournaments, you must have a chalker
if one is available. If one is not available, the player must leave the
darts in the board until the score is recorded.
32. The chalker will mark the scores made in the outer columns
of the scoreboard, and the totals remaining in the two middle
columns.
33. The chalker, if asked, may inform the thrower what he as
scored and/or what he has left. He MAY NOT inform the thrower
what he has left in terms of number combinations. It IS permissible
for a partner, teammate, or a spectator to advise the thrower during the course of a Match. See #1.
34. No dart may be touched by the thrower, another player, the
chalker, or spectator, prior to the decision of the chalker.
35. For a dart to score it must remain in the board 5 seconds after
the 3rd or final dart has been thrown by that player. The tip of the
dart point must be touching the bristle portion of the board.
36. A dart’s score shall be determined from the side of the wire
at which the point of the dart enters the wire segment.
37. Should a dart lodge directly between the connecting wires
on the dartboard, making it impossible to determine on which side
of the wire the dart resides, the score shall always be the higher
value of the two segments in question. This includes the outside
double ring for the game shot. Determination as to whether the
dart is directly between the wires will be made in accordance with
rules #34 and #36.
38. It is the responsibility of the player to verify his score before
removing his darts from the board. The score remains as written if
one or more darts has been removed.
39. In Doubles/Team events, no player may throw (during a Leg)
until each of his teammates has completed his turn. The FIRST player
throwing out of turn will receive a score of zero points for that round
and his Team will forfeit the turn.

Sanctioned by
ADDITIONAL ADO ‘01’ COMPETITION RULES
40. Errors in arithmetic stand as written, unless corrected prior to
the beginning of that player’s next turn. In case of Doubles/Team
matches, such errors must be rectified prior to the next turn of any
partner/player on that team.
41. A Leg/Match is concluded at such time as a player/team
hits the ‘double’ required to reduce their remaining score to zero,
unless otherwise stated by the local Tournament Organizers. All
darts thrown subsequently will not count for score.
42. The ‘BUST RULE’ will apply. If the player scores one less, equal,
or more points than needed to reach zero, he has “busted”. His
score reverts to the score required prior to the beginning of his turn.
43. Fast finishes such as 3 in a bed, 222, 111, Shanghai, etc., do
not apply.
