Welcome to the 2009 Colorado Open Dart Tournament in beautiful Denver,
Colorado!
Whether this is a return visit or your first time at our Colorado Open, we
appreciate your support and hope you thoroughly enjoy the competition this
weekend as well as the amenities here at the Double Tree Hotel.
Congratulations to all of those participating in the 2009 ADO U.S. Team National Finals. The Rocky Mountain Dart Association is very proud and excited to again host this National Finals event in conjunction with the Colorado
Open and hope to do so many more times in the future.
As most know, it is an enormous endeavor to put on an enjoyable dart tournament. It just could not happen without a great deal of help and so I’d like
to take the time to express my gratitude. Thank you to all of the sponsors
of this year’s Colorado Open. The financial contributions of the businesses
you’ll see listed in this program make it possible to afford this tournament.
Your support of these businesses is greatly appreciated. I also owe a huge
thank you to the Tournament Committee members, RMDA Board Members
and the other kind dart players for their work and time in putting together
and help in running this tournament.
I’d also like to note that we’ve already begun plans for next year’s Colorado
Open. The RMDA is fortunate enough to be awarded the opportunity to
host the 2010 U.S. Team National Finals on October 8, 2010! The Colorado Open is also moving to a new venue in 2010 – The Red Lion Hotel just
down the street. More information will be available in the coming months,
but for now please reserve the dates of October 8th through 10th on your
calendar and come see us for the 2010 Colorado Open!
The Tournament Committee is always looking for new ideas to improve our
tournament. If you have questions, comments or suggestions about the
Colorado Open, please let me know!
Thanks to all of you for being here – have a wonderful time this weekend
and throw great darts!

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.
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.
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.
Darts & Parts
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 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.

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

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.
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.
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/
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
13
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.
55. The inner narrow band will score ‘Triple’ the segment number and the
outer narrow band will score ‘Double’ the segment number.
56. The outer center ring (Outer Bull) is scored at ‘25’ and the inner center
ring (Inner Bull) is scored at ‘50’.
57. The minimum throwing distance is 7’91⁄4”. The board height is 5’8”
