I personally want to congratulate Mike Dobish for winning the first season of the 501 league. Great Job!!!

Mike overpowered most of his competiton. Mike shot very consistant darts and won easily most Thursdays.

Mike hit sub 20 dart 501 games on a regular basis. His best of 14 darts (hit multiple times) was a season best. Phil Taylor averages 102 in tournaments. 14 dart 501 is a 107 average (pretty awesome).

I invite all of you looking at this post to come and try this league. This isn't as easy as you think. The possibilty of playing 19 games of 501 in one night is very tiring. If you think you can hit your doubles on a regular basis, bring it!

This has been quite fun. I wish I could have performed better,but who doesn't. I know going into Wednesday league night, I have the upper hand in 501.

If you see Mike, congratulate him, he earned First Place!!

I also want to thank Chris Baus, Tony Neal, Ian Miller, Jason (Rockstar) Nelson, Tom Somolis, Dan Boyce. You all have been real cool. This was fun for Thursday. I look forward to many of the top area darters to join soon.

Congratulations are definitely in order. It's been very competitive, and each week has shown something that has made me add something to my spreadsheet. I'll do this when the season's over, too, but thanks to Chris Baus, Craig Day, Mike Dobish, Ian Miller, Tony Neal, Rockstar, and Tom Samolis for coming out each week, giving your best efforts, and making Season 1 a success.

Also, thanks to the people who have come out to watch, too. It's one thing to be in a match when everyone who finished early is watching you play, but when you turn around and you've got several others watching you, it's pretty cool.

I'm still taking names of players who want to participate in the Fall Season. Please let me know at dan.j.boyce@us.abb.com

Just for curiosity, who's in so far? I am by the way.

I'm in. We really need to start hammering the details out for the fall. The season will be upon us in no time.

I agree, Craig. Are you going to be at the blind draw? I'm not sure if I'll make it yet. Depends on how the job goes Saturday.

So far I have:

Dan Boyce
Craig Day
Mike Dobish
Craig Lemponen
Ian Miller
Tony Neal
Tom Samolis
Jason Griffin (said he was in on Thursday)
Tim Pittsenbarger
Chris Baus
John Polz

To all, please let me know.

No, I'm not going. I have a party I'm going to at 5.

Dannyboy, I'm adding names to your list as I am told they want to play. Hope that's ok with you. I'm looking forward to the fall league. I hope more people decide to come out. It has really been a great time.

The more the merrier! I've been kicking around a few ideas. We can talk about it this week.

Danny i'm in, when are you planning on starting?

Same week as Fall League.

I'm out if Timmy's playing. ;)

I'm with Mike. I'm not playing if he's playing. I might as well give him my money personally.

I'll donate, I could use the write-off.

I really have those two fooled.

Im really looking forward to playing, it sounds like you guys had some fun. What kind of handicap do you guys get from Dobish since he won? I wont need one, i'll just bring Tiff along to bother him.

We're all Handicapped enough. No further help needed. I'm hoping for 3 more players. Everyone try to find more players!

Here is the current list:

Dan Boyce
Craig Day
Mike Dobish
Craig Lemponen
Ian Miller
Tony Neal
Tom Samolis
Jason Griffin
Tim Pittsenbarger
Chris Baus
John Polz
Mark Ventresca
Eugene Ciasulo (probable)

I'm looking for 1, maybe 2 more players, depending on Eugene.
