Venues will be supplied with copy of the rules, registration forms, bracket sheets, and a set of numbers for the draw. 04. The running of Take a Trip is the responsibility of the bar. However, if a board member is present at the draw, they should run it. They will be responsible for sign-up sheet, completed bracket, reporting results, payout, and monies. (Leave sheets & money in SRDA box) 05. There must be at least 8 players for a Take A Trip event. If there are fewer than 8 players, they will have the option to pay $2.00 and earn 1 point for attendance. 06. Registration will be cut off 15 minutes before posted tournament time. No phone reservations allowed. 07. If there is an odd number of players, one player will be left without a partner. After the entire 1st round, players that lost may have a chance to play again. Any that want to play again will be drawn. The winner must play $2.00 but no point awarded. The $2.00 goes toward the prize money. The orphan will receive a bye point. 08. Point standings will be posted in the participating venues every two weeks and on the SRDA website. www.srdadarts.org 09. As funds become available, “dart trips” will be chosen by the SRDA board members. There will be a cut-off date approximately 8 weeks prior to trip departure. 10. The participant in the trips must be a member in good standing of the SRDA at least 30 days prior to the cut-off date for their accumulated points to count for that trip. 11.

If membership fees are not paid, you may play as many draws as you like, but you will NOT accumulate points, nor will you be eligible for the Mystery Out or for a trip. A person may re-instate their points by paying missing and current session fees. A second option is to pay the current session fee only and have your points revert to zero. (This will be the member’s choice.) 13. Because of travel distances “dart trips” may be of different monetary value and may not be transferred to another party or redeemed for cash. 14. At the cut-off date, the top players in the point standings (minimum 2 or maximum 4, at board discretion) will be asked if they will be able to take a scheduled trip to a major dart tournament. If they cannot go, they must notify the caller as soon as possible, so further calls can be made. A member in good standing (fees paid) has the option of declining multiple trips without penalty. 15.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- FYI On February 16, 2010 a motion was passed to separate $5.00 from the Take a Trip fund for each draw. This money is to be given to a local charity or individual to be determined by the board at the end of year banquet in December.
Mystery Out
A person from the winning team who hits the mystery out, must be present when it is drawn, and must share it with their partner (must be SRDA member, see above/below) Each player (team) is responsible for writing down their team’s outs for the evening. At the conclusion of the draw, the director will draw a chip to see if there are any matching numbers. Only an active member is eligible to win the mystery out. If only one person is a member on a team, only half the pot will be awarded. If more than one team hits the mystery out number, the pot will be halved.
When there are multiple pots running, only the first pot of $800.00 will be drawn until the 2nd pot reaches $200.00. At that point, a chip will be drawn for the $800.00 and if it is not hit, a chip will be drawn for the 2nd pot. If the 2nd pot reaches $800.00, it will be cut off and a 3rd pot started. The first two pots will each have a chip pulled until the 3rd pot reaches $200.00. Three chips will then be drawn. This will be a continuous cycle until an out is hit. IF A POT IS HIT, THERE WILL BE NO OTHER DRAW THAT NIGHT.
