FALL 2007
(2-19-08) SB Players fair well at Queen Mary
Although the participation from Santa
Barbara players was much smaller at this years Queen Mary there were
some good results. Unfortunately only Gary Bixler and myself (Phil
O'Neill) made the trip down this year. Bill Neal and Randy made the trip
from Ventura. As usual, the tournament was great and we all heard enough
bagpipes to last us another year!
(2-10-08) SB ALL STARS WIN AGAIN Santa Barbara was once again victorious in the bi annual All Star event against Ventura yesterday. The last time we met was the first time ever that the match ended up going all the way down to the team 2001 game to decide who was going to keep the trophy. This time looked like it may be the same! Hats off to Ed Farr and Kevin Kennedy for playing well all day long to help in making sure Santa Barbara won our match. I can say that I played probably my very worst and I think some of the others on our team were struggling as well. I was actually shocked we somehow pulled it off yesterday! But as usual, the Ventura team played very well and all of the guys were gracious in the loss. Next time hopefully we all bring our game and put it away much earlier! A special thank you to Linda of the James Joyce for keeping our pints flowing. Below is a picture of our winning team
Santa Barbara All Stars (L to R) - Phil O'Neill, Ed Farr, Shane Hoefer, Andy Clare, Kevin Kennedy, Isaac Oltmans, John Craig, Gary Bixler, Al Benevente, Boston Mark) not pictured Armando Adlawan (2-5-08) New Thursday Night Blind Draws We have a new night of Blind Draw Doubles now at Alisal Cellars in Solvang. This will also be a new venue for darts this next season. The Alisal Cellars have greeted us with open arms and are excited about building the place as the new dart venue in the valley. They have a "Mug Club" available as well which is a GREAT deal if you will be frequenting the place often. Lots of great beers on tap and lots of great wine. Temporarily we have the stand ups set up but they plan on setting up an entire pool and dart room in the coming months. It's a really cool hang out so stop in and have a beer and throw some darts! Click HERE for the flier. Hope to see lots of you there!
(1-29-08) Terribles Repeat Cup Win The Terribles repeated by winning The Cup for a second season in a row. It was not a blow out however as the Dubliners hung on tight to make it very close. The Terribles jumped out to a 5-1 lead but then fell apart for the next few games letting them back into the match. Al and Kevin ended up locking up the match with the win in the doubles 501 to secure the "new" Cup. Thanks to David Moitis for making up the new base for the trophy. Andy will be making up the name plates and we will be getting a larger CUP to go on top!
(Left to right - Phil O'Neill, Isaac Oltmans, Kevin Kennedy, Al Benevente) (1-4-08) HAPPY NEW YEAR! I hope everyone had a great holiday and you all enjoyed a fun season of darts. We now will begin the playoffs for "The Cup" which in actuality is non existent!! We need to have a new Cup made so we will try and work on that in the coming weeks. We may actually have something for the winning team to hold instead of last years athletic supporter! The schedule for the playoffs is posted on the final Bull but I will also post it here. This was done totally randomly so some of you teams that did not win 1st or second may have a very good chance to win the Cup!! The 1st and 2nd place teams play each other the 2nd week so one of them will be knocked out! Week #1 - January 8th
Match #1 = Rocket Scientists vs.
Dickweeds @ James Joyce Week #2 - January 15th
Match #3 = Winner #1 vs. Mavericks @
James Joyce #1 Week #3 - Januasry 22nd
Winner #3 vs. Winner #6 @ James Joyce #1 FINALS JANUARY 29th at James Joyce
(12-1-07) Only 3 weeks left Well this short season is flying by and we only have 3 weeks left of regular season play. We will be having a playoff for the Cup but that will not begin until after the New Year due to Holidays. That will give some teams a chance to revamp their teams for the next season which will begin at the beginning of February. We will be having the All Star shoot against Ventura again on or around the end of January. The top 10 MVP points getters will be invited to shoot and this time the event will be on our home court! So time to point whore!!! (kidding). But be ready for a phone call or e-mail asking you to play if you are one of the top shooters. There is also talk of an invite only shoot in Ventura for top players for some big money. More on that when it becomes available. Hope you all had a great Thanksgiving. Let's make these last few nights of darts a blast! If I have not gotten your team photo done yet, plan on seeing me this Tuesday. I will have camera in hand and I will be down town.
(11-15-07) HAPPY THANKSGIVING Hope everyone enjoys their Thanksgiving week. If you are so inclined, the San Diego Open is this weekend. Go to TOURNEYS to see the flyer. I'll be there so I hope to see some of you. Otherwise, keep on practicing!
(11-3-07) Thanksgiving week we will have a BYE! Oops! I kinds screwed up when I made the schedule this season in that I did not include a BYE week for everyone for the week of Thanksgiving. Usually we always have a BYE to allow people that need to travel that week to not miss a match or cause extra delayed matches. So as to not make the whole schedule extra confusing we will just push the matches scheduled for Nov 20th to the new final night of league Dec 18th! Please see the revised schedule. Sorry for any confusion but hopefully this helps those who will need to travel that week.
(11-2-07) PLEASE PAY DUES
Team dues were due the first night of
league. If your team has not paid them yet, please get them to Andy
Clare as soon as possible. $140 per team.
(10-18-07) 1 Night Down We're off to the races! League finally commenced this past Tuesday and it seems things went smoothly with all of the teams making it to their respective venues. And I even received all of the scoresheets!! Next week we have our first match happening at the Garage Team location. Make sure if your team is playing there that you get the directions to their place off this website. The decision was made by the board that for this season since we have 3 new teams that we are going to keep it as one division. If at the end of this season we want to put to vote to divide the league into 2 divisions we can address it then.
ADO Cricket shoot this Sunday!!! Come on
down for some practice
ADO CRICKET QUALIFIER Come on down!
10-13-07 LEAGUE FINALLY STARTING! We thought we would be starting 2 weeks ago but we really wanted to try and get some new teams in. I'm happy to report we have 10 teams again this season (2 more than last season) and we will begin play next Tuesday the 16th. The schedule has been posted on the website. Some things to note. First off we have a new team called the Garage Team. The reason they are called the Garage Team??? Well they will be playing out of their garage! We had a team a number of years ago that did this and most people really enjoyed it. Hopefully their set up everyone enjoys. You will be able to bring your beverage of choice saving you lots of $$$. They have a fridge in the garage and 2 boards. I have posted a link to a map to get to their house. They are located right at the bottom of Hwy 154 here in SB. We also have a new team playing out of Dargan's again. Dargan's has opted to allow us back in so hopefully this will continue for future seasons to allow us to add even more teams. That's about it for now. Your packages will be at the Pubs for you on Tuesday night. Please remember to bring a check for $140 on the first night of play if you are playing downtown. Andy will be playing at the Joyce so make sure to stop by and drop off your teams check. Have a fun short season! Stay tuned for more info...
