Some Recommendations
The Captain is responsible for
ensuring the board and lighting are
adequate for the game to be played.
The landlord, landlady or steward
should supply a new board at the
start of a season.
Chalker should check the score
before darts are removed. Chalk can
be used instead of an electronic
score board if preferred.
High checkout, player & chalker to
confirm to MC.
If you are a loser in a league
singles match it is good practice to
buy the winner a small drink.
