With more organizers in Alberta using DartConnect for their events, Darts Alberta has restructured our Round Robin sheets (up to 10 players), 4-, 8-, 16-, 32- and 64-player knockout sheets and corresponding automated seeding to mirror the DartConnect system.  If using DartConnect and you are still interested in keeping a paper backup, please use these new DartConnect compatible drawsheets and electronic seeding. 

Darts Alberta would like to recognize Bill Hatter for his many years of service on the Darts Alberta Board of Directors. Bill has chosen to resign from his position as Policy Advisor. We wish Bill all the best on his retirement from darts administration. 

All zone results are in and those guaranteed to participate in the 2025 Provincial Championship have now been published. Please ensure that you review all of the pertinent information and links listed below as well as the tournament poster and Men's and Women's Eligibility Lists. Hotel information is available on the poster.

A total of 47 women are eligible to participate and all guaranteed a spot.

A total of 128 men participated in zones and 80 are guaranteed a spot at the provincials.

The lists of eligible participants show those guaranteed a spot. For those listed as PENDING, eligibility is dependent on the number of guaranteed players that show up to participate. It is important to note that some players compete in the Zone playoffs and although they may have a guaranteed spot, they often choose not to travel to the provincials. This opens up additional spots for other participants listed as pending and for any individuals wishing to buy into the event that didn’t compete in zones.

Since Darts Alberta went from 64 spots to 80 spots for the men’s event, we have never reached the maximum, so if you are interested in participating and listed as pending, it is very likely that you would be able to participate.

All details regarding the election process are contained within Policy 030. This policy outlines the only exceptions for when nominations will be taken from the floor as well as the timelines of when members must comply with the Volunteer Screening Policy.

Further details about the Darts Alberta Volunteer Screening Process are contained in Policy 022.

As more coaches are being trained, a new process was implemented in 2016 and those processes were put into a new Alberta Policy 031.

Darts Alberta Coaches must have successfully completed the NDFC Level 1 Coaching course (online) and a minimum of the NCCP Make Ethical Decisions module. Consideration may be given to someone that is already in the process of completing the on-line course or already registered for the MED course, depending on their other qualifications and experience and the qualifications of other candidates. But it is important to note that if there are a sufficient number of candidates, those without the necessary qualificiations may not be considered. 

Every applicant must complete the Darts Alberta Volunteer Application and submit this to the Darts Alberta Administrator. The deadline has been extended to January 15, 2025.

Each successful applicant must comply with the screening criteria as outlined in Darts Alberta Policy 022.

Each applicant must be available, preferably in person, for the interview process that will be held mid to late January. Further details will be provided if selected for an interview. 

Note that when completing the application for coaches, the options are listed under “Appointed Positions”. If interested in both Youth and Adult Coach Positions, please click on your preferred choice in the drop down menu and make a note of your second choice in the Comments Section.

Should a coach have any questions regarding training, certification or the selection process, please contact administrator@dartsalberta.com for more details.

As the busy tournament season is about to start, Darts Alberta would like to remind participants that if incidents occur, please go immediately to the control desk and report them … instead of having matters escalate out of control. 

Disciplinary proceedings are quite expense and not a good use of Darts Alberta funds. The Board is putting new processes in place regarding our disciplinary policy.

• Asking for incident reports from our tournament organizers
• New requirement in the process being added that if an issue was not reported to the control desk for the organizers to handle, the complaint will be deemed invalid
• Ranked Tournament Director Responsibilities and Guidelines document being created to help organizers understand what their responsibilities are and how to manage issues and conflicts when they occur

Congratulations goes out to Caidynce Rever, Kylie Chapman and Nathan Osmond for achieving 3 of the #1 ranked positions on the year end NDFC youth ranking list. 

Special recognition also goes out to Saylee Blois, who was actually tied in points with Caidynce, but achieved the #2 spot. Caidynce received the #1 spot for achieving a higher position in the 2024 Junior Female Singles National Championship.

Special recognition also goes out to Jaxson Danis, who also achieved the #2 position. Jaxson was the leader in the Junior Male category for most of the season, until Ben Goddard from Western Ontario snuck up and narrowly surpassed Jaxson with his win at the 2024 Find-A-Part this past weekend. 

A special thanks to all of you that organize these youth ranked events in Alberta.
