Congratulations to all players! Over $46,000 in payouts this weekend! We are doing all the finish work this week. It ran fairly smooth for the trial run of a new tournament software and a new venue (Shipyard). We were able to quickly and efficiently offset any interruptions to keep you folks moving. The addition of two new vendors (NexGen Vending Leagues and Bell Music) brought us new faces and lots of fun. We really enjoyed meeting the new players! The five vendors worked together well, and with the changes we implemented, overall we're happy with the results. 🙂 Can't wait til the next one - it WILL be bigger! So get started on your qualifying games (96 with J&S, Lorain Music and Vending Company, Ohio Vending League Systems, NexGen Vending or Bell Music) J&S Electronics was your host vendor this year, and we're happy to pass the torch to Ohio Vending League Systems as your host for next year! We'll be meeting soon to compare notes and work on more fun ways to make your event an even better time and start planning for next year! Thank you for supporting the Fall Dart Classic and have a great season! Special thanks to Chad Zander from Arachnid, who managed our initial setup to make sure our equipment followed our directions 😁and Isaiah Eichler from Shipyard, whose team went way beyond to accomodate our event! They said we are welcome back any time! On the flip side, although we had a few minor "reminders" about tailgating, we were EXTREMELY pleased at how well you folks respected the facility, especially the patio area. There was one (1) bottle we had to pick up, a few wayward bottles and cans in the parking lot 🤨 and a few cigarette butts on the ground (😒) but overall the inside of the venue was not as bad as we've seen it - and that means a LOT. We have LOTS of room to grow there! We appreciate you respecting the event and keeping it a great place to hold it. And our lovely bartenders and waitresses reported they were treated respectfully and well. Big Kudos to ALL who attended. We saw players who have been with us since it all started in 2019, and have played EVERY year since. It's like the cousins we never see but once a year 🤣 We 💖 you all and hope you have a great season! ---- The Fall Dart Classic Team
