Good luck to everyone playing on a team for your division finals tonight.
Remember that this season the finals will be hosted by the team that is ranked higher in the season standings table for your division. In other words, home pub advantage is carried through the finals. WE WILL NOT HOLD ALL THE FINALS AT ONE LOCATION THIS SEASON.
To give people an advanced heads up, we will be holding the next awards ceremony on Saturday, June 9th. Location and exact time TBD, but we’ll probably stick with the afternoon time slot.
Stay tuned for more specifics and lists of all the award winners.
Join the Pada and other dart players out in Forest Grove for this exciting and unique shoot. This will be a blind draw tournament, but only open to females!
May 12th
2pm signups (until 2:45)
3pm start time
Entry $5
Pada add $5
Community add $5
Listed payout = $320
I hope people can make it out to enjoy the event!
Hey Everyone,
Below are links to the playoff brackets, but first a few important notes on standings/rankings.
In B Division, the ranking table had been in error. Not the sure of the original error or conflict on League Republic, but it has been corrected to reflect the way we handle tie-breakers (Wins, head-to-head, points for).
In A division, either I made an error, or League Republic handled the rankings in an interesting way when filling the brackets. All of the first round matchups were setup correctly, and teams played the correct teams at the correct venues, but it was not set up in a way that would appropriately progress the playoff bracket. It has been fixed manually so that the two top teams would play in the finals, as it should have been originally. Please make note of it if it changed for you.
Here are those links you were promised!
Contact me at isaac@portlandareadarts.com with any questions.
Just a quick reminder that the playoffs for the singles championships for each division will be held next Saturday, May 12th.
Locations and everything should be set and posted this weekend!
A few last minute reminders for everyone regarding the Oregon Open.
Rooms may be reserved at the Ramada. The price is $48 per night for a single or double occupancy room. To reserve a room, call the Ramada at 503-255-6511 and make sure to mention you’re with the dart tournament.
There will be a buffet offered Saturday and Sunday morning that will cost $5 per person. This will be an individual choice, and is NOT included in the room rate.
An important reminder regarding alcohol: We are very lucky to have a tournament at a hotel for a number of reasons. One main reason is that people are able to drink responsibly in their rooms. It is important to the PADA that we respect the rules of our host and the legal regulations they need to follow.
The tournament hall is really a giant bar (as they serve beer and alcohol) and has the same rules. Just as you wouldn’t bring outside drinks into a bar, we are prohibited from bringing outside food and beverages into the tournament hall, bar or restaurant.
Please be respectful to our hosts and follow their rules.
We are all looking forward to a fun, safe and exciting tournament!
Just some reminders for folks that the 43rd Annual Oregon Open is right around the corner!
Please visit the main Oregon Open page here.
And don’t forget to get those shirt orders in! Here is a link to the post about shirt orders.
And don’t forget about the post regarding volunteering, sponsoring dart boards and more at the Open!
I wanted to inform people that there will be a blind draw next month at the Bear Paw Inn.
Saturday, April 7th
3 PM signups
4 PM start (SHARP!)
$5 entry
$5 add by bar per entry
There should also be a special bbq food menu with special prices!
Another key ingredient to the success of the Oregon Open is the participation of our member players and out-of-town friends in helping make it an enjoyable event for everyone.
Dart board sponsors: For the past few years, everyone of our roughly 40 boards has been sponsored each year. That means that all of the boards we buy for the tournament have been bought by a player, team or sponsor bar. They get their name or logo displayed next to the board, get a great board for a great price, and maybe get to take home a board with some killer tournament mojo to practice on. 
It is worth noting that the reason this has been increased from $50 in previous years to $55 is that we’ve switched from the Nodor Supawire boards to the Supamatch boards. These are the boards with the thinner wires, no staples and are arguably a better deal for your money for just $5 more.
Raffle Items: We will continue to try to have a ton of items to raffle off. Some will be small, fun items and others might be more major prizes. If you have an item to donate to the raffle, or want to help gathering items, spreading the word or helping run the raffle at the event, please let us know!
Volunteer your time: One of the ultimate ways to help this event is to literally help out with the event. There is no shortage of ways to help us during the setup, tear down or marathon experience of running the tournament. We can use people to staff the tournament/signups/raffle tables. We will try to be implementing flight managers or people to run each “lane” of dart boards at the tournament.
There are a a lot of ways people can help us, and everyone else, make this a great tournament and one of our best Oregon Opens yet!
If you’d like to be involved in any way, please contact Jason Pitzer (jason@portlandareadarts.com) or Isaac Rochester (isaac@portlandareadarts.com).
