Players must compete in at least three rounds to be eligible to compete in the Grand Finals.

Please note that there is a NEW RULE for the 2010 Championships.

Players may not compete in Rounds Five and Six if they are not eligible to qualify for the Grand Finals, i.e. a player may not compete in Round Five if he/she has not competed in at least one previous round and a player may not compete in Round Six if he/she has not competed in at least two previous rounds.

that rule change is a good idea,

Dartgod · 24-08-2009 09:03PM

It is a fair rule for the players that turn up to support all rounds of the Championship.

Some players were competing in the last two rounds just for the prize money and it would have been very unfair if they deprived somebody of a place in the Grand Finals.

DG, have you ever looked into running a round in the Galway/Mayo area (even Sligo) it'd probably attract more player from this end of the country to travel to the others if there was one round up this end of the world and they only had to travel to 2 others.

Soory lads. Pardon my ignorance but how does this work. How would I go about entering.

dionsiseire · 25-08-2009 12:22PM

www.dartsinireland.com normally has the forms to print off

you send your entry with a €30 cheque or postal order with the form for each championship as it comes up

You arrive at the venue on the day, play your matches and the further you get the more ranking points you'll pick up with 12 for the winner. Over the course of 6 tournaments the top 32 cumulative ranking pointed players are invited to the grand championship which is recorded and broadcast at a later date by TG4

Its effectively the irish circuit if you want to call it such

Looking forward to this starting really enjoyed playing against some of irelands best on sunday gone so my aim would be to make the top sixteen here and hopefully one day get to play for dublin

Dartgod · 26-08-2009 04:20PM

That's the right attitude Ste - - - get in early and pick up the points before the mad scramble in the later rounds.

Antoine56 · 26-08-2009 07:49PM

Joe Coyne should do.

I normally make it payable to whoever the form goes to - Joe in this case.

I only remembered about the closing dates this morning.

Dartgod · 23-10-2009 03:31PM

Yep, make the cheques or postal orders out to Joe and he wil look after it.

You are taking a chance, James, in missing the first two rounds if you want to qualify for the Grand Finals.
Get the points in the bag early before the mad scramble in the final three rounds.

Round Two takes place in Abbeyleix on Novenmber 21st.
