This past season was a tale of two teams.  In the first half, Doug Trout and his team jumped out to a strong lead and never looked back, finishing at 15-3.  In the second half, Team Dormer put up a 16-2 record.  Obviously the big dogs were going to be out tonight as the two teams squared off in the Championship.

Before the first dart was thrown, two things were already decided.

High Game of the Season went to Chrissy Schu for a 56 game.

Tonight’s action began with Team Trout taking down the first game.  In the second game, Team Dormer came roaring back shooting a season high team score of 254. 

In the bully game, Team Trout jumped out to a lead that they never relinquished.  So, I present to you our reigning Champions . . .

Yesterday was the inaugural running of the Dorko’s Winter Classic dart tournament.  The tournament featured 3-man teams with an average cap of 110.  During the course of the afternoon, several players were able to elevate their game while the lights were shining. 

Ed Dormer led individual shooters with an average of 47.7 on the afternoon.  That includes a day-high 57 game.  Not far behind was Joe Swatski, who averaged 46.5 with a high game of 56.

Mark Rohlfling also had a good day, averaging 43.8 with a high game of 51.  

Individual performances aside, in the end, two teams seemed destined to meet in the finals.  And when the dust settled, here’s how things ended.
