ARTICLE XVII SCOREKEEPING:

    A.  The home team is to be listed on the left side of the scoreboard and the Visitors on the right. Do not change sides during the night of play.

    B.  Mark the board so that scores made are listed in the outer columns of the scoreboard and the
remaining score is listed in the inner column. (ADO rule #36).

    C.  Do not touch a dart when checking to see who has won the cork. If decision cannot be made "as is" how/where the darts are in the board, a re-throw will be made.

    D.  Do not talk to a player at the hockey line.

    E.  Sit/Stand facing the scoreboard.

    F.  Stand still. No Dancing or fidgeting. Most players do not mind if the scorekeeper smokes/drinks while keeping score. Use  judgement and if asked not to, don't.

    G.  Do not call out the score of any dart(s) thrown unless asked by the shooter.

    H.  Do not tell a shooter what to shoot to take a game out

        1.  The scorekeeper is not to tell a shooter what to shoot.

        2.  If the scorekeeper is asked, they may tell the shooter what is left and/or what is shot.

    I.  Do not change the score once it is written down.

        1.  A shooter should not remove their darts until they have confirmed the score they have shot and it has been written on the scoreboard.

        2.  Once a shooter shoots and a remaining score is written down the previous score stays as written.

        3.  In a doubles match after the partner shoots the previous partners score stays as written.

    J.  Do not lean out to see what a dart has scores until the last dart in a turn is thrown.

    K.  Do not show any signs of disgust or excitement.

    L.  Never mark cricket scores until the last dart in a turn is thrown.

    M.  Do not change the score or erase the board in the middle of a players throw.

        1.  When the scoreboard is full and needs to be erased, it is recommended that the scorekeeper erase only the top of the board, leaving the last couple of scores to allow all shooters an opportunity to check the math.

        2.  Changes should be made between throws.

THE PART OF THE BYLAWS THAT WILL NEVER CHANGE IS:

2.  No electronics, always use paper for DDA records.

3.  The DDA's facebook page is not an electronic record for the league. The facebook page is for informational posts ONLY.
