    Just started posting here, so was wondering where everyone plays and what the set up is?

    I play in Laois where we have two divisions, A and B, with 14 teams in total. Ten man panels where we have eight singles games a night.

    Anyone else here play in county leagues and how do they work where you play??

    A local pub in Bray is starting a league between it's regulars in a few weeks and I'm on the list, that will be my first challenge. Then in October I will join a local team who play in the Monday night Dun Laoghaire Darts league if my game keeps up to scratch.

    Six games and first to two? We play 8 games and first to five in each game, makes for a long game sometimes!!

    Sorry, meant best of 5

    Oh yeah, going one leg down isn't a big deal, you can chalk it down to settling on the board. I've come back from 2-0 down to win 3-2, and had it happen to me a few times, gives you some great experience. Our ranking tournaments are the same format

    We also have a cup that teams from both A and B leagues play in where it's best of five 501, double in double out

    I play for the Bridge Bar in the SW Donegal Darts League.
    Format: 3 Doubles and 6 singles best of 3. 10 Players per panel you can change players after the doubles. Our knockout Cup is first to 4, best of 5.

    Oh and our games are on Saturday nights which fecks things up for travelling to tournments.

    Play in Roscrea, which is part of the Banagher league

    6 games of singles, 1 game of 501, straight in

    3 games of Doubles, 3 games of 501, straight in

    Singles format is too short and unforgiving if you ask me, a couple of bad throws to settle and you mightnt even get to a double!
