Many students attended the NASA’s 10 day Space Science Extravaganza fair sponsored by NASA and the Cleveland Plain Dealer. Public interest in the new space agency was high with the recent space activities including Mercury missions, planning for the Apollo, President John F. Kennedy announ

The Youngstown Dart Association put on its 37th Frank Perrico Memorial Open during the last weekend of February. We had so many outstanding performances from our Cleveland Darter Club members, one example of that being Chris Erkelenz throwing a 107 average leg, that an article on it was a must! If you haven’t attended this tournament before, you should definitely consider it for next year. It’s a great option if you’re just getting started outside of league play. Also, if y

Saturday, 2-22-2026 “Flip your aim, spin your luck, and let the darts do the talking!” – this statement says it all. Each round, the board’s numbers were in new places, forcing players to 'double"-guess themselves. Muscle memory and practice had players throwing at areas they shouldn’t be aiming at… without thinking. (Hey, Brian Beach, what are you aiming at? The 18's aren’t there anymore!) Tilting heads could be seen everywhere as players tried to reestablish their common g

It is with sincere sadness that we announce the passing of Charlie Andracchio, co-founder and original member of the Cleveland Dart Club. As the club’s first president, Charlie or Chief as many called him, played a pivotal role in establishing its vision, values, and commitment to excellence. His leadership and dedication were foundational to the growth and success of our organization. His passion for the game was evident to everyone who knew him, and even the background of h

Reminder: If you decide to reschedule this match, please email the League Manager to confirm that both teams have agreed. If you switch the venue and still play that night, you do not have to inform me. I know t

The American Darts Organization is proud to introduce the ADO 2026 Ranking System , a modernized ranking structure designed to make ADO competition more fair, transparent, and performance-driven. Under the new system, ranking points are directly tied to singles event prize money , ensuring that stronger events carry more weight and that players are rewarded for competing — and succeeding — in the most competitive fields. The system also introduces a 15-event cap , meaning

World Darts Federation Mandatory Marking / Scorekeeping Rule (2025 Update) What’s changed: Players are no longer allowed to self-mark their matches in WDF ranking events — even if both competitors agree to do it. A third-party marker must be assigned to keep score.
