The Lake Erie Classic has always been a great tournament to attend, hosted by our neighbors at the Lake Erie Darts Association (LEDA). September 12th–14th turned out to be a beautiful weekend to spend with friends, and enjoy some great darts.

This year’s tournament was powered by Target Darts, and one of the highlights was getting the chance to test out their auto-scoring system. Two example boards were set up for people to try out. The boards were equipped with four built-in HD precision cameras and bright white LED lighting, allowing it to track darts and calculate scores in under a second with impressive accuracy. It was definitely something fun and exciting to experience firsthand!

Friday kicked things off with a Pro Dart Clinic featuring Danny Baggish and Chris Lim. Both were there to help players work on their games by offering guidance and tips to help everyone improve. What a great opportunity to take advantage of having professional players available and willing to share their knowledge!

It was a fantastic way to start the weekend.

We had a nice showing from our Cleveland Darter Club with many making it into the quarter finals.
