Payout Update & Return to Original Scoring Method

Payout checks for the following sessions will be mailed to team captains in early July:

• Summer '24

• Fall '24

• Winter '25

Please note:

• Unpaid individual membership fees have been deducted from team payouts.

• If a team fee was not paid, there will be no payout for that session.

• For any short-paid sessions, the amount owed has been deducted from the total payout.

If you have any questions, please reach out to me at leagues@clevelanddarterclub.org.

Standings and Payout Differences

You may notice a difference in standings and corresponding payouts. In order to calculate past session payouts accurately, we reverted to the original scoring method: accumulative point total. This did affect standings for some divisions — including one of my own teams.

I understand these changes may come as a surprise, but reverting to the league’s long-standing scoring method was the most fair and consistent way to finalize payouts and ensure accuracy across all teams.

Looking Ahead

• Summer '25 will continue under the current scoring method.

• Beginning with Fall '25, the league will return to the accumulative point total method.

• This change brings us back in line with the CDC league rules and ensures consistency moving forward.

As your League Manager, I’m committed to being hands-on, transparent, and available. Thank you for your patience as we work through these adjustments, and I hope to see many of you back in the Fall.
