BURLINGTON DART LEAGUE – FINALS NIGHT SHOWDOWN 🎯🔥🏆

THIS IS IT. The night we’ve been waiting for all season long. All the matches, all the pressure, all the clutch finishes… it all leads to ONE FINAL NIGHT where champions are made and legacies are written.

Join us on Wednesday, April 22nd at Legion Branch 60 (upstairs) for the biggest night of darts of the year. 🍻🎯 The energy will be high, the boards will be hot, and every dart thrown could change everything.

Both divisions will be running side-by-side:

MEN’S FINALS on one side 🎯

WOMEN’S FINALS on the other 💃🎯

Expect intensity. Expect big finishes. Expect chaos at the oche. 🔥

MEN’S DIVISION 1 FINAL 🏆💥
Legion Hitmen (H) vs. Legion 60 (A)

This is a heavyweight battle. Legion Hitmen have dominated, but tonight means nothing if they can’t close the door. Legion 60 is coming in hungry, focused, and ready to take the crown. ONE MATCH. EVERYTHING ON THE LINE. 🎯🔥

MEN’S DIVISION 2 FINAL 🏆⚡
Shooterville Sharkfins (H) vs. Black Swan Mad Dogs (A)

Two teams that have fought through the grind all season are now one step away from glory. Home advantage for the Sharkfins… but the Mad Dogs are coming in with bite. This one has all the makings of a thriller. 🎯💣

WOMEN’S FINAL 🏆💃🔥
Legion Stingers (H) vs. Legion Shooters (A)

Speed, skill, confidence, and pressure. The Stingers defend home turf, but the Shooters are not here to back down. Expect big moments, big finishes, and a final that comes down to the wire. 🎯💥

THIS IS MORE THAN A NIGHT OF DARTS.
This is pressure. This is pride. This is the FINAL STAND.

Bring your teammates, bring your supporters, and bring your loudest cheers—because when the lights are on and the pressure hits, only the strong survive. 🍻🔥

SEE YOU AT THE OCHÉ. LET’S MAKE HISTORY. 🎯🏆💥

⚠️ IMPORTANT CONSTITUTION UPDATE
The Burlington Dart League would like to formally address and clarify an error identified in this season’s constitution.
Under Articles 6 & 7, it was incorrectly stated that a player may only participate once in a singles game. After review, we confirm that this wording was inaccurate and does not reflect the intended rule.
✅ Correct Rule:
A player may only play once per set of games, not once per singles game.
We understand that this error may have caused confusion throughout the season and may have impacted how teams structured their lineups during both regular season and playoff matches. We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience, misunderstandings, or competitive concerns this may have created.
The constitution has now been officially revised and updated, and the corrected version has been uploaded to the league website for reference. All teams and captains are strongly encouraged to review the updated document to ensure full compliance moving forward.
As we continue through playoffs, this corrected rule will be the standard applied across all matches. Our goal is to maintain fairness, consistency, and transparency for all teams involved.
If you have any questions, require clarification, or would like to discuss how this update may affect your team, please do not hesitate to reach out.
📧 [email protected]
We appreciate your understanding, cooperation, and continued support in helping us ensure a fair and enjoyable league for everyone.
🍻 Best of luck to all teams this week—
SHOOT WELL, PLAY HARD, AND LET THE DARTS FLY! 🎯🔥
