copy to the Secretary. Results must be received within 7 working
days. If

If cards are held at the Post Office due to lack of a stamp, these
will remain uncollected and the above will apply.
Rule

team to supply chalker. Away team to supply checker if required.
Scores should be verified by player and chalker BEFORE REMOVING DARTS
FROM BOARD. Darts that fall out of the board before the player has
removed them DO NOT COUNT, even if this is a finishing double!! (You
may secure your darts while score is being verified). Even if the
chalker has taken the score away, it must be added back on in this
event.
Rule

cards used for making the draw should clearly show players initial
and surname. Names must be printed clearly on the result sheet.
