BullShooter Tour Rules
RECALLS: First call is when your match and dartboard are posted at your assigned stage. Second call is when your match is called over the P.A. system. Third call, you forfeit your match. Five minutes will be given between calls.
STARTING A MATCH: Start with a diddle. Winner of the diddle shoots first in the first game. The loser shoots first in the second game. Loser of the 2nd game has the Option on the Diddle in the third game.
DIDDLE : One player from each team throws one dart for the center of the Bullseye. The player whose dart comes closest to the dead center, has the option of going first. If a player hits the dead center with the first dart, the player must remove the dart and allow the next player to shoot for a tie. Bounced darts must be rethrown. Any team member may diddle.
FREEZE RULE: In a team game with 4 players scoring separately, players 1 & 3 vs. 2 & 4, the game ends when one players score reaches Zero. The winner of this game is the team whose combined score is lower. In case of a tie, the team that reached Zero wins.
DOUBLE IN DOUBLE OUT (Level 1): Play must begin using the (Double) outer ring or the Center Bulls-Eye.
TRUE BULL: Same as above with no scoring of the Double Bulls-Eye.
PRACTICE DARTS: Only Six warm-up darts will be allowed before starting a match — only two turns!
WEIGHT LIMIT: 20 grams maximum per dart will be allowed on all darts.
TOE LINE: A player’s foot can be flush with the toe line. NO part of his/her shoe may touch the floor beyond the throw line prior to the dart contacting the dartboard.
PRIZE PAYOUT: In order to receive any payout, you will have to present proper identification and provide a social security number. (Per IRS)
COACHING: There will be no coaching in the single events.
SCORING: The “Last Dart” (winning dart) will end the game, even if the dart game does not record the score, as long as the dart is sticking in the board. Otherwise, any questions, ask the tournament director, for a final ruling.
SPORTSMANSHIP: Good sportsmanship will prevail during the entire tournament. Any player displaying misconduct will be asked to leave the playing area and will be eliminated from the tournament competition.
MATCHES: During the tournament, your name, your opponent’s name, or team nicknames, and a dart board number will be posted on your chart. Go immediately to the dart board and play your match. The winner of the match must come to the stage area and report the win. You do not win the match until you report to your stage.
CONFLICTS: If you are playing in an event and you are called for a different event, you are responsible to let the stage chart personnel know that you are still involved in a previous event. The conflicting match will be put on “hold” until the Tournament Director instructs you to play a match or you finish the previous event. (Ex: Playing Doubles and get called for Mixed Triples.)
ELIGIBILITY ENTRY CLARIFICATION: BullShooter tournament management reserves the right to evaluate entries based on knowledge of past tournament accomplishments in the sport of darting. It is the desire of TouchTunes Music Company, LLC, and the BullShooter A-Team, to provide as equalized competition as possible for all entrants.
