This section features those teams and individuals who have distinguished themselves on the dart board. Seasonal division winners, league mvps, special event and major tournament accomplishments will be posted. We'll also try to highlight giant steps made by up-and-coming players.


This section is devoted to those folks who make TDI what it is and whose collective efforts hold the league together. Here will be found the worker bees who, in one capacity or another, make the league an enjoyable experience for us all. Sponsor and league personalities live here, as do some of the over-the-hill hangers on.


...but I won every match I played

Downstairs at Mr. Eagan's there is a sign on the wall that announces, "Floggings will continue until morale improves." On another wall hangs a cartoon rendition of a former Plan 9 team with Ginny (bartender and league den-mother), dressed in what might be safely described as "kinky- leather", wielding a riding crop. In England there is a fellow who, given the opportunity, will tell anyone who asks, why it is that the Yanks have trouble beating the Brits at darts. This same fellow may also tell of having played with some of these Yanks.

You might wonder what connection Mr. Eagan's on this side of the pond has with this fellow from the far side of the briney. It seems the Englishman, Paul Digger, has a son, Benn Digger, who shoots darts. Not only does the junior Digger shoot darts, he does so under the sponsorship of Mr. Eagan and as a member of the Plan 9 dart team.

So it happened that on their first trip to the states, while visiting their son, Paul and his wife found themselves at Mr. Eagan's for a Wednesday night match. This proved to be a great opportunity for father and son to pair up as teammates. Taking full advantage of an understaffed Arrows team, Plan 9 kicked butt. As the saying goes, however, "It ain't over, til it's over." and, as the initiated well know, with Plan 9, it ain't over til the floggings are over.

It seems there is a tradition that when the Plan 9 dart team wins their home match they are, each and every, obliged to drop trow and submit to the "whip". That this makes no sense has frequently been observed, but to no avail. The response being one of those "you don't understand" looks. Indeed, the bar is now on its second whip, the first having been retired. Brother Brit, John Calver, seemed eager on this particular night, whereas, Scotsman, Andrew Brown, was downright beligerant. Paul Digger, following son Benn, good-naturedly stepped up, took his whacks, and in true Dickensian style, turned when it was over and requested, "Can I have more, ...please?" The house roared.

The wreath link will direct you to a memorial acknowledgement of those individuals
and institutions that have locally contributed much to the sport of darts and,
by association, to the fabric of TDI.
