Hello Everyone,

I would to take a moment to acknowledge all those about to embark on their trip to Youth Nationals in Quebec.  Whether this is your first trip to the annual event or whether you are returning, please know that the PEI Darts Association Executive Board and Members are very proud of you and wish you good luck. 

During the January 26 Qualifiers held at the Emerald Community Center, a technical issue came up in the Men’s second round robin in a match between Bill Durant and Corey LeFort. During the first leg of their match, the final score of the leg was entered under the wrong name, eventually giving the leg to Bill when in fact it should have been Corey’s leg. As soon as they noticed the situation, they advised me and I went over to look at their tablet. They were about to start the third leg of the match and the score should have been 2-0 for Corey but it was showing 1-1.

Prior to this year’s AGM, PEIDA members were offered the opportunity to submit suggestions for updating the Team PEI Qualifier format and player rankings/seedings for those events. At the October 27 AGM, members were presented with all options submitted and a vote was held in order to determine the new format that will be implemented for the 2025 Team PEI Qualifiers.

Thank you for joining us at the RED ROCK Dart Tournament! We hope you enjoyed the event, from the matches themselves to the opportunities to connect with other players. As we look toward future events, we highly value your feedback on what aspects of the tournament resonated with you.

The past twelve months for the PEI Darts Association have been ones of growth and success.  As an association we have continued to build on past experiences and have pushed to be bigger and better as an organization.  I am proud to say that as a board, we have always been open to feedback and made decisions that are in the best interest of our players and members.  The road to solutions can sometimes be a bumpy one, but in the end, our intention has always been to build our sport in PEI and become a respected and recognized component both regionally and nationally.  I beli

With the 2024 National Championships now behind us, it's time to look ahead to 2025. Although it has been a month since the nationals, we have a lot to do to get ready for our next set of provincial qualifiers.

You have spoken, and we have listened. After our last set of qualifiers, we realized not everyone is happy with the current format. However, we have received very few suggestions for improvement. So, we are reaching out to our members for ideas on how to make our qualifiers better.

Following the first edition of the Red Rock Open in October 2023, we asked the participating players for their feedback on the event in order to provide a better experience for future editions. As an association, we were aware of issues that came up during the event, but we wanted the players’ input in order to make sure we didn’t miss anything and also to see if there were any areas where we could improve.

And we listened to the players’ feedback!

Attention all darts enthusiasts. We would like to announce the Red Rock Open, at the Rodd Royalty Inn in Charlottetown, PEI from October 18 to 20. The tournament will feature different events, including Doubles, Mixed Doubles, Mixed Triples and Singles.

Over the past four months, the PEI Darts Association has achieved remarkable success in their fundraising efforts, amassing a total of $6,434 to support their team. This significant sum was the result of various events and activities organized by the association, which included a community yard sale, the Cavendish Farms french fry truck, fundraising dart tournaments, and lotteries. The dedication and hard work of the association members, along with the generous support from the community, played a pivotal role in reaching this impressive total.

Tracy Powers, the Director of Youth and Development for the PEI Darts Association, is extending a warm invitation to the communities of Ellerslie, Cornwall/Charlottetown, and Summerside/Kensington areas to join the Youth Darts program this season.

Tailored to engage and entertain, the Youth Darts program is set to unite youth aged 9 to 18 for a season brimming with excitement, skill-building, and the chance to foster new friendships. The program promises an enriching experience for all participants.
