This tournament, like many ESD hosts, is done with an ABDraw format. The format relies on creating parity among teams by splitting the group into two pools based on ability. An effort is made to have a balance of players to make the bracket as equally competitive as possible. Teams are drawn, one player from each pool. This will prevent any Super Teams getting drawn together. Players new to the league will be placed in a pool based on whatever information is available. Bullshooter Live, ESD Dart Club, Gran Board, or previous league stats, tournament performances, and general assessment of ability can be used to determine pool assignment.

By Pre-Registering, you accept that your pool assignment is based on the information we have, and is done in a fair manner. Every effort is made to ensure the info is accurate, and fairly applied. It is not possible, nor appropriate to expect or request which pool you are in prior to the event as we have no control over who enters. The margins of Player Ratings are small in the middle of the player pool. Keep this in mind when the A and B pools are assigned. If you feel compelled to argue over pool assignment, our events may not be for you.

Space is limited based on board availability, time, and space. To reserve your spot, text your name and "I'm In" to Jeff MacIntosh @ 518-862-2216. You are not confirmed as an entry until you have received a response from the Tournament Director confirmimg your entry. If you have not received a reply, contact the Tournament Director again. There are no walk-ins allowed.

DO NOT RESERVE YOUR SPOT IF YOU ARE UNSURE OF YOUR ABILITY TO ATTEND. ABDraw events are dependent upon it's registrants showing up to the event. If you register and your plans change, please let us know immediately. The more time we have to fill an open spot, the better. No Call No Shows will be banned from future events at the Tournament Director's discretion.
