Greetings!

If you are reading this most likely you are an individual that has recently joined the GVDA, are considering the possibility or just want to know more about us.  In any case WELCOME!

 

The Genesee Valley Darts Association is a traveling steel tip league that operates in the Rochester, NY area. We are a membership organization that has been promoting the sport of darts for 40 years since being founded in 1977.

Our season signup events and tournaments are typically in

• early January
• early May
• late August/early September
• The midseason tournaments will be in March, July and October

Check the schedule page and home page news for these tournaments, come on down and sign up, play in the $250+ tournament or this is an excellent chance to just chat with us and other dart players to find out what we are all about.

There is also a Holiday Tournament open to all in early May and mid December.

Contact us at any time if you are interested in playing. We have provisions for accepting new teams through the first few weeks of any season, or we can put you in touch with existing teams who are looking to add to their roster.

 

Our primary night of play is Tuesday although we also sponsor several tournaments for our members throughout the year.  We run three seasons each year: Winter Season in January - May, a smaller Summer Season from May-August and Fall Season from September to December. Additionally, as a member of the ADO (AMERICAN DARTS ORGANIZATION), we sponsor qualifying tournaments that provide our members access to regional and national play.  Each year we run the Rochester Open dart tournament with sanction from the ADO. We also assist taverns in setting up and running their own tournaments that are open to all players. 

 

A regular team is 4 players or more. You can play with three but it could sometimes lead to forfeited points from that night. We don't do advanced line-ups or computer assignment so there is an element of strategy when matching up against the other team.

 

Player dues are currently $30 per player per calendar year. There are no weekly or per game fees.

 

Tavern fees are $60 per team per season (reduced in summer) and we ask as a courtesy (but don't require) that the tavern put out some food for the teams (a sheet pizza, or a few dozen wings).

 

Whether you are a team looking for a tavern, an individual looking for a team or especially a tavern interested in putting together a team, this website should provide the information you need.  Come on in and look around.  If you still have questions please click the link for contact information to be directed to the right person.  Thank you for visiting and may your darts always fly straight!
