To State Dartball Entrants:

Potawatomi has decided to cancel our 2021 tournament.  All rooms that were booked under the Dartball block have been cancelled.  If you have rooms out of the block or at other motels you will need to cancel on your own.

The good news is that I found a place to hold it, but on a new date:

Location. Green Bay at Radisson, Oneida casino
Date: March 20-21, 2021

You can call direct at 920-494-7300 for reservations and be sure to ask for the Wisconsin state Dartball Tournament room block for discount.

Or book rooms on-line here.

You will need to call or text Harry if you will be in this year's tournament before January 15.  We need to reach a certain number of entries for us to run the tournament.  We will be using the same entries as you had for this past year's tournament.

Call Harry at 262-470-8094
Or e-mail Harry at lrtrophy@gmail.com
This is the same way you did it the last time.  We will be taking every precaution that we can at the tournament to keep everybody safe.

Attention dartball players:

Kenosha Monday 3 person Dartball League.
Join us for our 2nd year!
Due to the old venue, Danish Brotherhood, being burned down in the Kenosha riots I have just secured The Moose Lodge at 3003 30th Ave Kenosha as the new venue. The league will take place at this venue each and every week. There is plenty of room.
They are investing in new boards and stands.
The kitchen and bar will be open during leagues and a wide variety of food will be available for purchase.

If you are interested in getting your team into the Monday league or getting more info get ahold of me, Brian Niese, at 262-359-1830.

A few things to keep in mind about the league.
It's a 3 person league but you can also shoot with 4 or 5.
You can get 35-65 at bats a night. You can go for any base and the handicap is 75% and is established after the first week.

We are still deciding what the maximum number of teams we want in the league “this year” given what’s happening in the world and what precautions will be made.

Save your spot. Please forward this email to other people you think may be interested in this new league.

I look forward to hearing from some players.

Thanks
Brian Niese

It is with great sadness that I pass along information from Harry Roecker.  Harry called me today and told me to make this post.

The Wisconsin State Dartball Tournament is canceled.

Ho-Chunk will be canceling all hotel reservations and you should receive an email with that notice as well.

We wish all of you the best in your upcoming dartball seasons and also that you all remain healthy.

Thanks

Wisconsin State Dartball Committee

There are more king rooms available at Ho Chunk for the state tournament on Oct 3-4.  There is a two night minimum.

Also a plan has been worked out to ensure plenty of social distancing space between teams.

Please stay tuned for further updates as the tournament gets closer.

Thanks

Harry Roecker

There are no 2 bed rooms available.   Only king bed rooms available. 

As of now the tournament is still scheduled to take place.

We are discussing many ideas to keep this event as safe as possible for all including spreading the boards out as far as possible, hand sanitizer availability, masks, spectators and the like.  There will be more information coming as the event gets closer.

There are currently 105 entries and Harry is expecting more.  Anyone can send in their entry up until September 1, 2020.

Ho Chunk has now taking reservations for October 3-4, 2020. 

They are very short on staff so please be patient.  You may need to call back several times or leave a message and it may take a couple days for a call back.

Please call 608-963-5479 between 8:30am and 4:00pm Monday through Friday and mention Dartball.

Please contact Harry Roecker with any questions at 262-470-8094 or lrtrophy@gmail.com.

Thanks

There will be more information posted on July 21st about the tournament including when and how to make hotel reservations.  Please check the website or the Wisconsin Dartball Facebook page.

The 2020 State Tournament will be happening on October 3-4.

The next update will be coming on June 5 as we are waiting for State of Wisconsin and Ho Chunk to re-open.

Thanks!

Harry Roecker

Due to the unforeseen circumstances of the COVID-19 virus we postponed our 2020 State Dartball Tournament. Our current plan is to reschedule this fall. After discussing with Ho-Chunk, their available date is October 3-4, 2020. In order to book an event of this size, the committee will need to know how many teams will participate in the tournament.

We have to know by April 20th, 2020. If we do not draw enough teams to meet certain stipulations set forth by the Ho-Chunk Hotel & Conference Center, we would be forced to cancel this year's tournament and wait until next year. If you entered and paid for the March 2020 tournament, your entry money will be put towards the fall tournament. Any new team can also enter with payment.

For those that supplied an email address on their registration form you should have received an email.  For those that did not specify an email address you will receive a phone call from Harry Roecker.

Please send an email to Harry Roecker at lrtrophy@gmail.com to let us know if you plan to enter a team for the October 3 & 4, 2020 state tournament.  Please include your team name, captain's name and phone number. We will use the entry you have previously submitted, but changes will be allowed to your roster if necessary. Please list subject of email as "State Dartball 2020".

Thank you, 

Wisconsin State Dartball Committee

Ho-Chunk has informed Harry that they are closing indefinitely and therefore they are canceling all hotel rooms booked including those in the Dartball block.

Due to the closing they will be very busy so you may experience difficulties getting through to them.  They also said that they will not know until the end of April if there is a date available to re-schedule the tournament.

Please continue to check the website, your email, and Facebook for additional updates.
