The Greater Lowell Dart League is a steel-tip format dart league comprised of over 500 shooters playing in clubs and pubs in Lowell, Massachusetts and surrounding towns within a 15 mile radius.  All regular match competition throughout the year is scheduled for Tuesday nights. The league is currently divided into four major divisions -- A, B, C, D. In addition to the four major divisions shown above, the league schedules up to six subdivsions of competition within each of the major divisions.

     The league offers three seasons of play which include a 10-week Fall season (plus 5 weeks of playoffs) that runs from September through December (ending the week before Christmas), a 10-week Spring season (plus 5 weeks of playoffs) from January through May, and a 10-week Summer season (no playoffs) from June through August. The Fall and Spring seasons include four weeks of playoff competition concluding with separate playoff championship teams in each of their respective divisions. The Summer season is less formal with no playoffs and is a good opportunity for new teams to the league to try out their darting skills. It also gives darting veterans an opportunity to shoot competetively in the off season.

     The regular match format consists of a total of 11 team points. One point each is awarded to the winning team in two games of 601 (3-person teams, double start, double finish); three games of Cricket (2-person teams - the calling of the number is not required); six individual games of 301 (double start, double finish, best 2 of 3). The Summer match format consists of a total of 7 team points. One point each is awarded to the winning team in one game of 701 (4-person, straight start, double finish); two games of Cricket (2-person teams); four individual games of 301 (double start, double finish, best 2 of 3).
