Why is it so hard to find steel-tip clubs in LA? Am I just not looking in the right places? Can't really do bars because of age but I really miss league play and wish there was a place for youth darts closer than Encino. I would definitely enter a local tournament or league in the downtown/Hollywood area. Went to highschool in Canada and competed in youth darts with the local Canadian Legion.

I'd like to put together a weekly league/tournament in the Hollywood/Westside area. We usually shoot at the Cat & Fiddle Tuesdays and the King's Head in Santa Monica on Thursdays. Traveling to OC and Ventura seems a bit far, though. <br /><br />Format is usually blind draw, best of 3 legs - 1 leg cricket, 1 leg 501, final leg/game decided by cork.<br /><br />Would be happy to put something together with you and possibly the So Cal Darts Assn - <a href="http://www.socaldarts.com/" rel="nofollow">http://www.socaldarts.com/</a>.<br /><br />BTW - great website and very informative. Thank you!<br /><br />Tito DA – I’m with you. I’d like to put together a weekly league/tournament in the Hollywood/Westside area.
