WOW!! There were many, many winners for this 10 week tournament. The bar kept drawing and splitting the money until all was gone. I think there were 7 checks written totalling the $1,000 payout.

Lucky Devils has an after league tournament that starts at 11 PM on Wednesday nights. Drop off your score sheet and stay for the fun and festivities.
Well league has started again and there is much controversy. The reason is that it seems all teams were put in a different division than they requested.
From my understanding this occurred because there were only 2 teams signed up for division 1. Therefore, the 6 teams that were in division 2 last season were moved up and subsequently, all other teams were also moved up. There is no division 7 team this season. Some poeple say that they should have moved division 1 down, but all in all - each team would still be playing the same teams regardless of whether you moved up or down.
It’s started again…
Another 10 week tournament with a $1,000 payout at Lucky Devils. Come out on Monday nights at 8:30 PM and play for a chance to win the guaranteed money.
The winners of the $1,000 payout were Derrick & Kara.
The first drawing was Derrick and Kristina, but Kristina wasn’t there, so Derrick still got his portion - $500; then another number was drawn. It was Kara and I forget which partner…, but only Kara was present. She got $250 (half of the $500) and then another number was drawn. It was Kara and Derrick so they split the remaining $250.
Derrick walked away with $625 and kara got $375! Congratulations to both winners. 
There are two tournaments on the Northwest side of Houston on Friday nights. One is at Sports Station and is at 9 PM every Friday evening. The other is at Lucky Devils and starts at 8:30 PM.
My personal opinion is the one at Sports Station has more of an advanced crowd. Not to slight the players at Lucky Devil’s. I think even they will admit that there are more “advanced” players at Sports Station.
There is a $1,000 Gauranteed blind draw Calcutta Tournament Saturday, May 5 at the “Hot Dog Shop”.
$15 entry per person. $3 goes tot he gauranteed out and $2 goes to the high out. Sign up is at 2:30 PM.
The Monday night dart tournament has begun at Lucky Devils. This tournament is a 10 week tournament with a $1,000 gauranteed payout.
In my experience there are a couple of strategies one can use to win a cricket game. I will call them “close out”, “point up” and “combination” for lack of official terms.
In the “close out” method, a player would try to close all their cricket numbers before an opponent closes theirs. Once all numbers are closed; then you would go back and point until you win the game, as your opponent is unable to point on any closed number. This strategy is very effective if you are good at hitting ALL the cricket numbers. However, if you are bad at any one number (including the bulls eye) then you are leaving your opponent a window of opportunity.
In the “point up” strategy you close a number and then point until you are about 50 - 100 points ahead of your opponent. This makes them have to hit additional bulls eyes at the end of the match in order to catch up in points. However, while you are trying to get ahead in points your opponent may be closing their other numbers, so look out for the sneak up and take the win by surprise.
In the “combination” strategy, you would do a combination of both. Close a number. If you close it with one dart hitting a triple; then go back and point on it. If you don’t close a number, continue to try to close a number (any number) and then point. I usually suggest throw two darts to close and one dart to point, unless the opponent has a lot of points; then do the reverse. Throw two darts to point and one to close.
I have also found that it throws people off a bit if you close the cricket numbers in reverse. If you feel like messing with a person’s head; try closing the numbers starting with the bulls eye!
Last night was the last night of the Monday night tournament that I have been playing in. Every Monday night we would go to our local pub “Lucky Devils” and play in a tournament. The bar offered a $1,000 payout to the players whose number was drawn at the end of the weekly tournament.
Since I was there playing almost every Monday night, I had my name (and my partner’s name) on several of the outs, which is the number that wins the game in the 01 games. The rule was that you had to be present to win. They drew the first number and only one party was present, so they gave him $500 and then drew a second number, which was a number I had my name on!! Needless to say, I walked away with $250 for playing in an on-going tournament and having fun.
