As we've all watched the coronavirus spread accelerate, cases of COVID-19 rise in New York City and the region, and now that the city has ordered all bars and restaurants closed, continuing the dart season has become untenable.
 

Therefore, we are suspending the NYDL Spring 2020 season until further notice.
 

League management is planning possibilities of resuming the season once it becomes possible, which could still result in a full or a shortened season, depending on how the situation unfolds.
 

We will be back with further notices as the pandemic situation develops and clarifies. In the meantime, and more importantly, stay safe, healthy, support each other, keep practicing as you can.

New York Dart League is, like most of us, actively monitoring developments in the Convid-19 situation. As a policy, NYDL will follow the recommendation of local and state health departments regarding measures to protect NYDL players from the spread of this virus. So far, the City of New York has not recommended "social distancing" protocols. For the time being, NYDL matches will be played as scheduled. Should the situation change, we will reevaluate whether to continue or suspend the season.

In the meantime, teams and players should use their own judgment before and or during matches. If any players are not feeling well or are experiencing any flu-like symptoms in any capacity, we encourage/urge players to stay home until cleared by a healthcare professional. If players choose to not engage in the customary shaking of hands or fist-bumps to start or end games, this should be respected and not be considered unsportsmanlike conduct. Players should maintain currently recommended protections such as frequently washing hands, staying home if you're sick or think you might be.

Let's be respectful of personal player choices for protection against the potential spread of the virus. The league will be back with more if and as the situation changes.
