The Wisconsin State Dartball Tournament is coming to the Northern Wisconsin State Fairgrounds on April 6th and 7th, 2024.

Here’s more information on Dartball:

Dartball is a game in which darts are thrown at a large wooden board that resembles a baseball field with colored areas which denote bases. Dartball uses baseball-like rules and scoring.

Dartball rules and board configurations vary from league to league, but generally teams comprise either seven or nine players plus possible alternates. Dartball teams are usually formed by churches, often playing their games during fall and winter months in church basements or common areas. Most leagues end their seasons with a state  championship tournament.

Dartball games can be very competitive; just as in baseball, the opposing team and its supporters may attempt to distract the “batter.” In each match played there are three individual nine-inning games, with the exception of tie games in which extra inning games will be played.

This event is open and free to the public. The matches will start on Saturday at 9:30 am. At 11:30 am, they have a Hall of Fame Inductees Ceremony. Return to play starts at Noon and will run into the evening. Sunday hours will be similar with the exception of the Hall of Fame ceremony.

The tournament will be held in the Custer Coliseum and L.E. Phillips Building. Plenty of food and beer will be available on site throughout the event.

128, 9-person teams are expected to compete in this year’s competition.
