The awards for the Member League Doubles event are changing, starting in 2026.

Instead of a trip for the winning men's team and winning women's team, the event has been turned into a Cash Tournament, paying out the top 4 men’s teams and the top 4 women’s teams.

All other requirements will remain the same:

• Still a maximum of only one elite player per doubles team
• Still must be a member of a Darts Alberta member league or youth club (no minimum age requirement)
• Still must be preregistered and prepaid in advance of the tournament

The poster will be released shortly.

For personal reasons, Cory Bowen has stepped away from his position as President of Darts Alberta. Following Cory's resignation, the Darts Alberta Board has appointed Bill McGuire as the new President for a term until June 30, 2026. Congratulations Bill.

The position of President will be up for election for a one-year term at the 2026 AGM.

The Board would like to thank Cory for his hard work and leadership since he was first elected at the 2023 AGM. We wish you all the best in your new endeavours.

The 2025 Klondike Open will be a busy time and here are some tips to avoid some of the line-ups:

1. Darts Alberta/NDFC Membership - All individuals wishing to purchase their NDFC membership at the 2025 Klondike Open will need to complete a membership form, even if you are only renewing. Consider purchasing your membership in advance by etransfering your membership fees ($60 for non-members / $30 for member league members) to payments@dartsalberta.com, print off, complete and sign your membership application and either scan and email it back to membership@dartsalberta.com or hand it in at the Klondike and pick up your card. 

2. DartConnect check-in - with this being the first year using DartConnect for all youth and adult events, avoid the DC check-in line-up by checking into the tournament at 67th Annual Klondike Open - 2025 - TV DartConnect 

3. Even though you may already be checked into the tournament on DartConnect, you will still need to register and pay for each event you (and your partner) will be participating in. If you haven't already checked in you will need to go to the check-in line up first before the registration desk will accept your tournament entry.

With the current postal strike, our Membership Director Angela Hovey will be holding off sending out any NDFC membership cards. She will have all cards available at the Klondike Open. Other distribution methods will be looked into after the Klondike Open.
