Space City Darts was originally founded in 1974 as Houston Darts Association (HDA). As the organization grew over the last 50 years, the need arose to better align our legal status with our goals and to incorporate as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit. Sadly, the name ‘Houston Darts Association, Inc.’ was unavailable, therefore we have incorporated under the name of Space City Darts, Inc.
The purpose of the organization is to advance and promote the sport of darts. Towards this objective, Space City Darts runs organized dart tournaments and leagues throughout Houston and the surrounding area. These events will provide a means to recruit, train, fund raise, and sponsor amateur players to national events.
To facilitate fair and fun play in our league events, we try to offer at least two divisions to accommodate different skill levels. Space City Darts proudly welcomes all individuals of any race, gender or age (21+). Seasons typically run 3 to 4 months, with roughly 3 seasons per calendar year.
League play is held on weekday nights starting at 8 PM, with up to 6 persons per team participating. Space City Darts will release a schedule at the beginning of the season indicating which teams play whom and when. A team will generally play roughly half its matches at its “home” bar, and the other half at “away” bars.
Fees are minimal and often the “home” bar will cover this cost.
Major tournaments are held twice a year and span 3 days. Each tournament will consist of a variety of dart competition events each day with prize money being awarded to top finishers. Players of all skill levels are welcome and there are often competitions tailored for youth players.
