Friday night at 7 p.m. a Draw Doubles Cricket will be played as a warm-up event to the main events beginning on Saturday.

In the afternoon, the events continue with Men’s Cricket Singles, Pro Cricket Singles and Women’s Doubles Combo.
Players may compete in three events on Saturday and two events on Sunday.
Pro players are eligible to play in as many Qualifying Regionals as they desire. If they win a second Qualifying Certificate, it will be passed down to the next player so all players have a chance to qualify. Once an open player has qualified for the BullShooter Finals, he or she is ineligible to play in any future Regionals unless he/she would like to compete in Pro events.
In all main events, first, second and third place winners receive qualifying
cards for entry to the BullShooter Finals that will be held over Memorial Day weekend, May 26-30, 2005. This year’s Finals will also have added money and exciting prizes. Many players from all over the world look forward to and attend the BullShooter Finals. It is a full five days of competition and fun!

Arachnid’s Great New Feature!
A great new feature has been added to Arachnid’s Galaxy II dart game. When the HotButton was first released, it was able to personalize a player’s game by putting their name on the screen and store credits so the player wouldn’t have to keep running for quarters. Now a player can also use the HotButton for “Casual Mode Handicapping”!
What Is HotButton Casual Mode Handicapping? Casual Mode Handicapping lets any skill level players competed against each other. HotButton Casual Mode Handicapping is simply where a player’s handicap from league play is transferred from the game to their HotButton and back to a game at their favorite location, where they want to play a friendly game of darts with the bar’s hot shot. The game automatically will adjust the scores according to both players’ stats from league. Now players can have a competitive game with any player, pro or novice!
What a great feature, and it only takes a few minutes to set up your match.
If you store your handicap on your HotButton, you can play anytime at any location that has a Galaxy II with HotButton Reader. It saves both Cricket and X01 handicaps.
Saving Handicaps to the Player Button can be done in five easy steps:
- While in the Player Button Screen, select Set Handicap.
- Choose a league to draw the handicap from.
- Choose the team the player is on.
- Choose the Player.
- Touch the Player Button to the HotButton Reader to save. This will save both Cricket and XO1 handicaps!
