7) The ADO Tournament Rules have been amended to read: STARTING AND FINISHING (ALL EVENTS) pg. 3 (taken from WDF rules of Play)

The Tournament Director will have the option of a draw, toss of a coin, or for a throw for the bull to determine the order of play in each match.   If a throw for the bull is used, rules 23, 24 and 25 apply.  If a draw or toss of a coin is used, the following shall apply:

The winner of the draw or toss shall throw first in the match. If the match is divided into legs, the winner of the draw or toss, shall throw first in the odd-numbered legs, and the loser shall throw first in the even-numbered legs.

If the match is divided into sets, then the winner of the draw or toss shall throw first in the odd-numbered legs of the odd-numbered sets, and first in the even-numbered legs in the even-numbered sets, with the loser of the draw or toss throwing first in the other legs.

In the instance of a match that is divided into legs, being equal before the start of the deciding leg, then the throwing order of the deciding leg shall be decided by throwing for the bull. The procedure at this point, shall be as set down in rules 23-25.

In the instance of a match that is divided into sets, being equal  before the start of the deciding set, then the throwing order for the deciding set shall be decided by throwing for the bull. The procedure at this point, shall be as set down in rules 23-25.

In those tournaments where a Tie-Breaker Rule is applicable, then the proceeding two paragraphs shall not supercede that rule.

9) ADO National Finals will be smoke and tobacco products free.

10) At Nationals Finals, all players who have not shown to play after the initial call, will receive a first and second call only.  Then the player will start forfeiting the match, one leg for each five minutes after the second call.  This does not include special circumstances known and approved by the event director.
