Resignation and Appointment of Secretary
Due to a sustaining a serious injury, we have had to accept the resignation of Suzanne Bennett from the Q.S.D.L. Executive Board.
We wish Suzanne a speedy recovery and look forward to seeing her toe the oche once she recovers.
As per our By-Laws, we have voted as a Board to invite Vicky Moulaisson as Secretary, subject to section 4.15 of our By-Laws that deal with a vacancy.
Vicky has accepted, and is now ratified as the Secretary.
We look forward to working with her in this historic season.
Added on: Sunday, October 15, 2023
So here it is - the start to our historical season.
Tonight we kick off our combined league with 40 teams and over 300 players registered.
Welcome to all new teams, players and venues.
A few reminders:
Start time is 7:15 with a grace of 15 minutes
***A Division start time: 7:30 with a grace of 15 minutes***
Scoresheets and Rules are available for download here:
Look at the right-most column toward the bottom.
Captains - please enter your roster in the system.
Match results will not be able to be updated without a list of players in your roster.
A word of caution though: when you are entering players, if they have played QSDL before, make sure you select them from "Unassigned Players" rather than create a new player.
This way their historical stats will remain
Added on: Tuesday, October 10, 2023
Schedules and Scoresheets are now up.
Venues should be conflict-free, but if you notice any conflicts let us know right away.
Every team has either 3 or 4 home games.

Name Change Update
Folks, the Ministry has gotten back to us and has denied our proposed name change.
It seems our proposed name is too similar to one that already exists in Ontario – Metro Toronto Area Dart League. I have been in contact with some Metro players who were unaware the name was still registered.
Next Steps
We have no choice but to move forward with our original name – Queen Street Dart League. As a result we have redone player membership forms and team registrations to reflect the original name. Please use these. If you have forms under the Toronto Dart League name, we will still accept those.
Forms can be found on our home page, right hand column at the bottom.
Metro is looking at what it would take to close down the original listing, but the name change therefore would not take place until at least the beginning of the 2024-2025 season.
We will keep you informed of any further updates.
Added on: Tuesday, September 19, 2023
The new name of the Queen Street Dart League....
Toronto Dart League - TDL
Vote Breakdown
TDL - 13
TCDL - 2
TPDL - 1
In the unlikely event Toronto Dart League is not available, we will go to the #2 selection.
Registration of the new name will commence tomorrow Monday August 21.
Added on: Sunday, August 20, 2023
UPDATE:
The Name Change Committee has recommended Toronto Dart League - TDL
In order to validate such a momentous decision which changes the identity of the league, the Board has decided to ratify the choice by having Captains on record as of close of the 2022-2023 season vote on the 3 options discussed by the Committee.
Captains will vote on
TDL - Toronto Dart League - Recommended
TCDL - Toronto City Dart League
TPDL - Toronto Players Dart League
The vote will close 8PM Sunday
The new name will be announced shortly afterwards and the name change process with the Ministry will begin on Monday.
If you are one of 29 QSDL Captains, please check your email and respond with your choice.
Added on: Friday, August 18, 2023
As we retire the names of 2 great Toronto leagues that have served this city well for over 40 years, we are asking for suggestions for a new name that will carry us into the future.
We are forming a Name Change Committee to consider submissions for the new name.
To keep the committee from being too unwieldy, we are going to limit invites to 5 people and have made our initial invites.
All league members will have a forum in which to submit name suggestions and all will be considered.
We will update you with a list of candidate names throughout the process, ending in a final vote on the Top 3 names the Committee selects as the standouts.
You can participate in our Facebook Group by clicking here:

Or email suggestions to [email protected]
We will announce our final selection on August 15th.

An Update To All Q.S.D.L. League Members
An Update To All Q.S.D.L. League Members
Recent Developments
I am happy to announce that based on a vote concluded this past Saturday, the players of Metro Toronto Area Dart League (Metro) have voted in favour of combining with our league.
In addition, as the result of our recent vote, we will be changing our league name from the Queen Street Dart League to a new name, which has yet to be decided.
What this Means
The league will remain the same in terms of structure and corporate identity except for a name change. We will maintain our Not For Profit status. Certain items in our By-Laws may also change, but only to accommodate a bigger league.
Of course, all proposed changes will be voted on at our next AGM prior to the start of the fall/winter season.
Improvements
We are expecting there be several improvements related to having the members of Metro join us. This would include:
· Reducing travel time
· Adding more teams in C and B division
· Having a robust competitive Division at the Premier level
· Access to more venues and more potential new members
The Process
We will be forming committees in the coming days to deal with the name change transition, and various other committees to ensure a smooth integration in all facets of managing the major changes we consider to be next steps for the league.
We will keep you updated on the next steps.
