Fouls:
Committing a foul may lead to loss of turn, game, or match...It may also lead to expulsion from tournament, league, site, or future leagues or tournaments. CAP will make all decisions concerning fouls if not specified below. The following items constitute a foul.
-
Fouls must be called within the round in which the foul was committed by the opposing captain. A round is defined as the period of time from the end of a player's turn to the start of their next turn. In a game that is played with two players sharing a score, a round is defined as the period of time from the end of a players turn to the start of their partner's turn.
-
On a thrown dart, the dart must make contact with the board before the player's foot makes contact with the floor in front of the throw line or a foul has been committed. A player must receive a warning from the opposing captain. If the same team commits the foul again, the player will lose his/her next three darts.
-
If a player throws out of turn and ends the game on that turn, his/her team loses the game.
-
If a player reached zero in a round in which that player or that player’s team committed a foul, that team loses the game.
-
Abuse of equipment, poor sportsmanship or unethical conduct as judged after the fact by CAP may constitute a foul. Both teams may be penalized if we cannot determine who was at fault.
-
If illegal or inappropriate actions take place during league, please contact police or other appropriate authorities. We are not in the position to handle these types of situations.
-
Teams that hold up play continuously may constitute a foul.
-
If a player puts in a false name with the intent to deceive, a foul has been committed.

If CAP believes there was manual scoring a foul has been committed.
