AMOA-National Dart Association Appoints New Management Team Kelleher And Glasgow Take Charge In Fall

Jack Kelleher

As part of the changeover, William T. Glasgow Inc. has been appointed as the management firm for NDA events, which climaxes every spring with the world-famous Team Dart tournament. WTG's Brian Glasgow, who manages the industry's Amusement Expo International, will oversee production of NDA's regional tournaments and Team Dart world championship. Before their collaboration in the amusement industry, Kelleher and Glasgow's careers intersected at the American Hardware Manufacturers Association, where Kelleher was communications director and Glasgow was tradeshow director. Team Dart is the first major sporting event that Glasgow will produce.

Leading up to Team Dart are three regional tournaments held during the winter season. The 2016/17 regionals will be held in Sioux Falls, SD (Nov. 4-6), Billings, MT (Dec. 2-4) and Madison, WI (Jan.13-15). Regional tournaments, introduced in 2013, are open to any NDA-sanctioned player with 48 games played for an NDA operator. | READ MORE

NDA was founded 31 years ago by AMOA, but it is run as a separate not-for-profit association. It now represents 250 amusement operators and sanctions 45,000 players worldwide. Operators host leagues at their locations, which improves coin drop and location traffic. The association is sponsored by dartboard manufacturers Arachnid Inc., Cyberdine d.o.o., Gaelco Darts S.L. and NSM-Löwen Entertainment, as well as AMOA.

Following the transition this fall, the National Dart Association will move its headquarters from Indianapolis to Mokena, IL.
