State Tournament Winners - Women's Division
State Tournament Winners - Class "B"
State Tournament Winners - Class "A"
WISCONSIN DARTBALL
The first state dartball
tournament was held in
1939. See the photo on the
right. The records from the
early years of the state
dartball tournaments were
not always passed along. If
you have any information
about any of the missing
information, please contact
us.
Over the years, the
number of teams entering
the state tournament has
continued to rise.
1986 was the first year
teams were divided into a
2 division format. Since
then, the top 16 teams, by
team batting average, have
been put in the "A"
division. The rest of the
teams go into the "B"
division.
In 2000 it was decided that
any team that won Class B
the previous year must go
into Class A the next year.
In 2009, the tournament
was held in the Wisconsin
Dells area for the first time
ever, and drew 85 teams
from around the country! In
2010 a "C" division was
added, and the tournament
grew to 91 teams. Maybe
next year it will top the 100
mark!

For many years, the
Oshkosh Eagles
tournament was
considered one of the
toughest tournaments to
win. It was always held the
first weekend in March, and
many teams used it to
prepare for the state
tournament. The
tournament wasn't always
run the best, but attracted
all the best teams. The last
year the tournament was
run was in 2004. It was won
by Hickory Inn. Here is the
team photo: Hickory Inn
|
In 2003, Minnesota invited a
Wisconsin team to their state
tournament. They shoot at a
different board than
Wisconsin, and only shoot
from 15' away. The Hickory Inn
team from South Milwaukee
traveled to the tournament.
They adjusted to the shorter
distance rather quickly. In one
game they scored 116 runs!
They easily won the
tournament, and were never
invited back. Here is the team
photo with the 1st place
trophy: Hickory Inn
