What’s the NADO Rewards Program?
- NADO is an organization that allows players to earn points and cash prizes for playing in dart leagues and tournaments – no matter their skill level. In addition to offering points for the NADO sanctioned Midstate Amusements dart leagues, NADO also runs their own remote dart leagues across North America as well as daily and weekend remote tournaments. You can learn more about NADO on nado.net.
When Does the Program Run?
- The NADO year starts on July 1 and ends on June 30 of the following year.
- If a player joins partway through, they might get bonus starting points so they aren’t behind. The number of bonus points depends on when they join. You can learn more at https://nado.net/nado-rewards-program-rules
How Do You Earn Points?
- Local Leagues
- Play in a NADO league and get 2 points per match, up to 75 points max per season.
- For every 12 matches, you get 4 bonus points. These bonus points combine with tournament bonus points – up to a total of 15 bonus points each season.
- Member Player Rewards Tournaments (MPRTs)
- These are our local NADO tournaments we’re running in Oshkosh, Sheboygan, and Fond du Lac. Look for more information on those upcoming NADO tour of tournaments this fall!
- You earn 5 points just for participating (if you don’t quit during tournament). You can earn up to 60 points per season this way.
- For every 4 tournaments you play, you get 1 bonus point (counts toward the shared 15‑point bonus cap).
- If you win (or are the top woman in the bracket), you get 2 quality finish points, up to 10 per season.
- Remote Leagues & Remote MPRTs
- You can play these online from your favorite bar with a Midstate dartboard. They still count toward both local and continental points. Learn more about the Continental tournament at https://nado.net/continental-tournament-info
- The same rules apply for earned points and removal (e.g., quitting too early).
What Happens After Earning Points?
- Local Prizes: Your regular points plus any local postseason points go toward local rewards like the Local 101 Club or Local Bonus Pool.
- If you have 75+ points by June 30th, you are invited to the Midstate NADO Finale event in August. This A/B/C luck of the draw dart tournament will earn you an additional 26 points for participating, plus potentially more points depending on where you place. More points means better payouts!
- Continental Finale (The Big Event!):
- If you’re one of the top players, you may play in the big NADO Finale (usually in October, although they added a western finale in Nebraska this October, too). There are events and competitions where you can win more points and possibly cash.
- How well you do here combines with your points to compete for big prizes, like the Ton 80 Club and various Bonus Pools.

Other Important Things to Know
- Check your points wisely: NADO keeps track on their site, but you must watch for errors and fix them before prizes are handed out. Their league ends on June 30th and starts on July 1st each year. You’ll want to check in late June that all your points are showing. If not, contact Alicia at Midstate Amusements by July 7th.
- Fair play matters: Cheating, wrong skill ratings, or other bad behavior can get you removed and lose your points. Just because Midstate Amusements isn’t running these leagues does not mean you don’t need to follow our rules or that you won’t face repercussions for bad behavior in a NADO-run league or tournament.
- Prize amounts aren’t set in stone: They’re estimates based on how many players and games happen each season, so prizes can change. This year, our Midstate NADO finale is has higher payouts than last year, and that one had more than the year before. We hope to keep our NADO program growing strong!
