What is NADO and the NADO Rewards Points 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 the NADO Rewards points program on nado.net.
When Does the Rewards 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.
- Midstate Amusements Games dart leagues that are NADO points leagues will be labeled on the league description on our website https://midstateamusements.com/league-schedule-and-stats/.
- Member Player Rewards Tournaments (MPRTs)
- These are our local Midstate NADO tournaments we’re running in Oshkosh, Sheboygan, and Fond du Lac and the surrounding communities. Look for more information on those upcoming NADO tournaments on our website tournaments and events page. Go to https://midstateamusements.com/events/ and click on NADO under the Event Type to show future NADO Midstate tournaments.
- You earn 5 points just for participating (if you don’t quit during the 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 placing woman in the bracket, you get 2 quality finish points, up to 10 per season.
- Remote Leagues & Remote NDRTs
- You can play these online from your favorite bar with a Midstate dartboard. They still count toward both local and continental points.
- NADO Remote Leagues earn 2 points each match (max 75).
- Nado Daily Remote Tournaments (NDRT) earn 1 point per match (max 60).

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 Invitational 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!
- The highest point earners after the Midstate Invitational Finale tournament also receive their share of the Local Bonus Pool Money.
- 101 Club Prize Pool Money is a pool of money that is shared among all the players that reach 101 points in a local season. All the points for all the players that reach or exceed the 101 point threshold are totaled up and divided into the Local 101 Club Prize Pool Money to get a value per point. That value is then multiplied back into each player’s respective point count to determine the dollar amount they have earned.
- 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 about the NADO Rewards Points Program
- 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 1st.
- 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 rewards program growing strong!
