Dartball history: By 1956, the league had grown to 20 teams. At the kickoff meeting on Aug. 13, 1956, there was some discussion among the captains concerning dividing the league into two divisions. A motion to split the league failed to pass. It is documented in the minutes that every year, the same discussion was presented, and every year, the motion would fail to pass — that is until 1964.

That year, the president, Henry Bobb, scheduled the kickoff meeting at the Zion Lutheran Church parish hall. For the ninth year in a row, the idea was presented. After much discussion, the captains passed a motion to split the teams into the American League and the National League. Teams were drawn at random to determine which division they were in. A full schedule was played with the winners of the two divisions having a best two of three games playoff at the end of the season to determine the league champion.

The two division format was used for four years. On Aug. 26, 1968, the captains voted to return to the one-league format that is being used today.
