Realizing the need to create a better environment for dart players at their 2008 tournament, Central Maryland Dart League forms a new organizing committee. One committee member was quoted as saying  "we are looking into moving the event to a hotel location, possibly a Holiday Inn, where players can "play and stay", we want to make it a better experience for our local shooters and attract more out of state players. We also realize the need for better bracket calling and organization and are in discussions with several very experienced people for this. We will also be launching a tournament dedicated website, hopefully by April"   1-22-08
