Today’s first annual Scalpers Shoot-Out at Scalpers Bar and Grille offers soft-tip dart players a chance to compete for cash and prizes. And unlike other local dart tourneys — where pros squeeze out amateurs in the first couple rounds — today’s contest downplays strategies and welcomes novices. “We are targeting the lay darter,” says organizer Andy Margevicius. Up to eight boards await contestants, whose names will be randomly drawn to ensure balanced two-person teams. “Darts is an activity for everyone — young, old, amateur, professional,” says Margevicius. “And you can play your entire life.”
