There are a lot of different “tokens” or “chips” that are used to pull the “Mystery Out” winner. Some use temporary car key rings or poker chips with the numbers written on them in black marker.
We were looking for something with a little more style and our friend, Ice, gave us the perfect set of “Chips” complete with “PDT” on one side and a number on the other. We appreciate the time and effort that Ice took to make these fine chips and we are hoping to find someone that could mass produce something similar so that all of our Host Venue Operators can have a set for their PDT tournaments.
We use a nylon bag to draw the chips from. And to make the blind draw a bit easier, we pull a number for each player and then pull chips “blind” from a plastic coffee can. We then write down the corresponding name for that draw on the Game Sheet. When the tournament is over and it is time to draw the Mystery Out we simply dump the “player chips” back into the nylon bag and then have someone pull the number for the Mystery Out.
Here is a pic of the Mystery Out Chips made special for Pro Dart Tournaments by Ice.
