Medalist Marketing Corporation recently held their Annual Operator Council. Running from May 17-19 in Seattle, the company hosted 27 operator partners from 21 operating companies across the U.S, with Medalist executives working closely with operators as the organization finalized plans for several major new promotional initiatives. Lee Peppard, President of Medalist Marketing Corporation said the event proved to be very successful. "We have been holding these annual Operator Councils for over a decade now and operators acknowledged this year's event was the best yet", stated Peppard.

A major highlight of the conference was operators signing off on a plan to restructure the Medalist league program for the upcoming season. Although the planned restructuring will result in fewer events, the events will be twice as large, more heavily funded and better than ever. Another highlight of the conference involved Medalist's plans to create a National Tournament Team that will consist of up to 50 paid professionals who will assist in running regional and national tournament events. Also addressed during the busy three-day session were the structure, rules, and regulations for a new and expanded Super Count-Up promotional program. Such initiatives look set to greatly increase profitability for operators of Medalist electronic dart games, including both operators who sponsor leagues and non-league operators.

Medalist also consulted with operators on details of additional major promotional programs, however details of these will not be made public until later this year. Medalist will release more information about the new regional league program, the National Tournament Team, and the new Super Count-Up promotion in the next two weeks.
