World Darts Championship

It is sad to think that we might not have a representative to the renowned World Darts Championship this year. The president of NDFP, Mr. Tito Soncuya, himself revealed in its site's forum that PDC has not yet sent an invitation (via Solar Sports) for a wildcard entry from our country. He further explained that for the past two years, they received the said invation as early as May or June. Even the PDC website does not indicate if Philippines will be given a wild card representative. NDFP's website does not also contain information as to whether a national elimination will be held as they are not sure yet if we will be granted an entry this year.
A sad news indeed. But I am still hoping that we will be given another chance in that pretigious tournament moreso that some of our local talents are now slowly recognized in the international darting scene. The invitation should come out now so NDFP can still hold a national elimination to give all aspiring darters equal chance. This is one of the major events which most Pinoy Darters are looking forward to.
Should there be a qualifying event this year, I would like to see Lourence Ilagan, Arvy Briones, Boie Parfan, and Boy Gionzon in the last four to engage in a battle for the lone World Darts Championship wildcard.
