Philippine Qualifier to the 2011 World Darts Championship


It's been a while since I last posted an article here in my site. It's been also a while since I last played darts as I'm currently into running and biking. But my love of darts has always been there. NDFP's forum is a must visit each time I surf the net. I miss my darter friends although I've been seeing them lately to chat and play some good darts. And as expected, I bowed to them in the dart matches. It's always fun to play with them again after a long break from darts. It's also from them that I get to hear news about darting in the Philippines. Just last week, I was told that a big event will be staged in Manila as part of the Philippine Qualifier to 2011 World Darts Championship. And this time around, the dormant DCP (Darts Council of the Philippines) is running the show. Well, I really did not understand why at first until I saw the article posted at ndfpdarts.com. I won't tackle that in this entry but I would love to write about it pretty soon.
Going back to the topic, the selection process is really quite different this time around. The qualifying event will start with four regional qualifiers - Manila,Olongapo City, Cebu City, and Cagayan de Oro City. Top 8 from 4 qualifying legs (top 32) will advance into the National Finals which will be staged at NU Grille,Ambassador Hotel,Mabini St.,Manila. The regional qualifying legs should give a better chance to those who are in the province to participate in the selection process. I just hope, though,that DCP will be able to pull this through considering that didn't stage any national/regional events for quite some time now. It would even be challenging for them as NDFP with partnership of Solar Sports has set the standards on how a qualifying event or any darts tournament for that matter should be run. The challenge for them (DCP) is to stage a fair and smooth selection process as the darts world will be watching them closely. I hope that darters, DCP and NDFP alike, will come out and participate this event. May the BEST pinoy darter win and represent our beloved Philippines to the 2011 World Darts Championship. Good Luck mga DARTERONG PINOY!!!
