CHITO YACAPIN DART DIARY ENTRY NO. 7
Updated September 16, 2013
Darterong Pinoy - Malaysian Open

Darterong Pinoy (DP) is officially announced to be held on October 11-13, 2013. Arrange your schedule guys and your teammates as well, so you can join all the events in this P150T one of a kind , no entry fee tournament. This admirable gesture is Robson and NDFP’s way of giving back to the darters for all the good this wonderful game of darts has brought. Yan ang tawag na Puso with a capital P. Di lang puro negosyo, di lang puro kita ang hinahangad, kundi una sa lahat ang pagpalaganap at kabutihan ng laro ng darts.

Meron added incentives ang mga darters para dumumog sa Sta. Lucia Mall on DP weekend. Wala ang mga top darters kagaya ni Lourence Ilagan, Ian Perez at iba pa dahil kasabay ng DP ang The World Stage 6 soft tip tournament sa Hongkong. At para sa mga batikang darters naghangad makapunta sa London England, it was announced that the Philippine Qualifier for the Ladbrokes tournament will be held 2 days after DP, on Oct. 16-17 here in Manila. Kung baga sa mga kaibigang darters ko from Cagayan de Oro, panahon na para mag bagging bai.

Local News: Last weekend sa Talakudong Open in Sultan Kudarat, Ian Perez ang nag champion after winning the Kidayawan Open. Mukhang mag-number no.1 sa ranking uli ang pinunteria at kinalimutan muna ang international.

Tidbits: Rare Coincidence: Sabay sabay natapos na ang mga liga last week. Sabay sabay naman magpa tournaments ng malaki sa parehong araw. Buti nagkaayos at tuloy sa Sept. 28 ang P30T sa Bullhouse Las Pinas at sa Oct 5 naman ang P25T sa Ambassador. Sa hapon ng Oct 5 bago pumunta sa Ambassador ay dumaan muna at sumali sa P10T Samboy’s Cup sa Almar Subd, Zabarte Road, Upper Kalookan, near SM Fairview.

Ang liga ng NDF sa 1850 Restobar (formerly Bonchalet) saw the top seeded Cuervo team emerged as champion defeating the veterans loaded Samda darters in Division B. Ang miembro ng winning team ay mga malulupeet na darters ng Fairview/ Upper Kalookan area like Sam “The Hunter” Cadiente, Rolly “ The Laberboy” Salcedo, Rey “Tangkad” Rivera, Bebot “Kilabot” Dequina.

Ang resulta ng liga ng DCP sa Ambassador: Division B champion – Team Sniper of Enrico Fernandez/ Machete Selda over the same Samda darters- talunan na naman! It s a double whammy for Al “Bunso”De Ocampo/ Mark “The Spark”Canapi, gwapong kagawad John Tecson. Try again next year mga kapukol baka maging third termer na kayo. Nung nahinto mag pa tournament sa The Gulp, ang Quezon City ay biglang nawalan ng tournament venue. Last Thursday, meron bagong venue sumulpot. Ito ay nasa Maunlad st., Pinyahan, Quezon City, organized by the Pinyahan Darts Club- Ang Boracay darts venue. Simple lang at down to earth ang place. Ang mga manlalaro dito ay naka board shorts, muscle shirts at havianas slippers – beach attire ang dating siempre. Ang inumin doon ay empee at grand ma. Kung sosci ka at gusto mo inumin ay SMB lights, magpabili ka pa doon sa pangatlong kanto. Medyo nasa looban lang ang playing area pero all weather ito, umulan o bumagyo tuloy ang laro. Meron pa nga silang 2nd level para pag bumaha, me tatlong boards pwedeng malaruan. Masaya maglaro doon at maski ang championship game na bandang 1:30am na, pinanood pa ng audience na mahigit 30 na masigasig mag cheer.
