Top Players Converge in Davao City for 10th NDFP-sanctioned Mindanao Dart Tournament
 
   

The top ranked players of the Philippines converged in Davao City last August 18 – 20, 2006 for the 21st Kadayawan 2006 sa Dabaw P100,000 Darts Championship organized by the Karaan Davao Darters Association, Inc. (KADDAI), led by Edwin Ponce and Boy Gludo, and sanctioned by the National Dart Foundation of the Philippines (NDFP). The tournament was presented by Casino Filipino Davao and supported by the Davao City Government and Robson Sportscraft.

This is the 10th NDFP-sanctioned tournament in Mindanao this year. The continuing dart expansion in Mindanao is through the coordinated efforts of the NDFP regional managers, the strong local dart organizations and the support of the NDFP on a national level. To further strengthen the support network in Mindanao and to give additional exposure to the NDFP top players, NDFP president Tito Soncuya announced in his Opening Ceremony message that the NDFP will provide round trip tickets to the top two ranked men’s players and the top ranked female player in Mindanao to the Darterong Pinoy come November. With a few more NDFP ranking tournaments scheduled in Mindanao before the Darterong Pinoy, the race for the top slots in the NDFP player ranking in Mindanao is still wide open.

The Opening Ceremony was highlighted by the inspirational message of Philippine Sports Commission (PSC) Chairman Butch Ramirez, accompanied by PSC Commissioner Richie Garcia. Gracing the formal opening were Atty Oying Melodias, in behalf of Mayor Duterte, Abet Arcega of Casino Filipino Davao and Barangay Captain Rommel delos Reyes representing the Davao darters.
