The Marikina City Dart Organization (MCDO) was organized last year to spearhead the dart development programs of Marikina City. So far, MCDO has presented six (6) dart tournaments with cash prizes ranging from P10,000 to P20,000, maintained the most attended weekly money-in money-out tournament at Common Room Bar and Cafe and encouraged new darters in Marikina through its participation in the Robson Dart League. Slowly but surely, darts in Marikina is on an upswing and this will continue as new programs are made to present, not only P10,000 tournaments, but a major tournament for 2006.
