Participants literally overflowed to the streets
as one hundred eighteen (118) players or fifty-nine (59) pairs from
all over Metro Manila and the nearby provinces trooped to the newly
renovated Amber’s Best Ihaw-Ihaw and Restaurant in Palanan,
Makati City last Friday, 9 February 2007 for a P10,000 Classified
Draw Doubles 501 dart tournament organized by the Unified Darters
of Alabang - Las Piñas - Cavite (UDALC), sponsored by Roma
Tours, Prince Maya Travel and Tours, Amber’s Best, Philam
Life and Robson Sportscraft and supported by the National Dart Foundation
of the Philippines (NDFP).
Tournament started at 9:00 PM, thirty minutes from
the published close of registration. Starting tournaments on time
are strictly being enforced to instill discipline and to minimize
tournaments ending till the early hours of the morning. As a consequence,
a lot of players who arrived late were not able to play. Please
note that in tournaments supported by the NDFP and organized by
its support network, starting on time is a priority.
Darters from all over Metro Manila and adjacent
provinces representing the various dart teams and organizations
provided support to the UDALC such as the Integrated Darters
of Laguna (IDOL) led by Boy Gube, Bulacan Darters
Association (BDA) led by Roel and Johnny Ortega, Marikina
City Dart Organization (MCDO) led by Ritchie Gannaban,
Makati City Darts Association (MCDA) led by Bert
Pineda, Snipers - Pier One Dart Team led by Duds
Cansana, Highwayman Dart Team led by Louie Manalaysay
and the Robson Dart Team led by Tito Soncuya.
In the end, it was the pair of Toto Andrade (Snipers
- Pier One) and Vic Garcia (Wyeth Phils.) who emerged victorious
after beating the twice-to-beat tandem of Bonin Eson (IDOL) and
Botchok Gruta (Pool Spot) in their exciting finals encounter.
