6. Question of the Month: What’s With "A" Players?

We’ve heard a lot of "A" players across southern Ontario complain about the lack of events and league activities for them to participate in over the past couple of years.

However, when we run events or present events to these same "A" players, they don’t show up or even seem interested.

So what is with these guys? Are they just natural-born complainers, or is it us who are getting too crusty for our own good?

7. Last Month’s Nodor-Swiftflyte Winner

Congratulations to Karen Neilson from Niagara Falls for winning a brand new Nodor-Swiftflyte board. Coincidentally, Karen was the first ever winner of one of our boards back in Fall 2007. Might be just in time for a replacement.

9. This Month’s Dart Video(s)

After watching Dan Olson almost throw a perfect game in our King of the Hill 2 tournament, we started to wax a bit nostalgic for Canadian Dart Accomplishments. The first thing that comes to mind is the 2nd World Championship for John Part in 2003 vs. Phil Taylor, which many people claim to be one of the best ever.

This event will be held at the Owl’s Club (ANAF 306). With 19 boards, the Owl’s is one of the only venues in city centre able to accommodate the number of people we’re expecting for this event.

Tickets are $25 on an individual basis, but we are inviting leagues and legions to purchase 5-10 tickets each at a discount.

All you have to do to qualify for our year end Mega Draw is to enter our monthly contests. Each entry you make through the year automatically gives you an entry to our Mega Draw. Enter each and every month and you’ll receive 12 Mega Draw entries. It doesn’t get easier than that.

Congratulations to Pete Maggiacomo who plays in the Metro Toronto Area Dart League (MTADL), for winning a brand new Nodor-Swiftflyte board. We hope Pete gets lots of use out of his prize. After picking up his new board at an F.G. Bradley’s store, Pete wrote back saying:

I picked up my new dart board last night. Maybe it will improve my darts but I am spreading the word about Toronto Darts.com to all my buddies on my team and in the league.

Thanks Pete.

7. This Month’s Dart Video

If you’re aware of the recent PDC World Championship that concluded just after the New Year, you may be aware of Raymond van Barneveld’s perfect game in his quarter-final match.

Watch around the 48 second mark as Barney hits his 7th and 8th darts into his triples target, and note how the crowd rises up in cheer and dies down quickly to not disturb his throw.
