Cebuanos to join Pacquiao dartfest

CEBU, Philippines - A bunch of Cebuano darters will vie for top honors in the Congressman Manny Pacquiao Visayas Open Darts Championships tomorrow at the San Carlos City Auditorium.

Among the categories to be contested include the classified draw doubles, classified 3-man team, non-rated singles, open doubles and men’s and women’s open singles.

The Cebuano contenders will be facing seasoned darters not only from the Visayas area but also from other parts of the country.

A total of P200,000 in cash prizes are at stake for the winners of the event supported by Congressman Julio Ledesma IV and Mayor G. Valmayor.

Aside from the cash bounty, the top performers will earn points needed for their individual rankings in the Darts Council of the Philippines.

The Visayas Open also serves as a tune-up for darters who will compete in the Philippine International Darts Open 2011-Philmasters Darts Championship scheduled from December 9 to 11 at the Ninoy Aquino Stadium in Manila. — (FREEMAN)
