The competition is expected to be keen when the Guyana Darts Association (GDA) stages a tournament that coincides with the Mashramani celebrations dubbed the ‘Darts Classic’ at the Clerical & Commercial Workers’ Union (CCWU) Club over this weekend.
The tournament is expected to attract the cream of the local players including Sudesh Fitzgerald, Hemwattie Amyan, Sherwyn Greene, Anthony Bissoondyal and Rosetta Hiralall among others. The organisers are, however, encouraging participation from all darts players to compete for the lucrative prizes on offer.
Five events, Luck of the Draw Doubles, Team Competition, Men’s and Women’s Singles, and Open Doubles are carded for play-offs today and tomorrow with prices ranging from $5,000 to $30,000 for the first three finishers.
Additionally, there will be cash incentives of $5,000 each for players recording the best finish, shortest or fastest game, and the most 180s. Then there is the Luck of the Draw event (2 best of 3 games 501) where the doubles pairings are determined after selection from a bag.
Each team will comprise 4 members including men and women for the 2 best of 3 games 701 while all other events will be of 2 best of 3 games 501. Activities get underway tonight at 19:00hrs and players desirous of competing in the various events are required to conform to the registration process at least 30 minutes prior to the start of play.
Two events are carded for tonight; the Luck of the Draw and the team competition. The other events will be played on Sunday, February 24, starting at 13:00hrs.
Meanwhile, the organisers benefitted from the largesse of the Guyana Oil Company Limited (GUYOIL) when executives of that company handed over a cheque to facilitate the successful staging of the tournament.
This is the second consecutive year that GUYOIL has acquiesced to such support and five events–Luck of the Draw Doubles, Team Competition, Men and Women’s Singles, and Open Doubles are carded for play-offs this evening and Sunday evening.
Several other business entities have also rendered corporate assistance including John Fernandes Limited, Roy & Sonia Fashions of Stabroek Market, and Dr. Terrence Joseph.
