Entry fees or registration fees are the monies paid to join and
play in a dart tournament or league. The main consideration in determining
the entry fee is the cash prize of the event.
The accepted reasonable practice to determine the entry fee for
up to P15,000 cash prize is to divide the cash prize by 100 such
that a P5,000 dart tournament event would have a P50 entry fee,
a P10,000 tournament would have a P100 entry fee and so on.
This formulation changes when the cash prize is over P15,000 and
the divisible by 100 practice to determine entry fees may not be
feasible to apply, as participation will decrease.
The key aspect to consider is how reasonable the entry fees are,
for tournaments with below the 100 divisible accepted norm is always
viewed as generous and an important factor that can increase participation.

The NDFP initiated
the first free entry fee events in a major tournament during the
Robson’s P120,000 Darterong Pinoy in 2000. The events were
the P18,000 Classified Draw Triples and the Youth Singles. Darts
was rapidly declining in the year 2000 and the free registration
event was to jumpstart a “balik-darts” promotion. Three
hundred seventy-eight (378) players participated in the free event
triples.
In support of the youth development, all youth events of the NDFP
since 2000 are free registration events, both for the Darterong
Pinoy and the Mindanao Open.
The Sportshouse 20th Anniversary P100,000 Darterong Pinoy Dart Festival
in 2003, organized by the NDFP, was the first and only major tournament
with no entry fees in all events. The Riverbanks Center Dart Tournament
(July 5, 2003) was the first weekend free registration tournament
open to the public, again supported by the NDFP.
The Darterong Pinoy 2004 and 2005
are all free registration P100,000 dart tournaments. The Darterong
Pinoy free-registration tournaments has been the entry point of
new darters in the mainstream competitive tournaments.
There are free registration tournaments in weekend tournaments sponsored
by barangays but restricted to residents in their barangays. |
