CAGAYAN DE ORO – The Breeding Ground of Hunter Darters

No less than The Titan said it. On the last and final day of TSADarts Episode III, Ian Perez did not play in the 3-Man Classified Draw. He rested the whole morning. He wanted to come prepared in the afternoon for the tough games in the Singles event. So did other national darters like Boie Parfan, and Prussian Arceño. You know why? Because this is Cagayan De Oro. This is the place where the hunters (localspeak for accurate and deadly darters) give the so-called glamour darters of Manila headaches and heartaches on the boards. Almost always.

PRESIDENT'S CORNER, February 28, 2014

The growth of Philippine darts continues to explode as never seen before. From the depths of extinction in 2001, darts has slowly risen by bits and pieces, till 2007, where the phenomenal growth started to take off culminating in what we are seeing today.

We are reaping today the fruits of darts transformation in outlook, values, beliefs and principle aided by the new realigned entities in support of these changes. We cannot go back and reassert the failed system of the past lest history repeat itself. New realities have emerged and the darting community needs to adapt and co-evolve with these changing realities.

9-DARTER CONCLUDES A GREAT YEAR IN PHILIPPINE DARTS January 02, 2013

Congratulations Alexis Toylo for hitting a perfect 9-darts out in the recently concluded NDFP sanctioned “120,000 Huling Hirit” organized by the FDAMDI (Federation of Darts Association Metro Davao, Inc.) last December 27-29, 2013. The 9-darter came from hits of T20-T20-T18 (174) leaving 327 left, followed by T20-T20-T19 (177) and with 150 left, shot T20-T18-D18 for the 9 darts out. It was a non-traditional set-up, but it is was perfect. A perfect 9 darts out without a ton 80 – only in the Philippines.

DARTS FOR A CAUSE: “Tulungan Po Natin Sila” Fund Campaign

The NDFP once again sets in motion its Darts for a Cause commitment. The NDFP is raising funds to help support the victims of super typhoon Yolanda. More than being darters, we believe in the social responsibility and moral obligation to extend a helping hand, in our own limited capacity, to the human tragedy inflicted by the devastation of typhoon Yolanda. In this regard, we are donating all the entry fees of the Alfonso Dart Circuit of November 12, 2013, pooling the generosity of our corporate partners Robson and Alfonso I Lights with P10,000 donations each. We are looking forward in the next ten days to the response on our appeal for compassion from the nationwide dart organizations and organizers, venue owners, dart players and managers. All pooled funds will be deposited to the account of the GMA Kapuso Foundation by November 22, 2013. We thank you in advance.

DARTERONG PINOY 2013: Advocating Change, Embracing Challenges, Bridging Darters

The National Darts Federation of the Philippines (NDFP) created another milestone in the history of Philippine darts with the smashing success of its organized 150,000 Free Registration Darterong Pinoy 2013, held October 11 to 13 at the Sta. Lucia Mall, that gathered a total player registration of 2,587 coming from 1,264 players, nationwide - amidst the inevitable challenges of nature and concurrent international tournaments.

FROM FOUNDATION TO A FEDERATION
The Birth of the National Darts Federation of the Philippines

Darterong Pinoy in 1998, was the first dart event organized by the National Dart Foundation of the Philippines. It introduced multiple events in one day, single knockout format in all events and the seeded format in a major tournament, all standard practices today.

Manifestation of Support and Affiliation to the National Darts Federation of the Philippines

The National Dart Foundation of the Philippines is in itself already an institution. Its goals and profound achievements can never be surpassed nor denied. It has shifted traditional and divisive approaches to dart development through a proactive and more holistic way of building a strong foundation and community of darters.
