From
a 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. This has since been the historical roots and the thrust
of the foundation - to be at par with international standards,
to set standards for dart excellence, to elevate darts as a
mainstream sports, to change the image of darts and to provide
a new vision for the growth of darts. more>>

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. more>>
NDFP Classified Events - In Response to the Baliwag Open
This is to help
clarify the mechanics of NDFP Classified Events
in sanctioned and ranking tournaments in general
and the Baliwag Open Classified Draw Doubles in
particular. This article will also provide some
insights into the so called Classified Events.
Herein is the mechanics as shown in the website
for the past couple of years
NDFP Classified Players
The objective of Classified Events is
to even out the playing field and to at least give
equal chances to all participants of Classified
Events. In all NDFP sanctioned Classified Events
all NDFP Classified Players cannot be paired together.
The NDFP Classified Players are the top 30% of the
total players with ranking points or the players
that have accumulated the average ranking points
of the total ranking point available – whichever
is higher of the two will be classified. Classified
Players will be determined based on the rolling
3-years accumulated ranking performance points of
players.
All Masters will be classified up to five (5) years
since last earning the requirements of a master’s
title irrespective whether they do not meet the
requirements of being classified.
Notes:
The objective of Classified Events is clear –
to even out the playing field and to at
least give equal chances to all participants
whether a player is hard core, novice, youth, female,
senior or enthusiast to win a classified event.
Thus some players
need to be classified so that “two strong
players” will not be partners. This concept
of giving parity to all players in an event is not
an easy task to formulate but must stand scrutiny.
To objectify the classification of classified players
we went beyond the usual rated / non-rated classification
and looked for individual performances as the basis
for classification. Individual performances can
be extracted from the NDFP Performance points of
the Singles events. Thus the accumulated rolling
3-years performance ranking points of players is
a good gauge of individual performances and the
top 30% of these players are being classified. more>>

DARTS:
An Instrument of Hope for Less-Fortunate Children?
Personal Account of Ronnel B. Botor
April
30, 2009 was a stormy morning as the rain kept on
pouring, together with the barrage of strong winds
and thunderstorms brought about by a strong typhoon
as reported by PAG-ASA on that day. The horizon looked
so depressing yet so inviting for everyone, including
myself, to forget work for the meantime and take a
day off.
Bleak and depressing as it was, NDFP
President Tito Soncuya hit the road as early as 7:00AM
from Marikina City to pick me up for a very noble
Samaritan work. His two-hour ordeal in the midst of
traffic jams and flooded roads to reach our meeting
place was already a test of perseverance. Yet, he
was all set to accomplish his ‘special mission’
for that day. more>>
