Dolreich “DJ” Tongcopanon of Robson-Gensan leads the P25,000 Chris Sports Darter of the Year Award with 296 Ranking Points after the 3rd Quarter of 2015. The 20 year-old Tongcopanon gained 92 points in the five (5) NDFP Ranking and Sanctioned Tournaments in the 3rd Q, with a Championship in the Emong’s Cup, 2nd in the 150K Gov. Mendoza Kalivungan Festival, and top 8 finishes in the 100K Araw ng Digos and the 150K Kadayawan Festival. DJ missed the chance to be the 12th National Master when teammate Bong Gabiana crushed him in the finals of the Gov. Mendoza Cup, 5-1, with 6 T80’s. This could have been the 3rd National Tournament (100K and over) title of Tongcopanan and thus earn the title National Master.
