 The 2nd Federation Cup of the National Darts Federation of the Philippines (NDFP) unfolds on May 30 at 5:00PM for the first Round Robin and continues on May 31 at the Sta. Lucia Mall, Cainta, Rizal. The top 32 players of the NDFP Ranking ending December 2014 are invited to the exclusive circle of the best players nationwide to dispute the honor of the Federation Cup champion - the most prestigious singles championship. The Invitational Federation Cup is a free-registration event with a total cash prize of P24,000.
The launch of the Federation Cup last year changed the landscape of Philippine darts – igniting a burning desire among competitive players not only to be part of this elite group of darters, but to strive for excellence. Christian Perez of Koronadal City wrote history last year as the first champion of the Federation Cup beating Bong Gabiana of Bukidnon in a decision match. Joint 3rd-4th last year were Lourence Ilagan and Long Longyapon of Davao City.
Playing and winning with the top 32 ranked players is a true test of a dart champion. Set to take on the challenge of the 2015 NDFP Federation Cup are the following Top 32 NDFP Ranked Players as of December 31, 2014:
