George Van Etta (of team H.D.I.Y.) displayed great darts, winning the SCVDA 501 Singles Tournament held at Beefy's Cabin on Saturday 5/10. 12 SCVDA members showed up for the shoot with representation from all divisions of play. After the first round robin, Jimmy Nolan (Team Extreme), Des Nolan (Team Extreme), Artie Lujan (Pinoy Chamba), and George Van Etta moved on to the finals. George won the honor of representing SCVDA at the regional ADO ALL STAR Shoot on 5/17. The SCVDA will pay for George's entry in the 501 Singles tournament.

Lots of fun was had by everyone who showed up for the shoot. Ryan Furlinski commented how he got to play more games in 3-4 hours than he does in a normal 2 week period. The league kicked in for pizzas and we were able munch through the 5 hour tournament.

Sun 2008 May 11 - WCDO Chicago Tournament Results

Posted: Thu 2008/May/08 09:08 by tkreusel / Updated: Sun 2008/May/11 22:50 by tkreusel

Jhun Catanyag Jr (Pinoy Chamba) and Jason Maguire (DARTGASM) did a great job representing SCVDA at the WCDO Chicago Singles Tournament in Concord on April 26. After the throwing against a highly competitive field of 32 for over 10 hours of tournament play, Jhun finished in 6th place and Jason finished just out of the money in the consolation bracket.

On 3/29/08 the SCVDA held a Chicago Open Tournament at which Jimmy Nolan (Team Extreme, Fibbar Magee's) and Jason Maguire (DARTGASM, Beefy's Cabin) earned the right to represent the league at the WCDO Chicago Singles tournament on 4/26/08. As things turned out, Jimmy had a prior commitment and wasn't able to attend the shoot. The next runner up, Jhun Catanyag Jr. (Pinoy Chamba, Beefy's Cabin), was awarded Jimmy's entry.

Jason commented "The shoot went as well as I could expect. I managed a ton 80 and a sprinkling of ton plus finishes and ons throughout the day. Honestly, I'm still quite pleased with that result and looking forward to trying my hand at another big (for me) tournament. All of the encouragement and interest I've received from the SCVDA, board and fellow players, has been awesome."

Jhun made it through the first round in a 3 way tie for 3rd (with 21 of a possible 27 points). In the end Jhun was able to secure 6th place in the tournament winning $50.

Sun 2008 Mar 30 - Singles Chicago Qualifier Winners

Posted: Sun 2008/Mar/30 09:41 by tkriese

Congratulations to Jimmy Nolan (A: Team Extreme) and Jason McGuire (B2: Dartgasm) for winning the Singles Chicago Qualifier Tourney held at Beefy's Cabin. Jimmy and Jason will represent SCVDA at the WCDO $1500 Open Singles Chicago Tournament on April 26.

Jimmy and Jason bested a field of twelve darters from A league (six), B1 league (three) and B2 league (three) who showed up to claim a WCDO entry. After a lot of competitive darts in a couple rounds of play, the field narrowed to just four finalists: Jimmy, Jason, Brad Morton (A: HDIY) and Jhun Catayag, Jr (A: Pinoy Chamba). Jimmy threw his usual stellar darts to light up the field and take the first entry and Jason battled hard against his A-league opponents before clinching the second entry. Way to represent the B-leaguers, Jason!

The league is happy to pay Jimmy and Jason's entry fees to the sold-out WCDO tourney, and we've given them each an SCVDA shirt to wear while they kick butt in April. Congratulations guys, do us proud!

PS - if you'd like to try your hand at a league tourney, we've got a couple Wednesday night matches coming up (Blind Draw Chicago Doubles) at Beefy's Cabin on April 2 and 9 at 7:30pm. Come on out and try your hand at duplicating Jason's feat of beating a bunch of A league throwers.

Thu 2008 Feb 21 - League Boards Are Ready for Play

Posted: Thu 2008/Feb/21 08:02 by tkriese / Updated: Thu 2008/Feb/21 13:45 by russell

Thanks to the handiwork of B1 team Undecided's captain Scotty Brown, all the dart board setups at our league pubs have been inspected and the boards have been adjusted to the right height and stabilized so as not to move. There'll likely be some wear and tear on the boards as the season progresses so please make proper adjustments as needed when you play each week. At the very least, we're starting this season with everything up to spec. Great work, Scotty! Let me be the first to buy you a beer in thanks.
