Fall/Winter 2012 Medalist League Northwest Zone Finals report
It was dark and raining when the doors opened on the 82 dartboards of the 2012 Medalist Fall-Winter Dart League Northwest Zone Finals Friday, March 9, 2013.
The event was held at their new home, the DoubleTree Seattle Airport Hotel at Sea-Tac. The hotel was wonderful venue, and their staff was great. The Medalist team spent two-plus days creating the perfect atmosphere for what lay ahead.
Four-hundred and seventy players hit the boards Friday just after 5pm to battle, not only for prize money ($25,275.00 for Friday night!), but more importantly, the pride inherent in knowing you’re the best! When the last dart was pulled from the board Doofer’s “Just Us” were the Champions of C Trios. Cactus Moon “Onager” took the top spot in A Trios.
Saturday morning started with 528 players competing. Each hoping to prove they were the best of the best, and deserved the lion’s share of $25,130.00, and the right to wear the Champion Jacket for their flight.
When all was said and done, Dawson’s “HavnFun” had won B Doubles, and the Inn Sportsbar “1HoleOut” had taken the top spot in Novice Doubles.
Saturday night featured 452 players looking to claim the top spot and their chunk of $22,595.00. When the dust cleared later that night, Monte Carlo “Beaches” had won the Women’s Novice Trios, and Cactus Moon “BeenLongTime” was the Champion of CC Doubles, while Cactus Moon “Rising Up” took the top spot in A Doubles.
Sunday brought another 356 players intent on surviving the day, and picking up part of the $18,260.00 in prize money.
Mustard Seed “DirtySaw” finished the day on top in B Singles/Doubles, and Dub Pub “Pubster” was crowned Champion of C Doubles.
Medalist also recognized Iron Man James Nielsen, and Iron Woman Cindi Anderson for the achievement of having played more league games than anyone else in the entire zone.
The weekend wrapped up Sunday night when 413 players battled for the brass ring, and $22,610.00 in cash!
Dawson’s “GameOn” won Novice Trios, Sports Page “TripnOut” were Champions of B Trios, and Waterfront’s “Badboys” took the top spot in AA Doubles.
The tournament was summed up best by a player who came to the stage Sunday night and said; “You know, I’ve been coming to these events every season for the past ten years, and somehow Medalist manages to improve their presentation every time!”
Overall Medalist awarded their players $114,590 in prize money, 232 trophies, 394 plaques, and 29 Champion Jackets over the 3-day event. See the Top 8 winner’s list below.
