Hail to the World Champions!

By Laurie Chick

Medalist hosted their annual series of World Championship dart tournaments at the fabulous Texas Station in Las Vegas over the final weekend in July 2011. Dart players from all walks of life poured into Las Vegas, citing vacations, road trips, and whatever necessary, determined to have their toe on that throwline when the long-anticipated tournaments finally kicked off.

Medalist had once again staged a beautiful room for the tournament, and the staff performed admirably, keeping hundreds of teams on track and moving vigorously forward. The tournament staff was excellent about calling out any cards left in the trees, but as is the nature of these events, it wasn’t until the wee hours of the morning when the day’s matches would climax in a bleary-eyed Pit showdown.

Inevitably, the strongest would always rise above the rest and were handsomely rewarded for their efforts and dedication.

Reminiscent of years gone by, large groups of supporters would gather and cheer on their teams in the Pit and around the room.

Plenty of familiar faces scuffled to and fro, not to mention a bevvy of brand new players.

Lenna, Kristin, and Nicole were ultra-busy providing professional massages to the players just outside the main entrance for just ten bucks!

The Player Pride Party on Saturday night enjoyed a large turnout in recognition of the week’s big winners. It didn’t hurt that drinks were half price. Medalist took this opportunity to acknowledge their Top 10 performing Operators and Top 40 participating locations worldwide for the 2010/2011 seasons.

Congratulations to those elite dart players who found themselves playing on that coveted stage and/or collecting their winnings after a long day of success on the boards. Following is a truncated list of winners for each event. Please see the complete list posted online at www.themedallion.net or www.medalistgames.com.

Special thanks to Medalist for an incredible weekend to remember!
