The 18th annual BOB JONES MEMORIAL tournament got off to a great start on Friday night with 170 players registering for the Blind Draw Doubles.
Total prize money for the weekend tournament was over $13,000 and the competition was stronger than usual. However, it was only the North American players who took the opportunity to participate in the 501 singles with the top players receiving NDFC/WDF/BDO ranking points.
The singles event began with 107 men and 61 ladies playing for the coveted Bob Jones Memorial trophy. The spectators who remained to see the final events were treated to some great darts. Ross Snook, from Ottawa (Ontario) and Darin Young from the USA put on a great show of darts going to the eighth leg; Ross Snook won the match 5-3. The ladies event featured Cindy Hayhurst of Alberta and Trish Grzesik from Ontario. Both ladies played super darts; however, Cindy took the win by a score of 4-0.
The tournament organizers, Kim Whaley-Hilts and Wally Hilts, would like to thank all the participants and extend an invitation to all NDFC, WDF and BDO players to attend the 2014 event which will be held from October 24th to 26th.
