Romanian Darts Festival 2020 was a success. Conclusions of the 5th edition of one of the most important WDF 2020 start of the season weekends Bucharest, January 28th 2020.
The 5th edition of the Romanian Darts Festival came to an end after three days dedicated to the sport with arrows, where about 400 players have measured their forces at Hotel Intercontinental Bucharest, battling for more than 18,000 euro in prize money, and for winning their first SILVER WDF points of the season.
For the first time in an WDF event, the innovative DartConnect system was used for all 40 official dartboards. Players and fans both enjoyed our initiative – players for following their stats, fans for watching simultaneously all the games they were interested in. Based on our experience this weekend, we believe DartConnect is the next step forward.
Number 1 seed Wayne Warren, the recent BDO World Champion, showed his impressive form winning the Romanian Classic, with a victory in the final 6-3 against a very inspired Catalonian Marti Santamaria. Number 2 seed, Nick Kenny, made the Welsh proud by winning the Romanian International, with a win against the biggest surprise of the weekend, Laszlo Kadar, it was the first time a Romanian player played a final at home in a WDF event. The Romanian showed an excellent form, beating on his way to the final Anthony Allen and Wayne Halliwell.
In the Ladies competitions, winners were Amanda Harwood who won RCDO title after a 5-1 victory in the final against Marjolein Noijens, and Deta Hedman who won RIDO title after a 5-2 victory in the final against Anca Zijlstra.
The atmosphere in the finals day was electric, attendants had a wonderful time with both the games
and the party. We really hope you all enjoyed yourselves, enjoyed our tournament and these will make you comeback to our festival next year.
