Stinger�s $1,000 Payout

Sixty-four players came to play some darts and warm up for the big NDA Shoot. Stinger�s was packed and the fun was happening.

After the draw, it seemed as if it was over before it started. Hot-shooting Tom McCartney drew Master�s Top Gun, Dave Fatum. Two matches into the day they would be in the loser�s bracket, which wasn�t good news for the other losers.

Kix Alcala was on fire and moving through the winner�s bracket with Steve Craren. But there was a team in the loser�s bracket that was taking people out left and right. Mike Bates and James Roberts looked like they were on a mission.

But the road to the top had to go through Dave and Tom. Well, Mike and James took the big guys out and headed toward the top. After a battle with James� brother, Chris, and JR Castillo, they would face off with Kix and Steve.

Steve was playing as good as ever, and Kix was coming off his top Masters� season. But they would prove no match for Master Bates and James. A double-dipper and see ya later! Great job by Stinger�s, and thanks to all who made it to the tournament.

1st place; Mike Bates, James Roberts
2nd place; Kix Alcala, Steve Craren
3rd place; JR Castillo, Chris Roberts
