It was 2 days of intense throwing and waiting for our darts team. If you were there, you'll see a lineup of dart boards in the indoor hall of hall 8 and clusters of players from the different halls waiting for their round to start. I'm not the best blogger around, so bear with me.
Our team had to play a total of 7 qualifying rounds, with 5 rounds on the first day and 2 rounds on the second day. And between each round they had to wait an hour for the next group to finish their round. That's at least 5 hours spent on waiting and nearly 5 hours of game play. Praises to them for their commitment and endurance.
Our darts team
Each of our players had their own style and proved skillful in their throws. The rotation between our players and opponents was so fast that you can't really tell the details of each of their games unless you are the umpire sitting there taking scores. Throughout, all our players were just focusing on their game to win for hall 4.
It's a classic... Look at the centre of the board. The player is Alex.
Our team conceded the first 2 rounds narrowly, with a score of 2-3 for both of them. But in the next 5 rounds, they fought hard and managed to win 2 rounds.
Here's some shots of them throwing:
Though our darts team didn't make it to the next stage, we got to cheer them for their hard fight and commitment. They are the ones who spent more than 10 hours in 2 days for this competition. Well done!
