Tournament of Champions VII – January 27th, 2001
The day started at 12pm with sign-ups for the Men’s & Ladies’ Super Singles Shoot-Out 2 (SSS) and ended with the last dart thrown at midnight in the Tournament of Champions – 7 (TOC). We had 38 entries into the Men’s SSS and 20 entries into the Ladies’ SSS. The TOC started at 5:30 with 84 players. Both tournaments ran very smooth because we had NO trouble finding scorekeepers all day long. The incentives were the key that made the MAGIC work. Twelve great Chalker Prizes were given away throughout the day. One every hour with the Grand Prize an RCA 27″ Color TV and First Prize a Great Stereo System. This made the WHOLE DAY a great SUCCESS and fun for everyone.

Director’s Notes:
A BIG THANK YOU to my crew this TOC & SSS. Could not have done this tourney without them. They are one of the reasons that it ran so smooth and quick. In alphabetical order, they were C. J. Beyleu, Mike Strawderman, Sara Lloyd, and Steve Kindred. And a special THANKS to Jeff Allsop, Jeff Kratz, and Steve Gagnon who volunteered their help by finding chalkers, updating the brackets and keeping the tournament moving. I can’t forget the many players and chalkers who supported this TOC and made my 52nd Birthday a wonderful memory. Another BIG THANK YOU goes out to Ron & JC for supplying the facility and beverages as well as the Color TV. I also wish to thank all the Sponsoring Pubs, Sharky’s, Austin Ave, Yucatan, and Salute’s for their support by donating Chalker Prizes.
AND THE BIGGEST THANK YOU of ALL goes to MY WIFE, Sara for her continuous support of my business by HER LOVE FOR ME.
We now start a new season with The Tournament of Champions VIII and the Super Singles Shoot-Out 3 being held at Yucatan Liquid Stand at the end of May 2001 (date still to be determined). Watch for flyers, the WEB SITE and for Posters. In the meantime, make sure you get your 10 games in early. And remember, the statistics show that the majority of the players who play ten times usually place in the money, win the Honey Pot, or place 1st at least ONCE during those ten times. Just check out the Qualification Stats on the WEB or in the Director’s Book. Keep on Playing and “We’ll see you on the boards.”
I had a blast and I hope you all did, too.
Thanks Again!
David Lloyd
