Medalist Asia-International 2010 - Final Day Roundup

On the last day of the Medalist Asia-International Tournament 2010 held in Taipei, Team Singapore made an almost clean sweep of A and B Flight Trios (no doubt thanks to much practice from our regular Trios league!)

Day 3 Roll call
B Flight Trios
  Champion - Jason Tay/Jason Chong/Desmond Goh
  2nd Place - Winson Damien/Joseph Ng/Calvin Tan
  Joint 3rd - Ng Ngak Keng/Joyce Chee/Vincent Leong

A Flight Trios

The most exciting game of the day was probably the A Flight finals. It was between the Singapore team of Kent/River/Bryan against the Taiwanese team of Cheng Sheng-Jen/Chang Chi-Chung/Kang Ling-Yuan played on stage. It was a level fight, with each team taking turns to win a game. In the last choice game of 01, all players from both teams could not check out, bungling simple dart checkout and raising the excitement and tension of everyone watching. Finally after rounds of bust, Bryan checked out with a simple 9, and the trios champion trophy went to Team Singapore!

Also on this day, in the Asia Pride Cup event, Team USA beats past champion Team Japan to grab the 4 foot giant trophy. Paul Lim defeats Watanyu of Thailand to take the Grandmasters' Singles title yet again.

In his closing speech, Paul Lim on behalf of the organisers, thanked all the players and country distributors for attending the event and especially the local Taiwanese players who supported and help made the event possible. Almost every Singapore player wins something on the last day and the happiness was evident on their faces. Though the event had come to a close, everyone had definitely enjoyed themselves and we would like to thank Medalist Japan, Medalist Taiwan and the Taiwanese darters for hosting us and making this event a successful and memorable one. Xie xie ni!
