The Partners Promoting Darts TOC Qualifiers are done, and the Finales are set!

We had twenty of our eligible NLA dart shooters earn their vouchers and compete in the 4-series Qualifiers over the last few weekends. Of those twenty, TWELVE of them landed a spot in the Finales for their chance to compete for the big bucks at the Tournament of Champions in Kansas City!

A job well done by the 20 players who fought their way up the ranks to earn their Qualifier vouchers! And a huge Congratulations goes out to our 12 Finale finishers!

With over 30 NLA players making the trip to Kansas City in October to compete in various Singles, Doubles, and Triples events, these twelve individuals will get a shot at the Finales and hopefully bring home a big check to show off their hard work and dedication to the sport they love. And who knows- maybe we'll get to see another NLA shooter's face on the dart boards again for the second year in a row!

We continue to grow our participation and make our mark on the PPD scene as legit contenders. The more participation we get, the bigger the benefits we see! With the new TOC season on its way, now is the time to get involved and find out what NLA and PPD can do for your dart game! 🎯
