SEDA A and Tuesday-B Bud Cup winners to be crowned next week

 Saipan Electronic Dart Association’s 2011 Bud Light Cup in its A-Division and Tuesday B-League classes will start next week, while the C-Division tournament is about to enter its semifinals on Wednesday.

The final table is set for the A-Division title on Monday and features top-ranked Mixed Blood Shooters 1, out of D’Pirates Bar, against fifth place Proofers, of Jonny’s Bar & Grill’s.

Meanwhile, the B-Division finals are scheduled to take place on Tuesday and is highlighted with seventh-ranked Jonny’s Strike Force taking on the winner between the red hot No. 3 Mixed Blood Shooters 2 and fifth place Kamote’s Shawarma Boys of Es’y Kitchen.

Lastly, the C-Division semifinal matches break on Wednesday and includes the Sparks as the newly hailed top contender up against fifth-ranked Oh! MG of Naked Fish Bar & Grill, in addition to eighth-seeded Jonny’s Night Hawks taking on last place World-B of Gaia Bar.

On Monday, visiting Mixed Blood 1 brushed off No. 4 Celebrity, 9-4, while the Proofers pummeled No. 9 Troubleshooters, 9-3, at Wild Bill’s Bar & Grill to advance to the championship match.

It was a race to nine with the A-Division scores sheets structured as a best-of-17 series. Teams take turns competing in a variety of games that keep players on their toes.

Last Tuesday, Mixed Blood 2 dethroned top-ranked and sister team Sabalu Boys, 8-5, in a home draw and look to be the team to beat.

Still they have to get past Kamote’s who took out No. 6 Jonny’s Dosukebe Boys after the latter enjoyed a bye through the first round.

Whichever team they face, it would serve as a hefty feat for Strike Force, who advanced to the finals over No. 9 VFW Post 3457-Assashunz, 8-3.

It is a race to eight in B-League play with the scoring system set as a best-of-15 game series.

Meanwhile, Wednesday’s C-Division is entering its semifinal round as No. 4 Sparks hosted second place One Shot, of VFW Post 3457, and pulled off an impressive 8-4 upset to initiate a changing of the guard heading into the semis.

Oh! MG advanced over D’Pirates Lucky Shot, however details were not made available. Similarly to the B-League, C-Division matches are formatted as a best of 15-game series.

Eighth-ranked Jonny’s Night Hawks upset No. 7 Joe’s Steakhouse’s I Like It, 8-6, in a home match, while last place Gaia’s World-C pulled the rug from under No.9 and sister team Gaiana-B, 8-6.

The C-Division finals are set for Jan. 11 at a location still to be determined.

In addition, SEDA organizers want to remind all members that its 2011 Summer/Fall awards banquet for all divisions will be held at 10:30am on Jan. 22 at Pacific Islands Club’s Charley’s Cabaret.
