The team is composed of Masters division players Jayson John and George Sablan Jr. of the Jokers Darting Chelu’s and Jeffrey Barit of sister team Scratch ‘N’ Sniff. They are hoping to leave for the tournament on Aug. 6 and are expected to be back on Aug. 11. Besides suiting up for the CNMI, the three players will also represent the Saipan Electronic Darts Association in the inaugural international darts tournament.
The trio will be up against teams from host Japan, the Philippines, South Korea, and a number of powerhouse European squads. More than 200 players are expected to compete in the two-day soft darts event.
Meanwhile, the team will hold a fundraising event tonight at the Jokers Bar & Grill behind Lollipops in Garapan and right across McDonald’s. Tickets cost $10 each and the event is from 6pm till closing time.
Jokers Bar is the supporter of the 13 teams that competed in different divisions in the recently concluded 2015 Bud Light-SEDA Winter/Spring season and has four squads in the Budweiser-Saipan Billiards Association Tuesday and Thursday Open 8-Ball leagues.
