6JMS Darteros showed its mastery over fellow master darts players by topping the A+ Division of the  2022-2023 Saipan Electronic Darts Association Bud Light Dart League that held its awards banquet last Sunday at Saipan World Resort.

The septuplet of Burth “Imported” Dacumos, Eric “Last Chance” Durano, Joey Gruy, George “Horhe” Medina, Andrew “Talayeru” Prado, Albert “Just Once” Guevara, and Omar “Lover Boy” Quindoza made JMS Sports Bar proud by finishing the season with a 199-157 win-loss record for a 56% clip.

Dacumos, who is the undisputed leader of the team, attributed the team’s success to hard work and focus during games.

The Tondo, Manila in the Philippines native, who started playing darts in 1993, said 6JMS Darteros players usually practice three times before their designated game day and an hour before gametime.

Defending champion True North Mafia came in second with a  179-178 record, while 6JMS Gunners completed the Top 3 in the division at 170-187.

In the A Division, Tambayan Distorted ruled the roost with an impressive 213-132 mark, followed by 6JMS Drunken Dragons at 196-149 with Rendezvous MAFIA placing third at 183-162.

Tambayan Distorted is made up of Aldebert Lizama, Derick Ayuyyu, Garnett “Lights Out” Martin, David Buekis, Elton Santos, Tanner Maratita, David Terlaje, Jeremy Lizama, Eldin Maratita, Devon Pangelinan, and Jomar “Dart Vader” Danas. They are sponsored by Tambayan Bar and Grill.

Last Shot No Skills Just Luck, meanwhile, had the last laugh in the Latte Stone Division after winning it all with a 216-114 win-loss record. It was followed by Oleai Aimrite (204-126) and  6JMS Champinos (189-141) for second and third, respectively. 

The champion team, which was sponsored by Last Shot Bar,  is made up of David Buekis, Jose Kumoi, Jay Manas, Tanner Maratita, Garnett “Lights Out” Martin, Iran Manas, David Terlaje, and Henry “Savage” Sablan.

In the C Division, Tambayan Drunken Dartz was the only one left standing with a 218-97 record. It was actually a sweep for Tambayan Restaurant- and Tambayan Bar and Grill-sponsored teams as Tambayan Dart Hunter (204-111) and Tambayan G.V.D. Mix/C (188-127) also made it to the podium. 

The Tambayan Drunken Dartz is made up of Chris “No Luv” Yug, Jomar “Dart Vader” Danas, Jhon “Choco” Lewis, James “Chief Kang” Welly, Diego Nepaíal, Chem Kaipat, Jay Manas, and Vince Cepeda.

In the Mr. SEDA and Miss SEDA competition, Russ “Mr. Pogi” Cruz and Henry “Savage” Sablan were the former’s winners, while Frances Magofna topped the latter.

The rest of the division winners and other awards given out last Sunday during the awards banquet will be published in tomorrow’s issue of Saipan Tribune.
