The 2009 Colorado Open Dart Tournament, which begins this evening and runs through Sunday afternoon, offers steel-tip dart players a chance to snag chunks of a cash purse totaling $15,000. Open enrollment for singles, doubles and triples events in 701, 501 and Cricket mean that competitors can register up to fifteen minutes before each event. And competitors have the added bonus of potential mentoring from some of the game’s “top dogs,” Mahnken notes. “These players will often take the time to help other dart players with their game and their focus. And they don’t have to, so it’s a really cool thing.”
This year’s Open takes place at the Denver DoubleTree Hotel, 3203 Quebec Street, where it coincides with the U.S. Team National Finals, an invitation-only event. Registration fees are $15 to $45, and spectators are welcome; get a full schedule and more information at www.rmda.org/colorado-open or by calling 303-703-8248.
