NISEKO DARTS 2011

Welcome.

Children.

This is your Dartmaster.

For many years there has been a tradition. A tradition carried on by an elite few. A select core forming one body, amassing together to become one, joined in unison at the dart.

Welcome to Niseko Darts.... You are disciples of darts. Tamashii - your temple.

And I am your Dartmaster.

Clasp firmly your shafts. Embrace the board - Be The Dart.

I hereby anoint you - disciples of darts.

Stand by for more form your Dartmaster. Season draw will be posted soon check it out at nisekodarts.com or @ The Temple.

Niseko Darts 2010/11 @ Tamashii

This is The Dartmaster.

And you – are my disciples of Darts. Take this word and go forth my precious, tell one and all that the time has come. In but a few days the doors will be flung open, the slander will begin, and so it shall be... the official commencement of Niseko Darts for 2011 shall be instated.

This coming Tuesday will be the first evening where all that reside in Hirafu shall meet in what has become the true soul of Niseko. This year will mark the 5th anniversary of Niseko Darts and as Dartologists we are honored to return to our holy land, our Mecca, the original Holy Land of Darts... Tamashii Bar.

Like all good holy lands it has been taken over and renamed something completely different by it's new rulers, but the floor is still the same, dart hole riddled timber, the drinks still contain alcohol and more importantly – it's all ours once again. From humble beginnings in Pow Pow 5 years ago we have become a unified race, united under our religion of Darts. Now it is time to convert the new, bring them across to our ways and help them to know the all seeing bullseye – It is time once again for Niseko Darts.

Tuesday the 7th of December shall be know from here on as the date that registrations shall be lodged for teams. Starting from 7pm Tamashii will open to Dartologists only – A special pre season night to allow all those darting to throw a few spears, swap criticism, banter and register witting and clever or just plain pathetic team names. As of Friday the 10th Tamashii will open as the battle ground for Darts every Tuesday and Wednesday night. (Yes we are the guinea pigs for a test opening for Tamashii Bar this Tuesday – Y500 drinks on Registration Night to get you lubricated!!)

This summer has seen the Niseko Darts Draft swap Paul between many teams, only to go back to his beloved cradle of bravedartvader members – undoubtedly the favorites once again. Yas has agreed to play in every team on every night. NISS have more teams lined up than ever. Shukin has pulled in and out of his team 15 times after a alleged falling out of team members that shall remain nameless. Paul B, Mac, Chris P, Chookoo, and several other sharks are still un-signed players and Tuesday is set to be a mad shuffle of players to build the most elite team possible. Sekka are set to step onto the dartfloor for the first time with 'Soaring Arrows' – a rotating team of sekkajins. Lady Cycle have pre-registered and are set to take alcohol fueled mayhem to the next level. The NMS underdogs are back, the paralizer is still compulsory and B-Grade Darts is seemingly the most popular night where all those with greater drinking ability than darting prowess are set to strut their stuff.

This year will run as per every other.

2 nights, 8 teams per night, 4 players per team (yes you can have subs but only 4 can play on any night). Places are limited so get in on Tuesday, tell your friends new and old that this is it - registration time!

TUESDAY NIGHTS – A GRADE
7pm - 2 games
9pm -2 games

WEDNESDAY NIGHT – B GRADE*
7pm - 2 games
9pm - 2 games

*No actual darts skills required.

Registration is Y10,000 per team and that gets you fed each week and gives The Dartmaster some cash to buy cheap and nasty prizes for the end of the season.

Prepare your souls, sharpen your shafts and open your minds disciples as we set forth into another season of Niseko Darts.

The Dartmaster.

The Niseko Hirafu 4th Annual International Darts Grand Slam! Season 2009-2010!

ouuuugghhhhahh.

There is a recommended daily intake of Parliazers which, once exceeded may result is pains throughout the body, nausea, fatigue and general misery for the subject. Symptoms include; memory loss, red and sore eyes (similar to having very dry, fine sand tipped into you eyes and then blinking repeatedly), stomach ache, vomiting (see example: Red at the bar last night - straight onto the floor!! - gross! and yes there are photos), head ache, throat ache, coughing, spluttering, slurring, blurred vision, talking absolute shit to everyone, pissing off the balcony at bills, doing random dumb shit, dressing us as a sheep and waking up thinking you acted like a complete gentleman all evening. Remedies vary and range from several cold beers, to lying in bed feeling sorry for one's self, pain killers (lots of), more beers, a visit to Bills to find your darts and hopeless wandering around the house. Recovery time also varies but is most likely accompanied with; a pledge never to drink again, asking around to find out how you got home, several trips to seicomart and a couple to Lawson, some juicy fried chicken and then a complete reversal on you pledge and a repeat of the afore mentioned actions.

Pissed By The End - yes, weren't we all. Friggen heck!! The aptly named team of chino wearing instructors were the epitome of true sportsmen (whist playing darts - afterwards they were a complete bunch of pissed human wrecks) as they punched their way to victory in 5 games. A four-nil win over the 'desperately close but not close enough' Humphrey Bodart. With every game coming down to 1 dart on the double Humphrey Bodart were able to coax but one game from PBTE who snuck over the line with brilliant accuracy and deft digits!

Huge gratitude and thanks go out to Jay who did a bloody awesome job on the score board (no pressure!) with but a few miscalculations quickly corrected by the angry mob held at bay by MC 'get ya fuckin' dart on' Lachie.

Lachie. - Do we thank this guy or thank ourselves lucky that it's only one night of the season that this guy gets a microphone? The dribble of pure scorn and persecution was outstanding with no one safe from the onslaught of the overall wearing jugganaught. Believe it or not he actually was at the bar warming up with jagers before any one turned up. The commentary made the final only more disastrously loose as people turned to the drink to drown their sorrows as Lachie pointed out every failure, lack of dress sense, inappropriate action and generally told everyone how shit they were because he had the mic and they didn't! And yes T-roy is a 15 year old trapped in a 35 year olds body.... can't wait to pass the parcel at his 40th!

42 Below will never be invited back after releasing farm animals into to bar, filling them with vodka and then proceeding to take hundreds of photos some of which included some weird mating rituals on the back deck of Bills.

As the mic was put away and the evening placed in the safe yet lethal hands of Brett and the bills bandits things got a little less serious (about darts) and a little more serious (about drinks) and it all started to take form as the night of the season began.

Paralizers old and new went out to the winning and losing teams...... then it all went absolutely T-roy shaped.

Congratulations Pissed By The End - Big Phil, Scotty, Leif and Beno.... Niseko Hirafu International Darts Grand Slam Premiers 2008-2009!!!

Dartmaster signing off for the season.

So long and thanks for all the 2am trips to Lawson!
