Last weekend, the first season of the Championship Darts Latin America and Caribbean (CDLC) Tour kicked off. Through a cycle of four tournaments, darters from South America and Latin America compete for a spot at the World Darts Championship.
The first two tournaments were played in the Costa Rican city of San Jose. The field of participants consisted mainly of darters from Costa Rica, supplemented by some players from Chile, Panama, Argentina, Brazil, Ecuador, Nicaragua and Guyana.
In the end, it was two contestants from Guyana who managed to claim the leading roles. The first tournament was won by
Norman Madhoo, who defeated his compatriot Sudesh Fitzgerald 6-3 in the final.
The two darters from Guyana then met in the second tournament at the last sixteen. This time Fitzgerald prevailed 6-5. Fitzgerald then made it to the final match again, brushing aside Alex Gutierrez 6-2.
