I was at one of the tournaments that took place Saturday, and thankfully ended before the “weather” set in in central PA.  At the inaugural “Winter Classic” held at Dorko’s Cafe in Mt. Carmel, 3-man teams gathered for a tournament.  There was a 110 point cap per team, with averages taken from the State tournament, the Nationals Tournaments, and then League events.

While everyone enjoyed their time shooting darts, meeting freinds they seldom see, and even making new friends at the event, darts were in the air, and shooters were still shooting to win.  Several shooters had excellent days, with high games of 57 (Ed Dormer) and 56 (Joe Swatski).  

As teams advanced in the brackets, it seemed as though two particular teams had hot hands and would be destined to meet in the finals.  And, that’s exactly what happened, with the team of Doug Troutman/Damien Zigler/Nate Dobek taking on the team ”on the perch” of the winner’s bracket, Dennis Conti/Joe Swatski/Joe Zaharik Jr.

When the dust settled, one team stood at the top of the hill . . .  

Dennis Conti – Joe Swatski – Joe Zaharik Jr.

By all accounts, the Dorko’s Winter Classic is shaping up to be a regular stop on the tournament tour, and by taking the title in the first ever running of the event, these shooters have etched their name in record books.
