Ventured out to Hongdae yesterday to play in a darts tournament.  First time in that famed bar district, although on a Sunday afternoon it was relatively quiet.

Hongdae street scene.

The Beer Box hosted the tourney.  Not a bad place to spend some time chucking the arrows.

Getting warmed up for the main event.  Blind draw Doubles 501 was the format, double elimination.  There were a few of us miguks out from Itaewon, a large contingent of Filipinos, and of course some quality Korean players.

Things started off on a winning note as me and partner Jeremy defeated a strong team of Korean HK and Pinoy Rey.  We weren’t able to maintain that level of play however and wound up meeting HK and Rey again in the losers bracket where they achieved revenge in a hard fought battle.

My sweet dart widow Jee Yeun was there to cheer me on and she also pitched in by scoring a couple of matches.

Jeremy and I didn’t make to the money round but we had a lot of fun and threw a lot of darts, so it was a good day.  I stuck around to play in a singles tourney.  For some reason I was put in the “A” division group.  I managed to win a couple of matches but quality prevailed in the end as I was dispatched by superior players.

I didn’t play like Jindogae for the most part.  My game seems to be generally improving.  Let’s hope I can carry that forward in league play tonight.
