ADO AREA III YOUTH TOURNAMENT UPDATE
This is the latest information that I have on the 1998 Area III youth tournament. As mentioned in the previous bulletin, the tournament will be held in Houston Texas on June 20th. The location of the tournament is at the Compaq Center (formally known as the Summit), the arena that the Houston Rockets Basketball team, the Aeros hockey team and the Houston Thunderbears arena football team play in.
The youth tournament is being offered as part of a package plan. The plan consists of the following:
The arena will become available at noon, June 20. I would like to start as soon as everyone is signed up, certainly before 1pm. The blind draw tournament is scheduled to start a 1pm.
Cost of the package is $11.00 (plus $5.00 to play in the blind draw). As mentioned before, the American Darts Organization is going to pick up the $11.00 entry fee to those youths entering the youth tournament only. Family and friends accompanying the youth players must pay the $11.00 entry fee, and if they play in the blind draw, the $5.00 entry fee for that.
As before, the entry fee for the youth tournament is $35.00. The winner of this tournament will win a trip to Las Vegas in August for entry into the National youth tournament taking place at the North American Open. The age requirements are as before, the youth must not be 18 before January 1st, 1999. Boys and girls play together.
I must have the entry fee monies and a listing of participants by Sunday, June 7th. This is so we can purchase the tickets and get them back to you in time for the trip.
As this type event can draw the media, both printed and television, a dress code will be enforced. PLEASE don't travel a long distance and not be able to play. Cut-offs, pants with holes in them and tee shirts with inappropriate pictures or words will NOT be allowed. The better we look to the public the better it is for all of us.
I am including a flyer put out by the Thunderbears for those players not involved with the youth tournament. If you would like to come to play in the blind draw and watch the football game you can use the entry form on the reverse of the flyer. Remember though, those involved in the youth tournament MUST send their entries to me. If you are not pre- registered in the youth tournament, you will not play. Make all youth entry fees payable to the ADO. Make the other entry fees payable to the Houston Darts Association. You can still send them to me and I will forward them on in time for you to get your tickets.
I'm trying to add to the youth tournaments, hopefully making them more fun to enter, both for the youth players and those who have to haul them around. I hope this meets with everyone's approval. Next year I hope to have the tournament at NASA, at the Johnson Space Center. I'm still working on that one, trying to get some bugs out.

The Houston Darts Association has been invited to hold a $500.00 blind draw tournament prior to a professional Arena football game with the Houston 'Thunderbears' and they have graciously invited the ADO to hold the area youth tournament at the same time. The starting times have not been established yet, but the tentative schedule will be as follows: First will be the ADO youth tournament.
Hopefully we will start around 10:00am to 10:30am. The Houston Darts Association Blind draw tournament should start about 12:30pm and finish around 4:30pm to 5:00pm. During the blind draw tournament the Compaq Center will supply free pizza and soft drinks. Prior to the start of the football game there will be an awards ceremony on the field announcing the winners of both the youth tournament and the blind draw tournament.Those people who have entered either the youth tournament or the blind draw tournament will have special seating for the football game. After the game there will be some guided tours and hopefully player meetings. Also tentatively scheduled after the football game is a party/rock concert. This will be only for the dart players and their parties. What does all of this cost? Well the youth tournament entry fee is still $35.00. The winner goes to Las Vegas in August for entry into the youth National tournament at the North American Open. Entry to the Compaq Center, parking, the football game and the events following is $11.00. The entry fee for the blind draw tournament is $5.00. The American Darts Organization has decided to pay the $11.00 for each of the youth dart players who enter the Area youth tournament. Parents who come with the youth players will be required to pay the $11.00 entry fee and those who come for the blind draw tournament will be required to pay the $11.00 plus the $5.00 blind draw entry.
Now the catch. I must have the entry fees for all of the youth players and the people coming with them by June 1st. This is required by the Arena operators so the tickets can be mailed out. As more information becomes available I will endeavor to get it out to all of the clubs and those youth players who have expressed an interest in coming. I can be reached at 281-392-0103 in the evenings, 281-392- 0190 for fax or for the internet at KVGP42A@PRODIGY.COM. Because of the location and type of event, a dress code WILL be enforced. Please don't come a long way and not be able to play.
