What a Fiesta party it was! Yes, the Super League Season 7 Fiesta party touched down like a whirlwind and swept us around and finally left and I finally had time to properly rest and sit down to write about it now. Sorry for the delay :)
The biggest, most fun, most challenging, most exciting darts fiesta party took place last Sunday, 6th July, 2014 at the Furama City Center Hotel ballroom. Well, it was the best darters party of the year as it was announced that the Fiesta will not be a twice-a-year party any more . Yes, unfortunately due to a variety of reasons, the Fiesta party will be changed to an annual party starting from this year. Therefore we had to party harder this time around to last for a whole year !
Right from the start, the Fiesta promised to be a popular event as all 450 paid tickets were snapped up within a few days of it being released. Due to space constraint of the hall at Furama City Centre Hotel, no new tickets could be issued. That would probably mean we can look forward to a bigger venue next year to house more darters! More people usually means a bigger, better show because the cheers would be louder too!
As the halls were also used before the Fiesta for the Super League Season 7 SKO Tournament, there was very little time to dress up and turnaround the hall. But the team managed to pull it off very well. The seating were re-arranged, a disco sound system and laser lights were installed and hall lights dimmed down and suddenly, the hall was transformed!
Before the start of the event proper, there were various game booths players can visit to try their hand to win some freebies. As soon as the main doors were open, players streamed in to "chope" (reserve) their seats for the best view of the stage. The next queue that formed was for the drinks, as everyone who bought the tickets can collect 3 drinks.
The Fiesta's favourite Emcee, MC Kin started off the event with the favourite event of the night that everyone can have good fun - the Best Jersey competition. Well, this year, it evolved into a talent-time show as contestants are given one minute on stage to put up any performance they wish to. And it was a huge hoot going by the laughters in the hall. We had a she-male on stage who is "too sexy for you", a male stripper who exposed his boxers (not sure what has that got to do with the jersey), a few groups of dancers complete with props and selfies posers. Everyone had a jolly good time laughing
The first main event of the night was the Super League Cup finals between iDarts Dragon and KDT-魂. The iDarts Dragon team had their other iDarts teams cheering them on while KDT had their own supporters from Krugers Pub. After the teams' video profiles were played on screen, both teams had their Grand march-in, accompanied by their own pre-selected music. iDarts Dragon , from S2 Division, was led by team captain, Soh Wei Kio while the S3 division KDT-魂 was led by captain Bernard Choong. The game format was best of 3 medleys, handicapped. Although the teams were from division, but the performance they put up on stage was thrilling as every single medley went into the third decider leg. iDarts Dragon took the first medley, but KDT-魂 managed to stage a comeback and won the second medley on the 3rd leg. In the 3rd decider leg of the 3rd medley, both teams fought house by house, none was leading very far from the other. But a minor mistake by the KDT player was all it needed for iDarts team to narrow the gap and took the lead to finish the game and win the Super League Cup Trophy!

The next game of the night was the Grand Masters Cup finals between Dartslive Official Player, Harith Lim and contender, Zac Hong. Although Zac is the underdog in this event, he maintained his cool and composure to take the first leg with a string of hat-tricks and left Harith struggling to find his initial footing. But once Harith settled down on the stage, he was in full form, sweeping aside any resistance from Zac and took the next 3 consecutive legs to finish the game 3-1 in quick time to win the Grand Masters title for the second time.
After the games were done, the prize presentations and lucky draws proceeded. The stage antics of the best jersey nominees also entertained the crowds with humorous performances. The iDarts team finally won the award by showcasing all 4 variations of their jerseys with a choreographed dance movement. There was also a surprise wedding proposal on the stage (she accepted!) , lots of cool and expensive dart sets and dart accessories given away in the lucky draw and a surprise birthday cake and song for Dartslive Official Player, Cathy Leung who is a first time visitor to Singapore and the Fiesta. Cathy Leung was obviously an attractive hit at the Fiesta as she was constantly asked for pictures and autographs. She summed up the whole Season 7 Fiesta on stage when she said "This is the Fiesta with the most PASSIONATE darters that I have ever been to" and she would definitely want to come again soon. And everyone cheered back in agreement!
