Winmau, the world’s leading darts brand, is delighted to announce their partnership with soft tip giant DARTSLIVE.
DARTSLIVE are manufacturers of the very finest, cutting-edge soft tip dartboards and are huge in their native Asian market. They have also recently launched their own i Darts Bars, which are trendy outlets that became a favourite destination for soft tip players overnight.
DARTSLIVE are now increasing their global presence and Winmau will be working with them in a strategic alliance that will ensure the soft tip side of the sport is introduced to new players and that the message is reinforced to the millions of loyal soft tip players around the world.
As part of the agreement, Winmau will be an official sponsor of THE WORLD. This is the largest soft tip tournament on the planet with a first prize of 1 million Hong Kong Dollars (approximately £85,000). Last year’s event was won by Japan’s Takehiro Suzuki.
Winmau’s World Champion Mark Webster has been selected to take part in the SUPER DARTS 2013 made in DARTSLIVE event, which pits 16 of the world’s top players against each other on 7th April in Hong Kong.
THE WORLD and SUPER DARTS 2013 made in DARTSLIVE will be broadcast live via dartslive.tv
Masahiro Honda, CEO of DARTSLIVE EUROPE, said “Winmau and DARTSLIVE are two global giants that have always worked in harmony previously. However, now we have come together to jointly further soft tip darts across the world and this can only benefit the players, the associations and the tournaments. We have so much in common and both have a genuine passion for the sport of darts. Winmau’s official sponsorship will see both our brands and the soft tip darts scene taken to new levels over the coming years.”
Ian Flack, Sales and Marketing Director of Winmau, added “The growth of the soft tip game has been nothing short of astronomic in the last few years, and DARTSLIVE have been at the forefront of this amazing increase. Their soft tip dartboards are technological marvels that not only allow players to use the best possible equipment in the same room as another player, but to connect anywhere in the world with another DARTSLIVE machine via the internet. Soft tip has always been a big part of our business, but with the new official sponsorship of DARTSLIVE it will become even more important in the future.”
