Since Regent Sports announced their new affliate sponsorship program with four major tournaments during the Fall/Winter 2003-04 event season, the battle for the trips to Las Vegas has been exciting. Regent Sports announced in the Nov/Dec BEN, Volume XXIII Issue 6, that the top male and top female darters who earn the most BEN Pro Ranking Points from the 501 singles of the four sponsored tournaments will receive an all expense paid entry into the 2004 Las Vegas Desert Classic III, including round trip travel, accommodations (based on double occupancy), and Halex® branded tournament apparel to wear during this nationally and internationally televised event. The four tournament with Halex® associate sponsorships were:

    Choo Choo Classic      Nov 15-17 $15,000  TN
    The Pennsylvania Open  Jan 9-11  $27,110  PA
    The NY/NJ Open         Jan 16-18 $10,000  NJ
    Easy Money Open        Feb 13-15 $10,000  KY

With Regent Sports’ new affliate sponsorship program for the Fall/Winter 2003-04 now complete, the battle for the Halex® free trips to Las Vegas for the 2004 Las Vegas Desert Classic III has been determined.

AHalex BEN Pro Rankingst each of the four tournaments, players were introduced to the new Halex® BristleTech BTX-22 electronic dartboards that accept both steel and soft-tipped darts. The interest and enthusiasm for the Halex® Cybermatch Challenge at the Choo Choo Classic was reported in the Jan/Feb BEN Volume XXIV Issue 1.

That interest continued at the Pennsylvania Open, New York/New Jersey Open and at the Easy Money Open. The unique feature of these electronic dartboards is that players can use either soft or steel darts of any weight. For a $1.00 contribution, players received a chance to win one of several prizes offered and they had the chance to try the board. A $3.00 contribution for an attempt to beat the CyberPro in cricket offered them a chance to win one of the 3 styles of Halex® BristleTech electronic dartboards present at the booth.  At total of $1 ,862 was raised at the 4 tournaments for the various charities each tournament contributed to.
