A total of nine countries will be competing at the South Pacific darts Championship in Suva next year.

According to Suva darts president Edward Roxburgh, more countries are expected to join over the next two months.

He also mentioned that two teams will be selected in November to represent the country to the championship.

To help with selections, Roxburgh says they will be hosting dart tournaments over the next few weeks, from where selectors to choose players for the national sides.
