Hanson Di stributing Company
of Bloomington , Minnesota , is
planning a $15,000 Dart Shootout to
be held in St. Paul , Minnesota , in
October 1985.
" After the tremendous success
of our $10,000 Dart Shootout in
January, we have been pushed by
our customers and the players to get
another program rolling ," says
Hanson's promotion manager,
David Gabrielli . "All of the qualifier
kits have been taken, so we're look-
ing forward to an even more suc-
ces sful event than the last. "
The January 1985 Dart Shootout
was the largest electronic dart tour-
nament ever held according to
Hanson , who is out to break that
record again, opening the five-
event pro g ram to 128 team s pe r
event.
Only players who qualified in a
location tournament, run by opera-
tors and their location owners, are
allowed into the final s. Trophies and
prizes are given out at the location
level , but to receive money, a pla yer
must compet~ in the finals.
Said Gabrielli , "The most money
won at the last event was $350 . We
believe in paying as many places as
possible instead of allowing first
place to take it all.
The official machine for the
October 1985 Shoothout will be
Idea ' s All-American Dart line , and
finalists will be playing the Masters
Out 301 (a standard 25-cent game on
the All-American machine) .

Bally Sente
appoints two distributors
Bally Sente, Sunnyvale, Califor-
nia, has appointed two distributors.
Roth Novelty Company of Wilkes
Barre , Pennsylvania , has been
appointed exclusive Bally Sente
distributor for northeastern Penn-
sylvania . " I have known Phil Roth
ever since he started with his father
Murph in managing their company,"
said Bernie Powers, director of mar-
keting and sales . " I am proud to
have Roth Novelty as a distributor
for Bally Sente because I consider
them not only c ustomers but friends .
They have always been a sound
representative for the products they
handle and Bally Sente is providing
the products people want to repre-
sent."
Franco Distributing Company,
Inc., a 57 year old distributor in
Montgomery, Alabama , has been
selected to represent the full line of
Bally Sente products. " Rubin and
Mark Fran co represent the stability
and dedication of a proven distribu-
torship . Appointing them for south -
ern Alabama and the Florida penin-
sula is like appointing an old friend .
I know they will represent the Bally
Sente line appropriately," com-
mented Powers .
