Sound familiar?
Running darts tournaments shouldn't be this hard
Oche assignments cause confusion
With multiple boards running simultaneously, players lose track of where they are playing next. Manual board lists on a wall get outdated the moment a match finishes early or runs long.
Leg and set tracking is error-prone
Best-of-five legs, best-of-three sets, round robin with carry-over points — tracking all of this on paper across 8+ boards at once leads to missed results and incorrect standings.
No central view of live results
Players and spectators crowd around a single noticeboard. There is no way for people to check results from their phone, and the organiser has to manually update everything between rounds.
How it works
Three steps to a better tournament
Configure your competition
Select your game type — 501, cricket, or custom — and format: single elimination, double elimination, or round robin. Set leg and set counts, and specify available oches.
Players register and get drawn
Share a registration link. Players sign up, pay entry fees, and get seeded or randomly drawn into the bracket. Byes are handled automatically for uneven fields.
Run matches with live oche assignments
As legs and sets finish, enter results and the draw updates instantly. Players see their next oche assignment on their phone. Standings and averages update in real time.
Formats
Every darts format, covered
Single Elimination (Best-of Sets)
Classic knockout bracket with each match played as best-of sets, where each set is best-of legs. The standard format for PDC-style competitions.
Round Robin Legs
Every player faces every other player in a set number of legs. Final standings based on legs won, leg difference, and 180s count. Ideal for league nights.
Double Elimination
Players need two losses to be eliminated. Winners and losers brackets run in parallel before merging in the final. Gives everyone at least two meaningful matches.
Group Stage + Knockout
Players are divided into round robin groups, then top finishers from each group advance to a single-elimination knockout phase. Balances game time with event length.
Cricket Countdown
A cricket-specific format where players compete to close out numbers and score points. Works as knockout or round robin depending on event size.
