Run darts nights at your pub.
Players sign up by scanning a QR code. When a board frees up, the next match is sent to it, and players following on their phones see which board they're on. Staff score from tablets or their own phones, and the bracket shows on your TV.
Venue accounts are coming soon. Anyone can run a tournament free today.

Common questions
Does it cost anything to run tournaments at my venue?
Anyone can run a tournament free today, with QR sign-ups, check-in, walk-ins, the live link and the TV view. Venue accounts are coming soon, at $199 a year per venue. Venues that start in the first three months pay $60 a year for as long as they stay on the plan. Players never pay to join your events.
What does a venue account add?
Tournaments run by the venue itself, several boards with each match called to the next free one, a board tablet, staff accounts, and your events listed on your venue's page. When leagues launch, it includes one in-house league of up to 8 teams.
Do players need to download an app?
No. The sign-up link and the live bracket open in any phone browser. Players with a free account can join from the link; anyone else can be added at the door by name.
What do I need at the venue?
A phone is enough to run the night. A tablet at each board makes scoring easier, and any TV or laptop with a browser can show the live bracket.
Which tournament formats can I run?
Single elimination, double elimination, round robin, Swiss, and groups followed by a knockout, for up to 32 players you add yourself or as many as join through open sign-ups, in X01, Cricket and more.
Can my staff help run it?
Yes. Anyone can add co-scorers to a tournament today. With a venue account you invite your staff to the venue: managers set up and run tournaments, and staff check people in and score matches on their own phones or the board tablets.
Can I run a private event?
Yes. Any tournament, or the whole venue, can be kept off public listings and search, while the share link still works for the people you send it to.
Venue accounts are coming soon.
