How To Run This Glorious Mess

Adding Players ➕

Hit + Add 2 More Players until the right number of empty boxes appear. Players are added in pairs because darts is a 1v1 affair and odd numbers make brackets cry.

• Minimum: 4 players (a respectable foursome)
• Maximum: 16 players (mild chaos, recommended)
• Leave a box blank and it’ll get a stock name like “Player 7”. Lazy, but allowed.
• Past players hover at the bottom — tap a face-card to drop them straight into the next free slot.

Removing Players ➖

Someone bailed? Hit − Remove 2 Players. It chops the last two input boxes off the list. Same pairs-only rule applies — see point 02’s note about odd numbers and crying brackets.

• Removes from the bottom of the list. Move names around first if it matters.
• Won’t go below 4. We have standards.
• Deleting a player card from history (the X button) wipes their all-time stats. The remove button here does not. Different beasts.

Manual Matchup Selection 🎛️

Don’t fancy the random draw? Flick the Manual matchup selection toggle on the setup screen before hitting start. Instead of the app pairing everyone off blind, you decide who throws at who — every round, all the way to the final.

Here’s how the cheating-free fix-it works:

• Toggle on, then hit Pick Matchups & Start → (the button quietly renames itself so you know it’s armed).
• You’ll land on the Matchup Picker for Round 1. The app lays out the proposed pairings.
• Tap a player to select them — every other player lights up as a swap target.
• Tap another player to swap their names. Repeat until the bracket looks how you want.
• Tap the same name twice to deselect if you change your mind. No commitment issues here.
• Hit Start Round 1 → when you’re happy. Matches kick off as normal.
• Every subsequent round opens the picker again with the winners — rearrange the semis and final to taste.

Great for: seeding, grudge matches, keeping the ringer away from the rookie until the final, or just running the bracket your way.

Match Length & Setup Extras 🎚️

• Match Length — Best of 1, 3, 5 or 7 legs per match. Bo1 for speed darts, Bo7 for grudges. First to more than half wins the match (Bo3 = first to 2, and so on).
• Manual matchup selection — covered gloriously in point 04.
• Animate — the little toggle above the player cards turns the bouncy card physics on or off. Off = calm. On = correct.
• The buttons remember your last choice per device — and the league-wide defaults for all of this live on the ⚙ Settings page (point 08).

While You’re Playing 🍺

• Single / Double / Treble — pick the ring before you tap the number. The tablet won’t guess.
• Miss (0) — for the proud throw that hit drywall.
• Outer Bull (25) and D-Bull (50) — their own dedicated buttons.
• Undo — fat-fingered a 9 instead of a 19? One tap reverses the last dart, even after the auto-submit timer fires.
• Bust — manual safety net if you dropped below zero. The app usually catches this for you.
• Checkout hints appear when your remaining score has a clean finish — and they follow your finish rule, so on double-out they always end in a double.
• The announcer calls scores, checkouts and the occasional roast. Which voice, how spicy, and how bad a round has to be before it gets personal — all in ⚙ Settings.

Free vs Full Access 💳

Every league lives in its own account — sign up, log in, and everything you see (players, stats, brackets, even the announcer) is yours alone. Nobody else’s league can see or hear a thing of yours.

• Free plan — the full scorer with up to 6 player names at a time (delete one to free a slot), settings in view-only mode, and a small ad banner at the bottom of each page.
• ⭐ Full Access — unlimited players with saved stats, no ads anywhere, the optional Mature mode (18+), and every setting unlocked.
• Upgrading takes about ten seconds: hit any ⭐ Upgrade button (settings banner or the ad bar), confirm in the checkout, and the padlocks and ads vanish on the spot.
