The boards enter their own results
Every board has a phone next to it showing only the match being played there. One tap on the result and the next two players are already up. Got it wrong? Correcting it is just as easy.
Tournament software for a night of darts
darttournament.app runs a complete darts tournament in a single evening. Paste the names, say how big you want the groups, and the rest is there: fixtures, board assignments, standings and the knockout bracket. The phones by the boards enter the results and the big screen tells the room where everyone should be. Nobody has to sit behind a screen all night — least of all you.
What the room sees — On the boards
This is what goes on the projector. Light rather than dark, because black turns grey on a projector in a lit room. The results you see here were really thrown. More about the big screen
Every board has a phone next to it showing only the match being played there. One tap on the result and the next two players are already up. Got it wrong? Correcting it is just as easy.
The big screen cycles between the boards, the group standings and the bracket. Anyone who looks up knows within seconds whether they are on, and against whom. Nobody comes over to ask when their turn is.
Paste the names straight out of the group chat — numbering and dashes are stripped for you. Groups, fixtures and board assignments appear at once. Someone turns up late? Move them to another group before you start.
This is not brochure copy. It ran a full evening with 23 players and 63 matches across four boards, and that is also where it broke and got fixed. See what that night turned up
A group draw on paper works right up until someone drops out. Then the fixtures no longer add up, a player is down for two boards at once, and somebody has to redo the maths while the room stands waiting. Correct a result afterwards and the standings quietly stop matching what was actually played.
A spreadsheet can do the job, but only one person can be in it. Which means somebody sits behind the laptop all night — usually the very person who wanted to throw. And one wrong formula only shows up when the table stops making sense.
Here the laptop works out the standings, the tiebreakers and the board assignments, and four phones enter results at the same time. The organiser glances at the screen now and then, like everyone else.
One night or every Friday — the difference is how often you use it, not what you get. The offline edition is included with the club plan.

The version that runs on your own laptop, no internet and no account.
The first real evening ran in August, on one laptop in a barn. Now we are building the version you can run too: in the browser, with your own boards and your own screen. Leave your email address and you will hear when it is ready.
We use your address for one message: that it is ready. No newsletter, and we pass it on to nobody. Privacy statement
