Event Services

Depending on your familiarity with DartConnect and the level of service you require, we have options for you to do-it-yourself or have DartConnect onsite to provide services (subject to availability).

First-time events are complimentary (excluding on-site services).

New to DartConnect?

Don’t have experience with DartConnect scorekeeping? A local league may be utilizing it, and experienced DartConnect members will be bringing their own tablets. With just a few tablets, you can score random matches, along with the semi and final competition.  DartConnect may be able to support you with onsite services or do-it-yourself event starter kits.

Submit an event request form and we’ll be in touch with you soon.

Want DartConnect to Attend? What are DartConnect Onsite Services?

With DartConnect Onsite Services, a DartConnect representative will attend your event with at least 10 tablets to loan out to players.   We will conduct player workshops, train staff, troubleshoot WIFI issues, and be available to score for semis and final matches.  Costs for Onsite Services vary based on travel requirements.

Ready for the next level?

Have a vision for DartConnect at every board?  This is already happening at major tournaments in New England (50+ dartboards) and very achievable for smaller events.  If you are willing to commit to making this happen we will help you do it as efficiently and cost-effectively as possible.

Submit a event request form and we will contact you to discuss options.

Tournament services can be utilized by having a tablet on the finals board and asking DartConnect members bring their own tablets – this how many events are run. We strongly recommend involving local league(s) that have experience with DartConnect. This guarantees a base of users with tablets and expertise.

How do we mount tablets on the scoreboards? If your portable dart stands do not have chalk/eraser shelf, DartConnect can provide tablet hangers that can be used at the event, raffled or even sold to players. Any unused quantities can be returned. Contact us for details.

If someone will be providing multiple tablets, we can provide a tournament log in, to simplify event set up (DartConnect Members can access the tournament with their own accounts)

DartConnect is designed to run offline, and anyone with an active membership can bring a tablet to an event and utilize the scoring functionality.

However, WIFI is required to link devices to a common event code, so that the event player roster can be shared, matches can be broadcast on DCTV, and the event leaderboard can reflect player performances.

Should WIFI fail during the event, DartConnect will continue to operate, delaying the delivery of match reports and results until wifi is restored.

The first step is filling out an event request form (see below).

The second step is properly promoting the event, and letting attendees know that this is a DartConnect Event. By filling out the application at least two weeks in advance, we will do our part, by listing your event on DCTV and social media. Event Check-in begins the Monday before your event.

It is critical that you promote this on social media by providing a direct link to our web page. This will pay dividends in increasing attendee awareness and pre-building your player event roster.

DartConnect’s “How to Events” section provides information for both new and experienced players. Include our link in your promotion and correspondence to get players up to speed before the event start date.

Although we do not provide video streaming services, many tournaments intergate DartConnect into their video stream to provide a professional broadcast. We can consult with you and put you in touch with other tournament organizers and service providers who can advise you on best practices for providing a live video stream at your event.

If you have not used DartConnect for your event before, DartConnect will arrange for a free trial.

In addition, if you are a Partner League, you receive two basic events per season.

If you are a returning event, please fill out the request form & we will reply with your Event Set Up Fee

DartConnect representatives are available for a handful of events every year.

The two key factors are scheduling and travel related expenses. Contact us early, and if scheduling allows, we will determine how we can work together to mitigate the travel expenses.

• Select opponents for each side of the scoreboard.

Tap multiple opponents to play doubles, triples, etc.

• When picking players, pick one team from the list on the left and one team from the list on the right.  Selected players will be highlighted with a red background and their names will appear at the top in gold.

• Reset picks or tap a player again to deselect them.

• After confirming the correct players are selected, select “Cork for Start” or “Start Game”

• Pick the number of legs for this set and if applicable, the respective Money Round

• Now choose the starting player or team and begin play

Note: If the device is not connected to WiFi Internet, the player roster will not be updated (See: How to connect my device to the WiFi Network)

First, double check that the player is missing: 

• Tap the red “Update Roster” button to make sure you have the most up to date roster.
• If the list exceeds 50 names, it will be broken out by last name–tap the letter in the center column to jump to matching last names.
• Drag on the black area in the center to scroll longer lists.

If the player is confirmed missing:

• Tap “Player Lookup” and follow the on-screen instructions.
• If a player match appears in the white box, confirm identity by email address and tap the name to add them to the roster.
• If no match appears, add them manually by tapping “Player Not Found…Add A New One”.

Note: E-mail addresses can’t be shared by players and must be unique.  Players can be entered without an email address but will not receive match reports or appear on leaderboards.

DartConnect displays the options for each set before the match begins so participants can verify or change if necessary. If the participants, game, or number of legs is incorrect, simply tap the incorrect variable, and adjust it as needed.

Once a leg is underway and you notice something incorrect, you can still make a correction by selecting either BACK or CANCEL to access the settings for the leg.  If a turn has already been recorded, tap the “X” on the red bar, delete the leg, and start over.

Note: Deleting the leg will erase the scoreboard. If you want to preserve this, record it (take a picture) and recreate it when you return to the leg.

If playing more than one leg, after the first leg is completed, you will see a green button on the next screen for starting the next leg.  Depending on the event match format, this button may be labeled with one of the following:

• Cork for Start – allows you shoot for bull and select the bullshot winner to go first
• Alternate – automatically starts the next leg with the opposite starter of the previous leg
• Select Starter – allows you to pick which player/team will shoot first

For doubles, triples and quads, at the beginning of the leg, all names will appear on the scoreboard in gold buttons.  Tap the buttons in the order in which the players are shooting.

In subsequent legs, if the player order doesn’t change, you can tap the green button “repeat throwing order” instead of re-picking players.

See the wrong name appear for your turn? At any time during the leg, tap the player name field to access the gold name buttons and correct the player order.

When the final leg is over, the end of match screen will appear with the final score.  You can choose to save the match by tapping the “Save Match” button, or the match will autosave after a 60 second countdown.

Once the match is saved you can review the end of match summary and then tap the “New Match” button to reset the device for the next match on that board.
