Have You Suspended Your Season?

Available Now

See your league portal for a new “Season Status” setting.

IMPORTANT:

To support Team Practice Groups (see below) all leagues with a 2020 season have been extended to 31-July if your original end date was prior, but you must still mark the season suspended. If you have already closed your season in the league portal, we have updated your season to “Suspended” with an end date of 31-July and no action is required on your part.

Available on the “Season Settings” Page

Open League Portal

➥ To remove access to league match play in the Scoring App, suspend your season.

➥ Team Practice Groups remain available even when a season is suspended.

➥ To regain access to league match play in the Scoring App, resume your season.

When you are able to restart your season, please inform us of the new season dates, so we can adjust your contract end date and ensure uninterrupted league play. Send this information directly to Mark Lehman at mark.l@dartconnect.com.

DartConnect COVID-19 League Relief Program

While COVID-19 has ceased in-person darts around the world, DartConnect is ready to support you through this difficult time.

Keep league members engaged during lockdown

Four weeks ago, we began a series of initiatives to enable leagues to maintain a relationship with their players during this period, at no additional cost. We hope these new online programs will allow you to keep darts, and more specifically, your league, relevant until in-person play resumes.

We’re in this together

As a small business, we have taken a chance, but we feel the expense and risk is an investment in our mutual future. Perhaps these programs will ultimately increase the value proposition leagues offer to players. Darts competes with many activities for time and mindshare. Promoting the game is job #1.

More ways to play league darts

Online darts has exploded worldwide, presenting a great opportunity for your league to help players participate in this phenomenon while keeping your organization front and center. Together we can provide an easy way to connect with teammates and keep them engaged until we return to in-person competition.

In addition to the option of starting an online singles league, DartConnect has developed two FREE programs for team league players:

New! FREE Team Practice Groups (Available starting 04-May-2020)
New! FREE Online League Tournaments (Coming Soon)

The following email announcement will be sent directly to players on 05-May-2020:

First season with DartConnect?

Read the essential things new leagues need to know to get started on the right foot:

Overview

Combined with the scorekeeping application and DCTV, your League Portal provides you with simple, yet powerful tools to monitor and manage league activities.

In addition to making your job easier, we strive to provide strategic information that can guide decision making in important categories such as player and team ranking, participation, history, handicapping, all star reward/recognition and many other areas.

Please follow the information and instructions on this page to learn more about how to take full advantage of your DartConnect League Portal.

Know Your DartConnect Vocabulary

There is no such thing as “standard” darts terminology, and even experienced veterans confuse the words we use to describe a darts competition.

Below is a quick explanation of how DartConnect uses the following important darts vocabulary:

MATCH = A competition that is made up of one or more sets that results in a winning player or team when finished (or a tie if applicable)
SET = A subset of a match that contains one or more legs. Players must remain the same for each leg within a set, but can change when a new set is started.
LEG = An individual “round” of a specific game such as 501 or Cricket. A set can be made up of a single leg, multiple legs or “best of” a number of legs.
GAME = the type of darts game being played such as “501” or “Cricket”

A MATCH is made up of SETS that contain LEGS of one or more GAME types. A leg consists of ROUNDS where each opponent has one TURN of up to 3 Darts.

“Opponents” are defined as the players competing during a given Set or Leg. If the player line up changes for either side, a new set begins. Opponents can be Singles, Doubles, Triples, Quads or Teams (5 or more players per side).

Helping League Teams & Players Get Started

Are your league members inexperienced with DartConnect? Several resources are available for helping teams and players get on board quickly.

Put a link on your website or Facebook page that goes to our Player Help & Resources, including:

Understanding Master Dates

NOTE: The “Master Dates” process has been replaced with the new “Calendar” page features. To learn more about this update (See October 2019 Updates section) – Click Here

Inside the “Season Settings” section of the league portal, Master Dates control access to your league, so it’s very important that you understand how Master Dates behave and how you can control them.

IMPORTANT: Make sure you have your Regular Season and Post Season start dates set at the beginning of the season. If dates are not finalized and you use placeholder dates, you must remember to update these dates to make sure your teams and players don’t lose access to the league inside the scorekeeping app.

DartConnect Agreement – This date range starts with the first day your season became accessible, and ends with the final day when access to your season is turned off. Only DartConnect can control these dates. If you ever need your date extended, make sure you contact DartConnect right away.

Regular Season Start Date – This is the first day that matches can be played in your league. On this day, a Green Button will appear inside the league section of the app allowing access to the new season for league matches. League Admins can set this date themselves to anywhere within the agreement date. Note: This date can be overridden at the division level.

GREEN = Regular Season Button:

Post-Season Start Date – If your league conducts post-season playoffs, this is the first day that a playoff match can be played in your league. On this day, a Gold Button will appear inside the league section of the app allowing access to the post-season. It is important for playoff matches to be played with the Gold Button in order to access playoff team rosters, any special playoff match format and for match stats to be separated from the regular season. League Admins can set this date themselves to anytime after the regular season start date. Note: This date can be overridden at the division level.

GOLD = Post-Season Button:

Running the Division / Post Season Audit Report

From the control panel in the “Activity” section, running the Division or Post Season Audit Report will give you a summary snapshot of your division settings.

Run this report after you’ve finished setting up your season to check for:

# of teams/players
Season Dates

To run the report:

In the control panel, under “Audit Reports”, select “Division” or “Post Season”

Below is a quick explanation of how DartConnect uses the following important darts vocabulary:

MATCH = A competition that is made up of one or more sets that results in a winning player or team when finished (or a tie if applicable)
SET = A subset of a match that contains one or more legs. Players must remain the same for each leg within a set, but can change when a new set is started.

A MATCH is made up of SETS that contain LEGS of one or more GAME types. A leg consists of ROUNDS where each opponent has one TURN of up to 3 Darts.

“Opponents” are defined as the players competing during a given Set or Leg. If the player line up changes for either side, a new set begins. Opponents can be Singles, Doubles, Triples, Quads or Teams (5 or more players per side).

Team Eligibility

Introduction

Vocabulary:

Post Season Group – For post-season competition, each regular season division must be assigned to post season group. More than one division can be assigned to a “PS Group”.
Eligible Teams – League admins determine which teams are qualified for post-season play, by marking the red check box.
Ineligible Teams -League admins determine which teams FAIL to qualify for post season play, unmarking the red check box
Division Rank – Based the amount of league points accumulated by each team, each division ranks teams accordingly.
Post Season Finish – League admins can designate where a team finishes in the post season competition, or simply mark them as “eliminated” as the post season progresses

Most leagues use the amount of league points achieved throughout the regular season to determine eligibility. The teams with the minimum rank as determined by the league, advance to post-season play.

Important: Teams marked as ineligible will be removed from post season groups and will not appear in the scoring applicaiton.

During the post-season, the league admin can mark the finish of each team and DartConnect TV will display each teams finish until a winner is identified. Admins have the option of designated a team’s finish according to their bracket placement, or simply marking them “eliminated”. The league portal has business rules in place to control the number of teams for each finish (i.e. only 4 teams can be marked as quarter finalist after that round has been completed).

Control Panel

Filter Options:
- All Teams, Eligible Teams and Ineligible Teams
Hide Ineligible Teams
- Use this feature to hide/unhide ineligible team
Search Options:
- Divisions, Team Name, Post Season Groups
Eligibility Tool:
- Enter the minimum division rank required to qualify for post season play – this will list all teams that FAIL to meet the criteria.You can now mark individual teams as ineligilbe.
- When the eligibility tool has a value in it, the check mark in the header becomes bright red button. Use this to mark/unmark all the teams that appear in the list.
- Use this in conjunction with search and filter functions to expedite post season eligibility

Page Overview

Navigation

Division Rank (Rank) = This displays the divisions standings from the regular season as determined by the league portal Season Settings. If rankings appear incorrect, ignore rankings and mark the correct teams as eligible. Consider changing the Primary Ranking for divisions standings to “None” to list eligible teams alphabetically.
Eligibility Roster (E.Roster) = This displays the number of eligible players. Rosters that have player marked “ineligible” will be highlighted in red. Click the player count to view the team roster.
Post Season Finish = Select [Set] to label a team’s post season finish. Select a finish to relabel or undo. DartConnect has logic in place to control the number of assignments per division.
Reference Columns = DartConnect lists league points and season record for additional reference.

Identifying Ineligible Teams

By default, all teams in all divisions are marked as eligible for post-season play. Utilize the search and filter functions to organize and identify teams according to division or post-season group. Eligible teams will have the red box checked and maintain a black typeface.

Ineligible teams are removed from the scoring application when checking for updates.

Pro Tip: Selecting the column header “PS Group”ranks all teams according to their regular season division ranking, while grouping them according to their PS Group assignment. Use Hide/Unhide Ineligible Teams to view a concise eligibility list.

Eligibility Tool. If your league uses division rankings to determine post-season eligibility, DartConnect makes this end-of-season task effortless.

First, determine which teams you want to work with. You can work with all teams across the league, or by searching for a specific division or post-season group. Then use the Eligibility Tool to enter the minimum division ranking to identify teams that do not qualify, followed by the search command. You can now review the list of ineligible teams.

Marking ALL Ineligible Teams: When the Eligibility Field is populated, the “check mark” in the header transforms into a bright red “button”, enabling you to mark/unmark all teams that do not meet the criteria entered into the Eligibility Tool.

Should your league utilize different rankings for different divisions/groups, conduct this same process in two passes: First, select the minimum ranking required of ALL divisions, deselecting all of these teams with the check mark button. Then conduct subsequent passes, utilizing the division search to filter on each division that has a varying requirement to identify the incremental teams that do not advance.

Note: If your league uses win loss record, you can sort by this column to organize and remove ineligible teams, in conjunction with the filter and search functions.

Final Review: Utilize “Hide Ineligible Teams” in conjunction with sorting by the Post Season Group column to provide an overview of your eligible team list by each group.

Player Eligibility

Introduction

Vocabulary:

Post Season Group – To manage post-season competition, assign one or more divisions to a “Post Season Group”.
Eligible Players – The universe of players who qualify for post-season competition. For most leagues, this requirement is determined by the number of matches played during the regular season.
Ineligible Players – The universe of players who DO NOT qualify for post-season competition.
Match Count/Matches Played – The number of matches played during the regular season.

Most leagues require players to compete in a minimum number of matches during the regular season, to be eligible for post season play. DartConnect tracks match participation and posts the number of matches played. League admins can review and identify ineligible players utilizing this page.

Important: Identifying players as ineligible DOES NOT remove them from the team roster on the scoring application to avoid eligiblity mistakes that could prevent the match. However, ineligible players are identified in the post season section of DCTV and should they compete in a match, the match will be flagged in the activity report. *

Identifying Ineligible Players

By default, all players on all teams are marked as eligible for post-season play. Utilize the search and filter functions to organize and identify players by division or post-season group. Eligible players will have the red box checked and maintain a black typeface.

Ineligible players are NOT removed from the scoring application to ensure match play can occur in case of an eligibility mistake. However, ineligible players are marked in the post-season of DCTV and should they compete in a post-season match, it will be noted in the league portal activity report. *

Pro Tip: Selecting the column header “PS Group” ranks all players according to their regular season match count, while grouping them by their PS Group to provide you with an overview. After identifying ineligible players, use Hide/Unhide Ineligible Players to view a concise eligibility list.

Eligibility Tool. If your league requires players to compete in a minimum number of matches to participate in post-season play, utilize this tool to effortlessly identify ineligible players according to division, post-season group or across the entire league.

Then use the Eligibility Tool to enter the minimum team ranking to identify all the players that do not qualify, followed by the search command. You can now review the list of ineligible players.

Marking ALL ineligible players: When the Eligibility Field is populated, the “check mark” in the header transforms into a bright red “button”, enabling you to mark/unmark all teams that do not meet the criteria entered into the Eligibility Tool.

Then conduct subsequent passes, utilizing the division or post-season search, followed by entering the requirement variance in the Eligibility Tool. The incremental universe of ineligible players will be available for review.
