Calendar – On this page you can control the start and end dates for your regular season and playoffs (if applicable).

DartConnect Agreement – These dates represent the day your new season was activated and the day it will expire.  Customers CAN NOT change these dates. If you need an adjustment, such as having your end date extended, contact leagues@dartconnect.com.

NOTE: Standard league seasons are limited to 6 months (24 weeks). If your season needs to run longer than 6 months, contact leagues@dartconnect.com.

Do you have a Post Season? (Y/N) – If your league conducts a post-season (aka “Playoffs”), select “Yes” to fill in the Post Season Start date, otherwise select “No”.  Learn More

The following dates can be changed at any time within the Agreement dates:

• Division Overrides

Note: Changing the Start Date or Season Length will automatically adjust the Season End Date.

Season Start Date – Your start date should be the first day that matches will be played.

Post Season Start Date 

• When you select “Yes” for “Post Season”, the start date will automatically default to the day after your regular season ends.  This can be edited to a later date if necessary.
• When the Post Season begins, the following will occur:
  • Inside the app, a Gold button will appear on the League page labeled “Post Season”. For post-season matches, teams/players should use the Gold Button instead of the Green button to identify the match as a playoff match.
  • The Green button can be removed from the app by going to the Division page and clicking the red button “End R. Season” (see picture below). Do this ONLY if you are certain that all regular season matches are completed.
  • Post Season Matches will be filed on DCTV and the league leaderboard as “Post Season” and stats can be reviewed separately from regular season or combined.

  • “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).

If you’ve completed two or more seasons with DartConnect, you have the ability to estimate team skill level based on 3-dart averages for 01 and Cricket. This can help you improve division balance between teams.

Before running this report, consider utilizing the estimated 3-dart average found in the Team and Player list pages.

Teams is where you can review your team list, add new teams or edit the settings for existing teams.

• Retire or Unretire a team

Vocabulary:

• Assigned = Active teams that have been assigned to a division
• Unassigned = Active teams that are waiting for division assignment. Use this designation if the team is skipping a season but expected to return.
• Retired = Use this designation to dissolve teams and release players for new team assignments. If this team record is reactivated for the current season, all players will need to be re-assigned to it.

• Use Red “Add Team” button to create a new team
• Use filter function to show only teams that are assigned or unassigned to divisions
