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.

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. Showing off, basically.
