The following players were created or edited OUTSIDE of the League Portal. Use the action buttons below to review, approve or void the records. "Unknown Players" are temporary names that appear for that match only. They are NOT added to the team's player list. Learn More
Pro Tip: When voiding players, always review the affected match to ensure match score and league points reflect your edit. Use the people icon to access team captain contact information.
Unknown Players are temporary players created on the tablet during league match play to complete the match. These players were created without an email address, so DC cannot match them to existing player records in the League Portal. Leagues ARE allowed to confirm or create player records that lack an email address.
Pro Tip: Always strive for 100% email addresses to assure the league can directly communicate to all players when required. Do not rely on Captains to pass along schedules, updates and event information.

2 Requirements:
- Each PSG must have a start date
- Travel leagues must have a venue assigned to each playerteam.
Instructions:
- After marking ineligible teams and players, use the green "Create Match" button to map out your rounds for each PSG.
- After a round is complete, select the red "Finish" button for teams that do not advance to the next round. This removes them from the selection list going forward.
Important Note Regarding the Scoring Application:
The scoring application will list un-played matches as "white" and matches with completed match data as "grey". However, at anytime, a grey matches can be used to add match data to an existing playoff match. Players can use this if they accidently end a match or create a tie-breaker round.

Welcome to League Portal 3.0!
Released December 2021
The initial scheduling module was released in August 2021, establishing the foundation of our scheduling tool enabling leagues to reliably create a season schedule in a few easy steps. More importantly, our advanced logic accommodates leagues that have different size divisions to cross-share venues – avoiding common schedule conflicts. We hope that this initial effort simplified the effort of darts true unsung heroes: League Operators.
However, this release did not only benefit the "heroes". It also provided players with an easy-to-follow schedule format with directions and additional venue information. With the scoring application, we implemented a simple match selection interface to simplify league night match set up.
With the December release, we have extended the scheduling tool to accommodate Post Season Competition. The solution associated with this release is a temporary one, but we hope you will find it to be an improvement over the legacy process. Read on to learn more with even more to come in 2022!
But that is not all. We have listened to your feedback and instituted a powerful set of edit tools that can be used both during the scheduling process and after the schedule has been published to address teams that drop out and venue closures.
Expanded Functionality
Since August we have augmented the scheduling tool with numerous enhancements, including:
- Calendar Schedule Download option, along with match reminders
- Individual Match Editing: Resolve match conflict by changing the match date, venue, time, etc.
- Additional Audit Reports to assist with resolving scheduling conflicts
- Schedule Change Log: Keep track of your schedule editing
- Note: You can always Roll Back a Schedule if you end up too far down the rabbit hole...
- Venue Board Assignments
- Multiple Venue Sessions, enabling multiple teams to play on the same day
- Advanced Schedule Edit Tools
- Move a schedule round to another place in the schedule, including swapping
- Replace Bye with a Team
- Replace a Team with a Bye
- Replace a Team with another Team
- Calendar Editing
- Insert skip weeks
- Add calendar events for non-schedule season events (think captains' meetings, mid-season tournaments, next season deadlines, etc.)
Post Season Play: Reality check – but some good news
The enhancements we have been working on since August have limited our ability to create the post-season schedule tool we originally envisioned. We are aware that many late year, seasonal schedules are in the process of winding down regular season play, and we did not want to limit your option to the legacy process. Especially if players have engaged with the new season match listing screen.
The good news: All leagues (even those who did not use the regular season schedule) may use this feature for post season competition. Here are the steps:
- Ensure that you have the "post season”"option activated in Season Settings – this add the post season navigation tab into the league portal header
- Create your post season groups (PSG)
- Assign each division to their respective PSG
- AFTER the regular season completes, use the eligibility tool to remove the teams and players who do not advance to post season playoffs. This removes ineligible teams and players for the scoring app.
- Use the "spy glass" with each PSG to create the first round of playoffs, selecting the respective teams for each match.
- After each round, use the eligibility tool to remove teams that do not advance, to create the next round.
The scoring app will continue to list post season matches for the surviving teams.
We look forward to evolving this process in 2022!
The DartConnect Team
We are committed to providing the community with the best darts-specific platform available. The scheduling tool has further exposed how varied and unique our sport is. This process has reminded us that similarity between leagues around the globe, often ends with 3 darts and a dartboard!
Thanks for your support. All the Best!

Pro Tip: Your schedule label will display on the public schedules and copy over from season to season, so avoid using a specific season label such as "Summer 2022". Instead use a label that applies to every season, such as Tuesday or London Area, etc.
What type of Schedule would you like?
DartConnect offers FOUR manual scheduling options.
- The first allows organizers to create a competition schedule one round at a time.
- The second option will create a weekly schedule with a pre-set number of rounds.
- The third is designed for team competitions in which most/all rounds will occur on the same day, often at the same venue
All options can have dates/start times edited as required.
Note: Creating a manual schedule requires the organizer to assign each team to a match or bye for every round.

The modified bust rule is designed for leagues who require players to document which dart created the "bust". After each bust turn, the scoring app will ask players how many darts have been thrown after. This will affect player's dart averages, essentially inflating them compared to the assumption of 3-darts for EVERY bust turn.

Required Field: Post-Season GroupsBack
Each division must be assigned a post-season group/bracket/division. If you have not set up your post-season groups yet, you must do this before creating divisions.
What is a Post-Season Group?During the regular season, teams are only allowed to play teams within their own division, UNLESS your league has selected the inter-division play option.
Once post-season play begins, teams often play other divisions at some point during the playoffs. By creating a post-season group, DartConnect can associate the appropriate divisions (and the corresponding teams) to be in the same post-season listing on each device.
The default will include ALL teams from the corresponding divisions. Once the regular season concludes, leagues have the option of eliminating teams that are ineligible or fail to advance.
To ensure you have this set up correctly, run the Portal Post Season report to confirm each division has been assigned to the correct post-season group.
ExampleDuring the regular season, a Division A1 team only plays other Division A1 teams.
However, in the post season, teams from A1 may only play each other initially, but after the division winner is determined, they play other "A" level teams (teams from A2, A3, A4, etc.) in pursuit of the "A Championship".
Therefore, a post-season group labeled "A" should be created. Then every "A" division (A1, A2, A3, etc.) should be assigned to this Post Season Group. Once post season begins, all "A" teams will be available to play each other.
Note: Like a division, the corresponding proper match format and game menu must be set up as well. This can be done as a secondary step, to expedite the league set up, but do not forget!
