📖 How to run the tourney (organizer's guide)
Take charge — put your name in as organizer (top of this page).
You can play too; just sign up below like everyone else.
Set the tourney up — open ⚙️ Tourney setup above:
singles, doubles, or teams; single or double elimination; how many boards are
free; the buy-in and how many places it pays — and if the bar is sweetening
the pot, the house kick-in per signup (it shows up everywhere the pot does). Want a signup cutoff? Start the
timer ("close in 30 min") or set a clock time — a countdown shows here and on
the TV, and signups shut themselves at zero.
Get everyone signed up — the tablet just goes to
tourney.betterdarts.ai (it lands right here). Hand it around;
each player types their name and taps their skill level.
That's their whole signup. The roster and pot build below. Put the TV on
tourney.betterdarts.ai/display.
Work the roster — on your phone, open
tourney.betterdarts.ai/admin: tap mark paid as money
comes in (a green $ shows by their name here), mark ♀ ladies to
keep them spread across teams, and give set partners matching numbers
(Steve 1 + Cole 1, Todd 2 + Stewy 2) then Save partner groups.
Make the teams — tap Generate Teams. Signups lock and
the TV spins the draw like a slot machine. Wrong draw, or someone walked in
late? Undo draw reopens signups keeping every player, payment, and
partner lock.
Start the bracket — matches get called to boards automatically.
Got spare phones or screens? Point them at
tourney.betterdarts.ai/board/1, /board/2…
and hang one by each board — each shows its own current match.
Run the matches — the admin page shows what's on each board;
when a match ends, tap who won and the next match is called up. Tapped the
wrong team? Undo it under Recent results (until a later match has
been played).
Champion! — fireworks, and the payouts are on the screen
(1st/2nd/3rd with each player's cut). Settle up, then Reset tourney
on the admin page — it asks twice, then everything's fresh for next time.
