Nothing. Darts Competition is free, with no account and no ads. No payments ever go through the website.

On the home page enter a name, date and admin PIN and tap Create tournament. A 5-step wizard then asks for the format, the players and the options. Your PIN lets you manage the tournament, also from another phone.

Players scan the QR code or enter the six-character code on the home page. You can share the sign-up link via WhatsApp, or print an A4 poster with a QR code in step 5. As the organiser you can also add players yourself.

Single knockout, double knockout (with a winners and a losers bracket) and groups followed by a knockout, for 2 to 128 players. Play as singles or pairs, and choose 121, 301 or 501 and the number of legs or sets.

A free pass to the next round. A knockout bracket uses 4, 8, 16 or 32 spots. With 6 players, for example, the app fills up to 8 and two players advance without playing. Byes are spread across the bracket and go to seeded players first.

Yes. Count down from 121, 301 or 501, with statistics such as 180s, the highest checkout and averages. There is also a separate Quick match for two players, without a tournament.

You can set an entry fee and the prize split, optionally with bonuses for a nine-darter, the most 180s or the highest checkout. Payment never goes through the website: the organiser collects cash or uses their own payment link and keeps track of who has paid.

Yes. Once the tournament is running you can make a PDF with the standings, statistics and all results to print or share.
