Formats that work for darts
Pick the shape of the night; Scoreholio generates every matchup
Blind draw doubles
Random partners drawn for the night, then round robin or bracket play. "No Crybaby" mode avoids repeat partners across weekly draws.
How it works →Switcholio
A different random partner every round with individual standings — nobody is stuck on a losing team.
How it works →Double elimination
Everyone gets a second life. Winners and losers brackets with best-of options for the finals.
How it works →Round robin → bracket
Round-robin play for seeding, then the top players move into a championship bracket.
How it works →Swissholio
Swiss-style pairing: each round you play someone with a similar record, so the tournament stays competitive to the end.
How it works →Set-schedule leagues
A weeks-long league with the full schedule up front and stats carried across the season.
How it works →Scoring, your way
Whether you play 501, cricket or a best-of-legs match, Scoreholio tracks the match result — legs or games won — and turns it into live standings, seeding and bracket progression. Set best-of series for bracket rounds so the finals play longer than the early rounds.
Score however fits your venue: the organizer enters results from the admin screen, a tablet at each board runs an interactive scoreboard in kiosk mode, or turn on Player Scoring so players submit from their own phones. Remote Mode controls every connected scoreboard and TV from one place.
Win–loss records, point differential and head-to-head history save to every player's profile, and an SPR (Scoreholio Player Rating) carries across events.

Common questions
How many boards do I need for 32 players?
For a blind-draw doubles night, 32 players is 16 teams — eight boards keeps every team playing each round; four boards works with two flights. The tournament calculator estimates total time from your player and board counts.
Can players keep their own partner?
Yes. Use Set Teams for pre-formed teams, Blind Draw for random fixed partners, or Switcholio if you want partners to rotate every round.
Does it run double elimination?
Yes — single elimination, double elimination, round robin into a bracket, ladders and Swiss-style pairing, up to 128-player brackets across up to 128 boards.
How do players score — do they need the app?
Three options: the organizer scores from the admin screen, tablets at each board run interactive scoreboards, or players score from their own phones with the free Scoreholio app (Player Scoring is part of the Competitive organizer level and up). Live standings show on any TV either way.
What does it cost to run a darts tournament?
The Social organizer level is free forever: round robins and brackets, digital scoreboards and dashboards, up to 8 courts and 32-team brackets. Competitive ($4.99/month) adds player phone scoring, game timers, custom alerts, live chat support and advanced stats; higher levels raise the court and bracket limits.
