Popdarts is scored by rounds of throws with points for closest to the target and bonuses for trick shots. Enter each round and the scoreboard keeps the game score, result and standings current.
Turn on ScoreMagic™ to record every dart rather than just the round result — that is where the Popdarts stats come from: dart percentages, trick shots and points per round, live during the event and in each player's profile afterwards.
Score however fits your event: the organizer enters rounds from the admin screen, a tablet at each station runs an interactive scoreboard, or turn on Player Scoring so players submit from their own phones.
