The version for clubs
The 'Club' version is intended for competitions played 'within' a small or medium-sized dart club (a large dart club with multiple licenses would also work fine with this system). On this page you will find more information about the capabilities and features of this system.
The WebDarts environment
To be able to play games with the WebDarts system, you have to log in to a specific page (which can be 'www.webdarts.nl/clubname'). Each system has multiple users and they can have different permissions. Basically there are three types of users: players, managers and administrators. Managers have the same capabilities as players, plus a few extra features. Administrators have the same options as managers, but again a few extra functions.
After logging in, the menu is shown, below an explanation of what you can find in the most important sections.
- Home
If necessary for the competitions being played, you will find a table here in which you can indicate which players are or are not present (see further below, under Different types of competitions) - Planning
On this page you will find the games that have been played today and games will be played next - Board
On this page scores are entered and others can view live scores - Rankings
This page shows rankings based on previously played games - Options
Here you can adjust settings that affect the display or entry of data (per user)
If a user is logged in as a manager or administrator, one or two additional sections are available that offer more settings. These settings will affect all users (see below).
Different types of competitions
The current system offers the possibility to play different types of competitions:
- Round Robin
Each player plays all others once - Allyear
Everyone plays against all others all year round, the oldest games are overwritten (the ranking is always complete) - Knockout
Everyone plays at least one game, winners go through to quarter finals, semi and final - Poules and cross finals
The competition starts with matches in two or more poules, the best players advance to a series of finals - Couple darts
The competitions above can be played with individual players or with couples
Multiple competitions can be played in a WebDarts environment and managers and administrators can set which players compete in each competition. For certain competitions the administrator can determine whether an attendance table is required. When that option is activated, the presense can be set on the Home page. The planning page will only show games for which both players are present.
Functions for players
To play a game, a game must be selected on the Planning page. The game is then played on the Board page. The players can enter the scores themselves, or a third person can do this. The players can play together in a single location, or then can play from two locations. When a game is being played, spectators can view live scores from this page as well (from another screen and/or another location).
If a tablet or computer crashes, or if the internet connection is lost during a game, that's no problem. The scores up to that point have already been saved. Once the computer is restarted, the game can be continued starting from the last entered score.
To prevent incorrect input as much as possible, the scores are validated before they are saved. A score of 181 is not possible, but a finish of 169 is not accepted either. A score of 32 when there are only 16 points left, will result in a score of 0. Previously entered scores can be undone, up to the start of the leg. The winner of the bull and each finish must be confirmed (check). Once confirmed, the scores for that leg are final.
During a game, statistics will be shown at the end of each set or leg. At the end of the game, statistics of the entire match are shown as well. The Ranking page shows positions on the basis of all completed games. This page will also show various statistics, such as 100+/140+/180 scores. The system offers multiple options for calculating the average scores and finish percentages. The administrator can change these settings, see below.
Functions for managers
If a user is logged in as a manager or administrator, they have an extra section in the menu (Manager) and through that section the following functions are available:
- Closing last tournament
A manager has the authority to start a tournament but also to close a previous (incomplete) tournament - Editing competitions
A manager also has the power to edit the basic characteristics of a competition, for example the number of sets or legs per game - Selecting players for competitions
A manager can temporarily switch players on or off for a specific competition (when a player is cleared, the rankings will change accordingly) - Start a new tournament (3 or 4 steps)
A manager can start a new tournament, select players for that tournament, etc. - Decide a draw in a tournament
After a series of matches are played in poules, there may be a draw. The manager can then enter a decision via this function
In summary, a manager has certain powers that are necessary for organizing a 'normal' evening at a dart club. If something needs to be done that requires more privileges, the manager can enlist the help of an administrator. But of course the system can also work without managers, but you will need one administrator at the very least.
Functions for administrators
If a user is logged in as an administrator, they have an extra section in the menu (Admin) and through that section the following functions are available:
- Editing competitions
An administrator can adjust more characteristics of a competition compared to a manager, for example how to deal with players who are not present and how stats are calculated - Clearing or Removing Games
An administrator can clear specific games (so that they can be played again) or remove data from entire tournaments from the system - Clearing or Removing Scores
An administrator can edit scores of games currently being played - Setting Player Status, Name and/or Color
An administrator can change existing players' status, name or color with which it is displayed (the colors of the names are purely visual ) - Adding Players and Games (for players)
An administrator can add players and add games for those players if a tournament is already being played
There are quite a number of options that the administrator can set for each competition. Among those are options that deytermine how average scores and finish percentages should be calculated. These settings affect how scores should be entered. For example, it may or may not be necessary to enter how many darts were used (1, 2 or 3) for a finish. Those settings are made by the administrator.
Last but not least: the administrator has the option to export data to csv files. The purpose of this fiunction is to enable offline backups, but these files can also be opened in Excel. Either for further analysis, or to import data into other systems.
