Follow these steps

Step by step

1

Open the league and choose Create season.

2

Enter the season name, start date and end date.

3

Choose the scheduling style: fixed dates or flexible rounds.

4

For flexible rounds, choose Auto rounds to release one round at a time or Plan all to open every generated matchup so players can work through several rounds when available.

5

Set Times each pair meets. Use 2 for home and away.

6

Choose the individual game format: First to, Fixed total legs or Flexible score.

7

Set the starting score: 301, 501, 701 or 1001, and choose whether double-out is required.

8

Choose whether live scoring is enabled, required and available in detailed dart-by-dart mode.

9

Choose venue, online or hybrid play, and whether external results are allowed or need proof.

10

Set the league points, bonuses, tie-break order and no-show policy.

11

For a team season, set the line-up pool, minimum roster, match card sections, player reuse, substitutes, guests and team confirmation policy.

12

Press Create season.

After completing the steps

What happens next

The new season stays in Draft. Add players or teams, generate the round plan and activate only after checking the rules, bye rotation and release mode.

Troubleshooting

Common problems

!

Rules are locked: the first score has already been submitted, so Dartscores must preserve the competition calculation.

!

The minimum roster rises automatically: the match card needs enough unique players to fulfil its sections.

!

External averages are missing: Dartscores does not estimate statistics that were not supplied.

!

Plan all is not visible to players: confirm that the season release mode was changed and that the fixtures were generated.
