PubDartsManager.com is built for pub organizers who want to run a live darts tournament without the chaos of paper match notes and constant shouting across the room. It puts the whole event in one place, so the tournament “runs itself” once you’ve set it up. You simply enter the players’ names and email addresses, choose your tournament format, and hit Start—then you’re ready to play.

What makes it easy is the flexibility: you can run a straight knockout, or add a losers bracket (B-round) so players aren’t immediately done after one loss. You can also start with a pool/group stage (typically groups of 4 or 5) and then move into a knockout phase, which fits most pub nights perfectly. The organizer chooses the match format, including “best of” how many legs, so the event can be quick or more competitive depending on the crowd.

The group standings logic is clear and automatic: points for match wins, then leg difference, then head-to-head, and if needed a 9-dart shootout. The biggest practical win is communication: players get emails on their phone telling them when they have to play, so you don’t have to announce every match. In the pool format, those emails can also include useful details like which lane/board to use, who the marker/writer is, and the selected leg format.

Players can follow the tournament progress through a web page, which keeps everyone informed and reduces “when am I up?” questions. There’s also an option to post darts blogs about the tournament, turning a simple pub event into something people can look back on. At the end, results can be downloaded, making it easy to archive the night or share standings.

The pricing model is straightforward too: a small per-participant fee depending on whether you run knockout, a losers round, or pools. Overall, the site is “easy” because it standardizes the setup, automates the bracket/group logic, and handles player notifications—so the organizer can focus on the atmosphere instead of administration.
