[MMDL] Using DartConnect for MMDL Matches


Below is important information for teams using DartConnect for MMDL matches.  Please read through if you will be using the App for scorekeeping this season.

If you received a Free Trial and need any help in activating it and downloading the app - Click Here  (NOTE: some trial emails said "MNM" league instead of "MMDL", please ignore this and follow the instructions inside the email)

DartConnect is the only electronic scorekeeping system approved by MMDL for league use. Teams are not required to use it, but we highly encourage everyone to give it a try and to have an open mind with opponents using it. This is the future of steel tip darts and will eventually allow the league to go completely paperless.

We have created a central help page on our website with videos and printable instructions.  More will be added to this page over time.  If you have any specific questions about using DartConnect, send an email to mmdl.bod@gmail.com 


Visit the MMDL DartConnect Help Page for Videos & Other Instructions

Make sure you know how to do the following
in order to use DartConnect for an official league match:

> Access Season Pass with Team Rosters
> Selecting Teams & Players
> Picking the number of legs for each set
> Correcting Scoring Mistakes
> Ending & Saving the Match
> Shorthanded games & forfeits

IMPORTANT!  CHECK YOUR ROSTER ON DARTCONNECT!

Please note that Rosters and Player Names in Season Pass may be outdated until the league has updated rosters for the upcoming season (may not be complete until week 2 due to size of the league).  You can add teams/players temporarily for your match -- Visit the Help Page to Learn How.

About using DartConnect for MMDL:

  • During Pre-Season you can practice and play around with MMDL Season Pass and no matches will be counted officially.  We highly recommend you schedule a team practice or play a fake match inside the app to become familiar with how it works for league.
  • Rosters and even your division assignment may be from the previous season until all updates for the upcoming season are entered into the system by the league.  This may not be complete until week 2.  For your first official match, you may need to key in changes to your roster yourself and also type in a temporary team for your opponent.
  • We STRONGLY RECOMMEND the entire team watch the tutorial videos on the Help Page to make sure they understand how to use the scorekeeping system to prevent errors and ensure a smooth experience.
  • Add an email for any players that want to receive the match recaps to review the stats.  If you did not submit an email to MMDL with your roster, it will not be inside DartConnect.
Start by watching this video explaining the basics of Season Pass:

Good luck and shoot well!  Stay connected with the MMDL: Facebook | Twitter
