Darts-Specific Notes

• Scoring: Legs → Sets → Match
  • Leg: A single game of 501 — first to reach 0 wins
  • Set: Best of X legs (usually best of 5 = first to 3 legs)
  • Match: Best of X sets (varies by tournament round)
• Score fields use period1 through periodN (representing sets)
• Categories are primarily England (ID: 261, PDC events) and International (ID: 104)
• Key statistics: 3-dart average, 180s, checkout %, highest checkout, 100+/140+ counts

UI Design Ideas

• Score display: Show sets and legs — “Van Gerwen 7-5 Price (Sets)” with current leg score underneath
• Live scoring: Show remaining points per player (e.g., “141 remaining”)
• 180 counter: Prominent display — fans love this stat
• 3-dart average: THE key performance metric — show prominently
• Checkout highlights: High checkouts (100+) are exciting moments
• Tournament bracket: Use /knockout for draw bracket — critical for major tournaments
• H2H: Important — use /match/{id}/h2h
• Daily Modus Super Series: 50-100+ matches/day on weekdays
• PDC calendar: World Championship (Dec-Jan), Premier League (Feb-May), World Matchplay (Jul)
