Darts, pool & cornhole league software, one system

The bar's three league nights, run by one league-night system: darts and pool team seasons, knockout cups, blind draws, cornhole brackets and Switcholio — scores reported from phones, standings kept automatically.

I'm an operator — keep me posted

Live today on Contender OS. No staff work. No paperwork.

What it is

Darts on Tuesday, pool on Wednesday, cornhole on Thursday — three leagues, three group chats, three spreadsheets. Contender OS runs all of them the same way: fixtures and brackets generate themselves, the players who played report the result from their phones, the other side confirms, and sets, legs, races, and points roll up into season standings nobody has to maintain.

How the night runs

STEPThe season or bracket builds itselfTeam fixtures, knockout cups, and pools are generated from the roster — including blind-draw doubles pairings.

STEPPlayers report the matchSets, legs, and race results go in from a phone as they're played; a fixture ends at the clinch and only played games are reported.

STEPThe other side confirmsAgreeing reports lock the result; disagreements settle by published automatic rules.

STEPStandings and ladders keep themselvesMatch points post weekly, and season ladders track singles across every night format.

What's built in

Darts team league — an 8-set card (singles 501, doubles Cricket, doubles 501, best-of-3 legs per set) with match points from sets won and legs as the tiebreak layer.
Darts nights — knockout cups with a 3rd-place playoff, and blind draw doubles in double elimination.
Pool team league — BCA-style matrix races (5-player teams race to 13, 4-player to 9) that end at the clinch.
Pool singles — round robin with a full tiebreak chain, or double elimination with races set per phase.
Cornhole — round robin pools cross-seeded into double-elimination brackets, straight double-elim, split tiers, and Switcholio with rotating drawn partners and individual standings.
Handicap races and season ladders — race formats and handicaps are config, not house rules in somebody's head.

Who it's for

Built for bars, breweries, and league operators running darts, pool, or cornhole nights — especially rooms running more than one of them, where one system replaces a different spreadsheet and group chat for every game.

How does a league night run?

Fixtures or the bracket are already generated when the night starts. Players enter sets, legs, or race results from their phones as matches finish; the opposing side confirms, points post to the season standings, and the night closes with standings and any payouts queued.
