Abstract

A league and tournament system (10) is disclosed which includes a centralized league machine (12) that transmits data to one or more of a plurality of electronic dart games via modem (16) or using a wireless portable data storage device (22). Transmission of information from the electronic dart machines can be via modem, facsimile transmission, or using the portable data storage device. The electronic dart machines (14) are configured to receive and utilize league and tournament database information from the league machine for a variety of purposes, including automatic implementation of player handicaps, automatic control of match play, and team and player registration using the dart machine. The dart machine has a monitor that displays context sensitive menus using information obtained from the league or tournament database. The dart machine includes a barcoded card reader (32) that permits identification of league and tournament participants using bar code cards.
