At the top of the page, you will see summary cards showing:

  • Total: The number of players currently attached to the tournament and the maximum allowed (e.g., 28/64).
  • Present: The number of players marked as present (e.g., 28/64).
  • Not present: The number of players not marked as present.
  • Free spots: The number of available spots left in the tournament.
  • On the waiting list: (If applicable) The number of players exceeding the max allowed, who are on the waiting list.

Player Table

The main table lists all players with the following columns:

  • Name: Player's name, email, and a star icon if they have a Dartsspace account. Players on the waiting list are indicated with a badge.
  • Present: Toggle to mark a player as present. Only present players will be included when the tournament starts.

Present & Paid Toggles

Waiting List
