It’s been a hectic year, but I’m very glad to announce the first of two updates for the UniScore website!

New Features:

Added player in-game statistics comparison so you can see who is the best at checking out, scoring high or number of time you’ve won/lost against this person.
Watch match facility new design.
In game page new design.
The ability to hide the top (title) of the site during a match to save space on smaller computers.
Added new “quick links” in the navigation to help people traverse the website.

We now have a new vote running! When starting a match would you like the option to start on a double, statistics would be separated from non-double off matches… Place your votes now at http://uniscore.unicorn-darts.com/vote.pl

The Buddies League:

Buddies League

There is a new page called “Buddies League”. Any time you play against another registered user they’ll be automatically added to your Buddies League.

Once you’ve completed a match against this person you’ll be able to see where they’re positioned in your league and you’ll be able to review details about how they’re doing better/worse than you.

New Statistics Available:

Number of legs won against each person
3-dart average
Top overall checkout

Due to the popular demand of UniScore that statistics are now updated daily.

UniScore Testers

Harry — Wed, 23 Jun 2010 11:15:34 +0000

I’m looking for a handful of people to test the new updates to the UniScore website.

We will need you to simply use the site as you would http://uniscore.unicorn-darts.com and report anything that doesn’t quite look or act as you would expect… if you would also like to post any questions or comments about the new updates that would also be greatfully received.

You will be sent details to a development copy of the website where you’ll be able to login with your own account details.

Any volunteers? Please post here.

UniScore – 10 Million Darts Thrown

Harry — Wed, 24 Feb 2010 11:15:17 +0000

Over the past short months a record number of darts have been tracked using UniScore now reaching the dizzying heights of 10 million, meaning over 4 million darts have been thrown within 3 months!

Let me take this opportunity to thank everyone who has both used the site and those who have taken an active interest in it giving their advice and support.

Legs vs Legs & Sets

Harry — Wed, 17 Feb 2010 23:08:56 +0000

This question has now come up a number of times, essentially matches in darts tend to be “X legs to a set and Y number of sets in a match”… Recently more competitions (PDC) have been “First to X number of legs” (or best of X*2+1 legs).

When I originally wrote the code for UniScore dealing with this I chose legs + sets… Now I’m not so sure, what do you think? Should I add both and let the members choose their preference or should it be left “as is”?

Please feel free to have your say either here, on Twitter or Facebook, what do you think, are there other options I’ve not considered?
