1: Familiarize Yourself with Discord
Discord is a communication platform used for various purposes, including setting up matches for the DPFL Online League. Familiarize yourself with the Discord interface, noting the various channels available for users.
2: Understand Server Rules and Darts Etiquette
Read the server rules and darts etiquette guidelines, which provide information on what is suitable for their server in terms of chat and what’s not. If you have any questions, you can reach out to the admin team or anyone else by using the ‘@’ symbol followed by their name in the questions channel.
3: Setting Up a Match on Discord
To set up a match, navigate to your specific group chat. Any place where you see a hashtag or pound sign is a text chat. Click on the group chat and tag your opponent using the ‘@’ symbol followed by their username. Send a message to your opponent to discuss availability and set a match time. Remember, only the members of a specific group can see the group chat, ensuring privacy when setting up matches.
4: Using DartConnect
DartConnect is the platform used to score the matches. The DartConnect board number, which is found in the group channel description, is used for the entire regular season. Enter the tournament section and input your board number. Find the match, select the players, and choose the online option.
5: Joining a Video Board on Discord
To join a video board on Discord, navigate to the video board channel. Turn on your camera and select the correct camera if multiple options are available. If you encounter any issues, as a last resort, DartConnect video or Facebook video messenger can be used as alternatives to Discord video. However, using Discord video is recommended for immediate assistance.
6: Seek Help if Needed
If you encounter any issues during this process, don’t hesitate to reach out for help by typing “@admin” in any channel or in a private message
