Double Trouble is a fast, focused checkout trainer for darts players. No scoreboard, no opponent, no fluff — just you and the finish. Pick a target from 2 to 170, throw your darts (up to three, last one always a double), and Double Trouble tells you instantly whether you checked out. PRACTICE MODES • Streak Mode — no timer. One miss ends your run. How far can you go? • Timed Challenge — 60, 90, or 120 seconds on the clock. Clear as many checkouts as you can before time runs out. • Checkout Browser — every standard finish from 2 to 170, with the preferred route and every valid alternative laid out per number. BUILT FOR REAL PRACTICE • The full scoring board — all 62 segments plus undo — is always on screen. No scrolling, no menus mid-throw. • Route ranking respects how you actually like to finish: set your preferred order of doubles in Settings, and every checkout suggestion adapts to you. • Track your accuracy trend, best streak, and weakest checkouts over time so you know exactly what to drill next. Double Trouble works entirely offline. There's no account, no login, and nothing ever leaves your phone — your practice history is yours alone. Available in English and German.

Tap any match to enter the score - Bracket Maker updates the results and keeps the tournament moving. CHOOSE YOUR FORMAT • League phase - one table for everyone, opponents drawn from seeding pots, then a play-in and a knockout for the top places • Swiss - players meet opponents with the same score each round, ranked with Buchholz tiebreaks • Single elimination - one loss and you are out, with an optional third-place match • Double elimination - a losers bracket, so nobody goes home after one bad match • Round robin - everyone plays everyone, once or home and away, with a live standings table • Groups + playoffs - group stage first, then a knockout bracket for the ones who made it Draws count wherever a table decides, with your own points for a win, a draw and a loss. A match can be a single game or a best of three, five or seven, entered set by set. A bracket that holds up: byes are handed out evenly at any number of participants, seeding is respected, and the double elimination bracket avoids early rematches. Got a result wrong?
