Abstract

A method and apparatus for conducting dart leagues or tournaments from multiple remote locations. Each electronic dart game is capable of receiving data from and transmitting data to player cards (60). Each dart game player has a card that identifies a player to a respective dart game, and the player card also stores player data and game statistics. A master dart game (30) is located at each location, interfaces with each of the non-master dart games (50) at that location, and stores statistical data received from the non-master games (50). The central control device (10) polls each master game (30) at a predetermined time to upload and assimilate current statistical data. The central control device (10) then calculates the current standing of each player and downloads player standings to each location. The standings of the players can be displayed at each location via a portable display (40).
