Note: Player selections, including last minute changes, can always be updated in the scoring app before or during the match.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ):

• Who can create a player lineup?
  Either the captain or co-captain can. Both can view the current state of the lineup from their respective MyDC accounts. Should neither captain be available to create a lineup, they have two choices:

  1.  Forward the reminder email to a teammate (who will be able to access the Captain’s account, without a password).
  2. Instruct a teammate to manually create the lineup in the scoring app

• When should captains create the player lineup?
  A player lineup can be created or edited at ANY TIME in your MyDartConnect account. The link provided in the Captain’s reminder email is just a timely reminder. In fact, a player lineup, can even be started on one device (PC), and completed on another (phone).

  Important: The player lineup remains in “MyDartConnect” until the captain selects “SUBMIT”.

• When can the other team see my player lineup?
  The opposing team CANNOT see your player lineup until BOTH teams have clicked the SUBMIT button.
• What if one team does not/cannot submit their player lineup online?
  You should still submit your lineup online. The opposing team will be required to manually select players in the scoring app. If your lineup is “in the blind”, we recommend posting a paper lineup for that team, next to the tablet.
• What if I need to make changes after the lineup has been submitted?
  Once the SUBMIT button has been selected, captains CANNOT make online lineup changes. HOWEVER, lineup edits can still be made in the scoring app before each set is played.

  When the app prompts the scorekeeper to confirm the set lineup, select the option to change the player(s). The lineup change will be noted in the match report and the league will be notified of the substitution.

• Does the scoring app require WiFi to receive the player lineup?
  As you may know, the scoring app does NOT require WiFi to process a match. However, to receive an online player lineup, the tablet MUST be connected. Once the tablet receives each lineup, the match can continue offline.
• What if teams are shorthanded?
  When a captain does not have enough players to field a full match, they must insert a “No Player” placeholder into the lineup where required. If an eligible player becomes available, they can be manually added during the match, in the scoring app. For leagues that do a random draw, each team will submit the same # of players. If league rules permit, teams can assign additional players manually for the remaining sets.

Special Situations:

Does your league only allow partial lineup submission?

For leagues that only allow partial lineups to be submitted, captains will be able to set lineups for some or all segments in advance and then may submit lineups for additional segments as the match progresses.

Does your league play “two matches” with a break in-between?

For leagues that play a single match on separate days and use the AMB “Match Break” feature (common for many team league postseason formats), captains will be able to submit their lineup for the first half only and then may submit the lineup for the second half after the first half is completed.

Does your league play a “tiebreaker” set?

For leagues that use the AMB “Tie-Breaker” feature, the tie-breaker set will only appear in the scoring app when required.  Setting the lineup for the tie-breaker is optional and may instead be done in the scoring app when needed.  This may only be applicable to post-season matches but some leagues may opt to use this for regular season.
