Powerscoring
Powerscoring is plain darts scoring practice. Every dart counts what it hits, and there is no checkout and no bust. Score as many points as you can in ten minutes, or with a set number of darts. Sridu shows your pace, your record and every visit as you throw.
- Play against the clock or a set number of darts
- Your pace, and what a new record needs, after every visit
- Every visit drawn as a bar, plus a count of your 60+, tons, 140+ and 180s
- A separate record for every setting, alone or side by side
- The whole board by default, or only the 20s or the 19s, with an optional visit minimum

The rules
How a run works
Playing side by side, you share one clock and take turns, or everyone throws the same number of darts. Whoever scores the most points wins. On a tie, fewer darts decide, then the best visit.
- Pick your limitThe default is ten minutes on the clock. You can also play a set number of darts, such as 99. The clock starts with your first dart.
- ScoreEvery dart scores wherever it lands. You add points instead of counting down, so you can never bust.
- Keep goingThrow visit after visit while the clock runs or you have darts left. The visit you are throwing when time runs out still counts.
- Beat your recordYour total is your score. Sridu keeps a separate best for every time limit, dart count and variant.
In the game
Always know how your run is going
Pace matters in a scoring session, so the app keeps it on screen:
- The limit as a bar: the clock ticking down, or the darts you have left, right under the turn panel.
- Your pace: “On course for 1850” projects your total from your scoring rate so far. It turns green once that beats your record.
- What a record takes: with a set number of darts, the panel shows how many points per visit you need for a new record, or that the record is out of reach.
- Your record in view: the top of the panel shows your record for this setting and your three-dart average. Once you pass the record it reads “New best”, and a callout marks the moment.
- Every visit as a bar: the bigger the visit, the brighter the bar, and a 180 shows in gold. Underneath is a count of your 60+, tons, 140+ and 180s.
- Every dart shows its score: “+60”, or in the variants “off target” and “under 60”.
- The big moments: a ton, 140+ and 180 get a callout, just like in X01. In the last minute, or on your last visit with a set number of darts, the panel turns amber.
- Side by side: the panel shows how far you are ahead of, or behind, the best of the others. The caller calls every score.

The clock or the darts
Ten minutes is the default. With a set number of darts, every session is the same amount of work:
- 10 minutesDefaultAnna · Ø 51.2Record 174004:12
On course for 1500
- 60+7
- 100+2
- 140+0
- 1800
Choose 5, 10, 15, 30 or 60 minutes. The clock starts with your first dart and runs down in the panel. Side by side, you share one clock and take turns until it runs out. The visit you are throwing when time runs out still counts.

Every player gets the same number of darts: 30, 60, 99 or 150. The panel counts them down and shows where your average is heading and what you need per visit for a new record.

With under a minute to go, the clock bar and the whole panel turn amber, and a callout marks the moment. With a set number of darts, the same happens on your last visit. Your record turns amber as soon as your pace beats it.
Setting · Scoring area
The whole board, or one number
The classic version counts every point. Narrow the scoring area and every stray dart costs you:
- Whole boardDefault+66
- T20+60
- 5+5
- 1+1
The classic: every point counts, wherever the dart lands. Nothing on the board is highlighted, because every segment scores.
- 20s onlyHarder+80
- T20+60
- 5off target
- 20+20
Only the 20 counts: single 20, double 40, treble 60. The 5 right next to it scores nothing. The 20 is highlighted on the board so you can see what counts.
- 19s onlyHarder+76
- T19+57
- 7off target
- 19+19
The same on the 19, the number to switch to when the 20 bed is blocked. Each scoring area keeps its own record.
Setting · Visit minimum
Make every visit count
The minimum is off by default. Switch it on and a weak visit scores nothing:
- NoneDefault

- Visit minimumNone (the default), 60+ or 100+. See visit minimum.

- Who throws firstThe first player in the list, a bull-off, or random.
Tips
Tips for darts scoring practice
- Keep a steady rhythm. Against the clock, rushed darts cost more points than they save time. Check the pace line to see if you are on course.
- Compare with a dart limit. 99 darts is the same workload every day, however fast you throw, so your average is a fair measure from one day to the next.
- Switch when the 20 is blocked. If a dart covers the treble 20, move to the 19 instead of forcing it. The 19s only variant is there to practise exactly that.
- Try the 20s only. You soon see how many points you lose to the 1 and the 5. This variant has its own record.
- Train the third dart. With a 60 minimum, a good last dart can still rescue a visit that started badly.
- Chase the record, not the clock. Once the panel shows “New best”, every extra visit pushes the record higher.
