Built for a tournament director.

I'm Taylor Tumlin. I write software for a living — and ThrowDown exists because my friend Daniel needed a better way to run his darts tournaments.

Daniel runs Darty Boyz Amusements. He was doing what every tournament director does: collecting cash at the door, drawing names from a hat for blind draw doubles, yelling across the bar to tell people they're up on board 3. Brackets on whiteboards. Payouts on napkins. Player lists in a spreadsheet that only one person had access to.

It worked, but it was painful. Every tournament night was a logistical scramble. The existing software out there was either designed for a completely different sport, locked behind expensive monthly fees, or just plain ugly and hard to use. Daniel needed something better, and I knew I could build it.

So I built ThrowDown.

It does exactly what Daniel needed on tournament night: manage player rosters, build brackets in every format, let scorekeepers enter scores from their phones (even when the venue Wi-Fi dies), text players when their match is up, calculate payouts, and put the live bracket on the TV above the bar. All without touching a spreadsheet or shouting a single name.

ThrowDown is a one-person operation. I design it, build it, and host it myself on my own hardware. There's no VC money, no sales team, no enterprise pricing. It starts with a free 30-day trial because I think you should see the value before you pay a dime. After that, it's $10/mo — because darts leagues shouldn't have to pay enterprise SaaS prices to run their Tuesday night tournaments.

If you run darts tournaments and you're tired of the chaos, ThrowDown was built for you. And you've got Daniel to thank for the idea.
