Creating an account lets you:

To register:

1. Open the app and tap Settings (gear icon)
2. Tap Create Account
3. Enter your name, email, and password
4. You're in — your device games will sync to your account

Your First Game

1. Tap "New Game" on the home screen
2. Choose a game mode:
   • X01 — The classic (501, 301, etc.). Count down from the starting score.
   • Cricket — Hit numbers 15-20 and bullseye to close them out.
   • Round the Clock — Hit 1 through 20 in order.
3. Add players — Select from existing players or create new ones
4. Configure options — Set double-in/double-out, best-of legs, etc.
5. Play! — Enter scores as each player throws. Oche handles the maths.

Scoring a Turn

When it's a player's turn:

1. The player throws their three darts at the board
2. Enter the total score for the visit (all three darts combined)
3. Oche automatically:
   • Subtracts the score from the remaining total (X01)
   • Checks for bust scores (going below zero or below a finishable number)
   • Detects checkout (hitting exactly zero with a double)
   • Moves to the next player

Understanding the Scoreboard

During a game you'll see:

• Remaining score — What each player still needs
• Current average — Points per visit (3-dart average)
• Darts thrown — Total darts used this leg
• Checkout suggestion — When you're on a finishable score, Oche suggests the checkout route

After the Game

When a game finishes, you'll see a match stats screen with:

• Winner declaration
• 3-dart averages for each player
• Highest visit
• Checkout percentage
• Number of darts to finish

All games are automatically saved to your Game History, accessible from the main menu.

Syncing

If you have an account, games sync automatically when you're connected to the internet. You can also trigger a manual sync from Settings → Cloud Sync.

The sync indicator in Settings shows:

• ALL SYNCED — Everything is up to date
• PENDING — Games waiting to sync (you're offline or sync is in progress)
