The Dartslive rating classification was originally based on Medalist Rating classification but the specific calculation method remains undisclosed by Dartslive. This is because Dartslive uses a 80% statistics method rather than 100% statistics, i.e. not all darts thrown are used for the calculation. The rating will usually be higher than using a 100% statistics method.

Touchlive tournament for Super League players!

Super League games are drawing to a close for most teams except those in S3 division. But wait, there is still a chance for all the teams to win more prizes!

Starting from 24th Sept, 2012, Super League players can participate in another tournament that you can win big money! Along with the revamped user-interface on Touchlive, a new ranking system with divisions is now unveiled for Touchlive games only. Dartslive have also generously thrown in a launch event with total prize money to the tune of SGD $1750. Yes, it is SGD $1750 cash money to the top Super League teams whose members have scored the most "points" during the next 2.5 weeks period.

How does it work ? Well, all Super League players are automatically enrolled in the tournament. All you have to do is earn points during the period. All players in the team earn points on behalf of their team. The top 3 teams with the most points will win cash prize money!

Prizes 
1st team  - $1000
2nd team - $500
3rd team  - $250

Points are earned from playing dart games as well as Touchlive games. In Dart games, you earn 1 point for every bull you hit. On Touchlive, you get different amount of points depending on well you played the game. At the very least, you will still get 5 points, going up to 15 points if you played very well. So for those low rated players, you can contribute MORE to your team by playing MORE on Touchlive! Remember, all Super League teams regardless of divisions are competing against each other for the big prize money.

How to collect Dartslive Theme?

Customise your Dartslive game screen with your favourite themes

Dartslive themes are customised background screens shown behind your scores during a game of 01, Cricket or Count-up. There are many many backgrounds available for you to choose from and once a background is chosen, it will remain for the duration of the current game. Make your themes  extra special by "powering-up" your themes using your phone app (see below).

So how do I get themes ?

There are 4 sources where themes are available for selection or "purchase". 2 of them costs some virtual currencies while the other two sources may be free, though you will need to play some games.

The first, is from a Touchlive machine. Select the "Themes" option on the Touchlive and you will see a list of current themes available for purchase using "Bananas". Banana is a form of currency in Touchlive, allowing you to purchase themes, award movies and other virtual accessories. More on Touchlive Bananas later. So, what you need to do here is select the theme that you like and click on "Purchase"  button. If you have insufficient bananas to purchase an expensive theme, the "Buy" button is disabled.

Assuming you have enough Bananas to purchase the theme of your choice, you will be prompted to click Buy. Click Buy to make the purchase and the theme will be added to your Dartslive Member card! At the same time, it is automatically set as your current theme. Now, the next game that you play will be played with the selected background picture.

The second method where you can buy or select themes is on the Dartslive Phone App, available for iPhone or Android via their respective App store or Android Market. To access the Phone App, you need a Member card that is still valid. If it has expired, you can get it extended by obtaining the "90-day DPass" card which contains a 16-digit number that you need to key in to extend the validity of the Member card. This 90-day card may be sold at a price in some locations.

So, after you installed your Dartslive Phone App, you can view your list of themes and switch or purchase additional themes. Some themes are  exclusively purchased from the Phone App. The currency to purchase themes on the phone app is "Dartslive Points". You get these points whenever you play Dartslive or Touchlive. At the end of a game on Dartslive board, you will see some messages like "20pts awarded" being shown. This is the currency being awarded to you for purchase on the phone app.

The third method to obtain a theme is to get it from your friends! Yes, just play a game with your friend and his theme will be copied to you at the end of the game. Get your friend to select a theme that you want before starting the game, at the end of the game, the game is copied to you. Note, the theme copy function may work the other way round too, i.e. your theme may be copied to your friend, the direction of the copy is unpredictable. So you can either play games until you get your friend's theme or you can play with a theme that your friend already owns. That way, since he already has your theme, you will get his theme. Also note, not all themes can be copied. They must be obtain by yourself and remains with the original owner. These themes are indicated with a wine glass next to the theme (see picture below)

Well, there is one last method of collecting a theme especially one that cannot be copied to you. However it is not really collecting, but more of "giving". Take for example, your friend have a theme that cannot be copied out. Ask your friend to "give" you the card, along with the PIN number password for the website login. You will get all the themes that are on the card. You can then change the card name via the DARTSLIVE website login and customise it to your own liking. You will probably need to play at least 30 games on the card for it to accumulate your own rating.

What kind of themes are available ?

There are 8 types of themes available

1. Basic
   These are static pictorial themes which can be purchased using Dartslive points. New themes are unveiled every month.
