Security vulnerability in PHP: closed on our side

On 21 October 2026 a serious security vulnerability in PHP became public (PHP2Shell, CVE-2026-109618 and CVE-2026-109619). It allowed attackers to run their own code on many web servers. dartscorer.online runs on PHP as well.

We installed the update on the day it was released and then checked the server logs: there is no indication that the vulnerability was exploited here. You don't need to do anything.

Questions? Write to me at info@dartscorer.online.

  • Update installed on 21 October 2026, the day it was released
  • Logs checked: no attack reached the vulnerability, no traces of an intrusion
  • Additional hardening: the affected PHP feature is switched off, and folders the server writes to no longer run code

Ally Pally seating plan for the World Darts Championship 2026/27

The interactive seating plan of Alexandra Palace shows you where your seats are at the World Darts Championship. Enter your tickets, see block, row and seat, check the view of the stage in the 3D walkthrough and share your seats with friends.

Help out: if you report your actual seats, the plan gets more and more accurate, especially in the curves of blocks A and C.

Go to the seating plan
  • Enter tickets or simply paste the text from your ticket confirmation or a fan-to-fan offer
  • Block, row and seat on the seating plan, including the floor tables
  • 3D walkthrough: what is the view of the stage from your seat?
  • Share seats via link so everyone sees where you are sitting
  • Your tickets stay with you: they are only processed in your browser
  • German and English

Spooky good: the Halloween edition New

Just in time for Halloween, DartScorer comes as a special edition: at halloween.dartscorer.online the dartboard turns into a pumpkin, bats flutter across the screen and pumpkins rain down when you win.

The Halloween edition is only available around Halloween, free and without signing up as always. If you dare!

Go to the Halloween edition
  • Pumpkin dartboard as app icon and in the intro
  • Bats in the background and a spider web with its spider
  • Pumpkin and bat confetti when you win, on the live display too
  • Spooky computer opponents such as Count Dartula and Pumpkin Kalle
  • Night design in orange and purple
  • Everything as usual: game modes, statistics, voice control, live display and tournaments

News · October 2026 · beta test

New: the tournament site Beta

At turnier.dartscorer.online you can now create and run your own darts tournaments, free and without signing up. The tournament site is still in beta: a few things may not work perfectly yet, and some may still change.

Found a bug or have an idea? Write to me at info@dartscorer.online.

Go to the tournament site
  • Four formats: knockout, double elimination, round robin or a group stage followed by a knockout round, played in X01 or Cricket, with legs or sets
  • Set up in a few steps: enter players, choose the format and legs per round, draw or seed; players can still be added later or withdrawn by walkover
  • Bracket, tables, schedule and final standings with a podium for all players and spectators, on phones too; with “I am …” you see right away when it is your turn
  • Play right in the app: open a match in DartScorer via link or QR code; result, statistics and match history come back automatically
  • Boards and markers: free boards automatically get the next match, with a preview of the one after and a suggested marker; with a board link the device at the board fetches its matches by itself
  • “Now playing” shows which matches are running on which board, with the current score and a link to the live display
  • TV view for the wall: rotating panels with boards, schedule, results, table and statistics; connect the TV with a code and control it from your phone, optionally with one match big in the spotlight
  • Statistics and leaderboards across the whole tournament, for example average, highest checkout and 180s
  • Print or PDF: a schedule to fill in with QR code, results with statistics and match sheets that fill themselves in for matches played in the app
  • Share via link, QR code, WhatsApp or email invitation
  • Listed or link only: optionally protected with a password as well
  • Manage without an account: a secret management link lets you enter results and change the tournament; we can email it to you if you like
