Interactive darts × TiderInteractive darts booking that unlocks the board
Tider connects your booking system to Scolia automatic scoring. A lane opens when a paid booking starts and locks again when it ends — so every game on your boards is a game someone booked.

Interactive darts without the free games
Camera-based darts scoring systems like Scolia are what make interactive darts worth a night out. But a board that scores for anyone also scores for the group that never booked, or kept playing an hour past their slot. Tider closes that gap: the booking decides when a board is live.
- Lanes open with a paid booking and lock when it ends
- Grace minutes either side, set by you
- Guests book the lane from a QR code at the board
Your booking system, in charge of the board
Everything between a guest booking a lane and the last dart thrown — your booking system and your automatic scoring, working as one.
Booking-driven lane control
Tider unlocks a Scolia board when a confirmed, paid booking starts and locks it when the booking ends. An unpaid booking keeps the lane locked until it is settled.
Monitor or Enforce
Start in Monitor mode, where Tider only watches your boards. Switch to Enforce when you are ready, and unbooked lanes lock.
Grace minutes & early start
Give groups a few minutes either side of their slot. A paid booking made at the lane for the next slot opens the board straight away.
Lane tablet
An Android tablet at each lane shows whether it is free, who is up next and a countdown while a booking is running. It updates itself.
Book at the lane
When a lane is free, the tablet shows a QR code. Guests scan it and book that exact lane on their phone, without queuing at the bar.
Staff stay in control
Open, lock or check any board from the admin. One tap opens every board at once, and a staff PIN guards the tablet settings.

Questions, answered
What is interactive darts?
Interactive darts is darts with automatic scoring: cameras around the board read every throw, and a screen keeps score, runs the game modes and shows the stats. It is what turns a dartboard into a bookable night out for groups.
Which darts scoring systems does Tider work with?
Scolia today. Dartsee and Autodarts are not supported yet — other camera-based systems are on our roadmap, so tell us which one your venue uses.
Do scores and stats sync into Tider?
No. Tider controls when a board can score. The game itself, and its stats, stay in the Scolia app where players expect them.
What happens if a guest has not paid?
The lane stays locked, and the lane tablet asks them to pay at the bar. Once the booking is paid, the board opens.
Can staff override a board?
Yes. Staff can open, lock or check any board, and one tap opens every board at once if you need it.
Do we need the lane tablets?
No — they are optional. Lane control works without them. A tablet adds the free/busy display, the countdown and the QR code to book that lane.
What if a group arrives early or runs late?
You set grace minutes before and after each booking, up to an hour. A group that books and pays the next slot at the lane can start right away.
