Scolia is an innovative automatic scorekeeping solution for steel-tip darts. Besides scorekeeping, Scolia registers the location of each throw with millimeter accuracy in order to provide coordinate-based statistics to the players.

Scolia uses a sophisticated image processing algorithm to identify the locations of the thrown darts real time. The system consists of a set of cameras and a processing unit. The cameras are connected to the processing unit by USB cables. Whenever a dart hits the board, the processing unit calculates the position of the dart along with its corresponding score.

No, you can use your regular dartboard and darts set with Scolia. Scolia is compatible with the products of all the major dartboard manufacturers. Note that the image processing algorithm expects the dartboard to have standard dimensions, traditional colouring and to be equipped with the traditional metal number ring. It is recommended to avoid using dark-coloured barrels, shafts and flights for better accuracy.

There are many variables that affect the accuracy of the system. It is much harder for the system to identify tightly grouped darts the very skilled players tend to throw. Nevertheless, in case of competitive players, Scolia can consistently achieve accuracy rates well above 99%, while for recreational players this figure can easily go as high as 99.9%.

Scolia Home is a perfect fit for residential customers who seek a compact, lightweight and more affordable auto-scoring upgrade kit for their dartboard. The system is designed for the Scolia Spark light surround. It is very easy to install and provides high accuracy scorekeeping without taking up too much space.

Apart from a standard steel-tip dartboard, you will need the following items: Scolia Spark light surround A standard dartboard surround You can buy both of these items in a bundle with Scolia Home in our webstore. Additionally, you will need a 75 by 75 cm flat surface around your dartboard on a solid wall (preferably brick or concrete) and wired internet connection.

Not necessarily. You can install Scolia Home without any additional holes in your wall. Simply attach the camera-holding legs and the processing unit to the Scolia spark light surround, and hang it up on your dartboard surround. However, depending on the rigidity of your dartboard surround, you might find that it is deforming under the weight of the Scolia Spark or that it is not stable enough. For this reason, we recommend using the T-shaped support brackets for Scolia Home to permanently attach the Scolia Spark lighting to the wall.

Most one-piece PU (polyurethane) dartboard surrounds are perfectly compatible with Scolia Home. The main requirement is that when using the surround as a holder for the Scolia Spark light surround, the dartboard should be in the middle of the light surround. For this to happen, the approximate dimensions of the surround should be the following: Outer diameter: 68-70 cm Width: 12-12.5 cm Thickness: 3-4 cm Most manufacturers (Winmau, Target, Unicorn, Bull’s) produce PU surrounds with these dimensions. You can also buy one of these surrounds for your new Scolia Home product in our webshop.
