The platform allows sending of the master tournament player list and the tournament record to mobile computing devices executing an electronic dart scoring application. The platform allows scoring a plurality of matches of the tournament on the mobile computing devices executing the electronic dart scoring application. The platform allows automatically sending scores in substantially real-time from each of the plurality of matches upon their completion to the cloud server application and electronic bracket program via the one or more application program interfaces; and automatically advancing players at the electronic bracket program based on the sent scores.
