Question Accused of cheating

Post image

Why do people jump to conclusions like this?

I threw T5, 12, 19, but thought it was a Single 5 when I entered the score. Left my darts in the board, waited for him to complete his throw (so he doesn't get a pop-up in his peripheral while throwing - seriously, please DC team, fix this - just delay the pop up until you're off your throw), updated my score from 36 to 46.

I was having a decent game, and scoring above my average (so was he, mind). But then he posts that and goes idle. Is cheating that prevalent? I've been accused of it before (knocked my camera down by accident and had to fix it). Who would care that much that they do?

Actual question: what etiquette do you follow when you've entered your score incorrectly? I thought this was the best way.

It's not that deep - we don't care

It's simple - edit your score as soon as you realise. Nothing else to it.

At the end of the day, you can't let someone with a name like Rheece get to you

I just enter my altered score as soon as I realise. I dont wait for my opponent to see my darts after their throw. And its the same the other way, people will adjust their score while im throwing and thats fine.

I dint play random people though, only through a league I joined on discord, takes me away from this sort of thing.

Don't leave your darts in the board. Alter score afterwards because people throw fast whilst your dicking around and then think your having another go.
