NewTon DC Tournament Manager v5.0.1-beta.6 — March 28, 2026

Overview

NewTon DC Tournament Manager v5.0.1-beta.6 introduces NewtonMatchDB — a persistent, IndexedDB-backed global match register that records every completed match across all tournaments. A new History tab gives read-only access to the archive: browse finalized tournaments, drill into match lists, and open full match detail including visit scores and achievements. Match cards in Tournament Setup → Match History are now clickable for the same detail view. Several bugs and UX issues from beta.5 testing are also resolved.

NewtonMatchDB — Global Match Register

A new IndexedDB layer (js/newton-db.js) persists every non-walkover match completion across all tournaments:

Two stores: matches (one record per match) and tournaments (one record per tournament)
Write at completion: every MANUAL or QR completion is written immediately, fire-and-forget
Delete on undo: undoing a match removes it from the register
Finalize at close: completing a tournament promotes all its records to status: 'final' and attaches a full player stats snapshot
Each match record includes: match ID, tournament ID, both player names/IDs, winner, leg scores, raw visit scores (base64), achievements, first starter, format, completion type, and timestamps
Export/import: full DB dump as JSON via the History tab

History Tab

A new History navigation item (between Global Settings and Chalker) gives a read-only, three-panel view of the match register:

Tournament list — all finalized tournaments, showing format, date, player count, and status badge
Match list — all final matches for the selected tournament, with winner, leg score, match type (Chalker/Manual), and date
Match detail — full record: type badge, format, date, winner, legs table with visit scores and checkout darts (Chalker matches), and achievements table

Navigation flows tournament list → match list → match detail, with back buttons at each level. The match list back button correctly returns to the match list for the current tournament.

Export and import of the full DB are available from the History tab.

Completed match cards in Tournament Setup → Match History are now clickable. Clicking a non-walkover card opens an inline modal with the full match detail — identical content to the History tab detail view. Walkover cards remain non-clickable. The pointer cursor is the only visual hint.

Tons Fix

180s were incorrectly excluded from the Tons count. NewtonStats.extractAchievements() now counts any visit ≥ 100 as a ton (including 180s), matching standard darts scoring. The label "Tons (100–179)" has been corrected to "Tons" throughout.

QR Results Button Redesign

The Scan QR Results button in Match Controls has been moved out of the footer into its own row above Leaderboard/Close. It carries the same orange glow as live match cards — a consistent visual cue that "something active can happen here". The button is hidden automatically when the tournament is completed.

Bug Fixes

Match Controls not refreshing after QR completion: the refresh check used classList.contains('active') which was wrong for the dialog stack system. Fixed to use window.dialogStack.
Back button in match detail wired incorrectly: the HTML button had no id, so openMatch() could never wire its onclick. Fixed by adding id="historyMatchDetailBackBtn" and updating the label to "← Back to matches".
QR Results button shown after tournament completion: now hidden via tournament.status === 'completed' check in showMatchCommandCenter().

Files Changed

js/newton-db.js — new module: initDB(), saveMatch(), deleteMatch(), getMatch(), getMatchesByTournament(), saveTournamentMeta(), finalizeTournament(), getTournament(), getFinalTournaments(), exportAll(), importAll()
js/newton-history.js — new module: three-panel History UI; openMatchModal() for inline detail; _buildMatchDetailHtml() shared builder
js/newton-stats.js — extractAchievements(): tons threshold changed to ≥ 100
js/clean-match-progression.js — DB write hook at match completion; finalizeTournament hook at tournament close; rawLegs/firstStarter params added to completeMatch()
js/bracket-rendering.js — undoManualTransaction() calls NewtonDB.deleteMatch(); showMatchCommandCenter() hides QR Results when tournament completed; Match Controls refresh fix
js/qr-bridge.js — "Tons (100–179)" label corrected to "Tons"
js/main.js — updateMatchHistory() adds clickable onclick to non-walkover completed match cards
tournament.html — History nav item; three-panel History page; #matchDetailModal; two-row Match Controls footer; newton-db.js, newton-history.js script tags; historyMatchDetailBackBtn id and label fix
css/styles.css — History panel styles: .history-table, .history-row, .history-back-row, .history-panel-title, .history-panel-meta, .history-detail-header, .history-type-badge variants

Migration

No migration required. NewtonMatchDB is populated going forward from beta.6. No existing tournament data is affected. Tournaments completed before beta.6 will not appear in the History tab until they are finalized again — the register is not retroactive.
