Pool Darts Table tennis Cards & dice

Every rack, every leg, every rally — on the board. No more “yeah, but I beat you last time.”

See it in action

From break to bragging rights.

This is the real thing — straight from a cave called Joe's Shed. Score a game on your phone and watch the board move.

Pool

Log a rack in under a minute

Pick the format, pick the players, choose bigs or smalls, and call the winner. The game hits the history — and the leaderboard — the second you confirm.

  • Singles, doubles and Kelly Pool
  • VIC, NSW or your own house rules
  • A coin toss for the break, plus a game timer

Darts

A darts scorer that keeps up with the arrows

Tap each dart as it lands — singles, doubles, trebles, bull. The board does the maths, catches busts and calls the checkout.

  • 501, 301 or your own target — plus Cricket and Around the World
  • Highest visit, 180s and checkouts tracked per player
  • One-handed scoring, made for mid-game

Everything a garage league needs.

Quick to score one-handed mid-game, satisfying to browse the morning after.

FAQ

Fair questions.

Everything people ask before their first league night.

What exactly is The Ankorage?

The Ankorage is a league tracker for your man cave, garage or games room. You create a private 'cave' with its own web address, invite your mates, and log every pool and darts game you play. It turns your casual games into a proper league with a live leaderboard, player stats, win streaks and tournaments.

Which games does it support?

Pool (singles, doubles and Kelly Pool, plus tournaments and best-of series), darts (501, 301 or a custom target, Cricket and Around the World — singles, doubles and tournaments), table tennis (live 11-point scoring for singles and doubles, best of 1 to 7 games) and cards & dice nights (Poker, Blackjack, Zilch, Euchre, 41, Liar's Dice and Yahtzee) are all live today.

How much does it cost?

Every cave starts with a free 14-day trial — no credit card required. After that it's $4.49 AUD per month, or $199 AUD once for lifetime access. Only the cave owner pays; everyone they invite plays for free.

Do my mates have to pay too?

No. One plan covers the whole cave. Guests join with an invite link, QR code or invite code and never see a bill.

Can we play if we're not in the same room?

Yes — for darts. Start a remote game, send the invite, and everyone scores their own throws on their own board from their own phone. The scoreboard stays in sync on every device, and the result lands on the cave's leaderboard like any other game.

Does it work on a TV?

Yes — the leaderboard is designed as a TV display, so you can throw it up on the garage screen and let the rankings do the trash talking.

Do I need to install anything?

No. The Ankorage runs in the browser on any phone, tablet, laptop or TV. Your cave lives at its own address, like your-cave.theankorage.com, so everyone just opens the link.

Your cave awaits.

Set up your cave tonight, invite the crew, and let the leaderboard do the talking.
