Using Blitzer

How to run a game night, enter scores, and make sense of the numbers afterwards.

Getting started

Your first game, from opening the app to a final score.

The Dutch Blitz maths, and what Blitzer does with it.

Two ways to play. Which one you want depends on how often.

Batting average, win odds, and the charts during a game.

Why this exists at all.

Do all the players need an account?: Anyone joining from their own phone does. They sign in as they scan the code, and it is free. If someone would rather not make one, the host can add them as a guest instead. Guests are scored exactly like everyone else; they just cannot open the game themselves.
How many people can play?: Up to eight, which is what the Dutch Blitz expansion packs seat.
Can I fix a score I entered wrong?: Yes. You can edit a round after it is recorded, and the standings and charts recalculate.
Does a pickup game code expire?: Yes, after twelve hours. A pickup lobby is meant for one sitting, so a screenshot of the code forwarded weeks later will not add anyone to a game nobody is at.
Can I share the result with people who do not use Blitzer?: Yes. Every finished game has a page anyone can open with the link. No account needed.
Is this made by Dutch Blitz?: No. Blitzer is an unofficial companion app and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by Dutch Blitz Games Company.
