FIG. 14 is a flowchart for explaining an operation example for setting a special league in the game system 1 of the present embodiment.

First, the server 10 establishes a special league (S101). Specifically, the portable terminal 20 requests transmission of an operation screen (Web page) for establishing a league in response to the operation of the store manager. When the server 10 receives a request from the portable terminal 20, the server 10 responds with a Web page (an operation screen for establishing a league) created in a markup language (such as XML) that matches the standard of the portable terminal 20. And the portable terminal 20 displays the operation screen for league establishment received from the server 10 on the terminal display unit 24.

FIG. 15 is a diagram showing an example of the operation screen 100 for establishing a league. When the operation screen 100 for establishing a league is displayed on the terminal display unit 24, the store manager inputs the name 100A of the special league and selects the standard time of the special league from the pull-down menu 100B. The operation button 100C for registering a league is selected. When the operation button 100 </ b> C is selected by the store manager, the portable terminal 20 transmits the operation information input on the operation screen 100 for establishing a league to the server 10. In the server 10, when the operation information transmitted from the portable terminal 20 is received, the league creation processing unit 112 registers the newly established special league based on the operation information in the special league information shown in FIG.

Next, the server 10 selects a store where the special league is held (S102). Specifically, the portable terminal 20 requests transmission of an operation screen (Web page) for store search in response to the operation of the store manager. When the server 10 receives a request from the portable terminal 20, the server 10 responds with a Web page (operation screen for store search) corresponding to the request. Then, the portable terminal 20 causes the terminal display unit 24 to display the store search operation screen received from the server 10.

When the store search operation screen 110 is displayed on the terminal display unit 24, the store manager inputs the country name 110A, inputs the store name 110B, and then searches for stores where the special league is held. The operation button 110C is selected.

Then, when the operation button 110C is selected by the store manager on the operation screen 110, the portable terminal 20 requests transmission of an operation screen (Web page) for selecting a store. In the server 10, when the request from the portable terminal 20 is received, the store selection unit 112A selects and lists stores that have entered the participation in the special league based on the entry information shown in FIG. Each listed store is a store that usually holds a league. The server 10 responds with a Web page (operation screen for selecting a store) created by listing those stores. Then, the portable terminal 20 causes the terminal display unit 24 to display the store selection operation screen received from the server 10.

FIG. 17 is a diagram illustrating an example of the operation screen 101 for selecting a store. When the store selection operation screen 101 is displayed on the terminal display unit 24, the store manager operates the operation button 101A and selects any store from the store list. When the operation button 101A is selected by the store manager, the portable terminal 20 transmits the operation information input on the operation screen 101 for store selection to the server 10. And in the server 10, if the operation information transmitted from the portable terminal 20 is received, the store selection part 112A will register the participating store of a special league in the special league information shown in FIG. 9 based on the operation information.

Next, when the special league is established in this way, the server 10 accepts the setting of the mixed team for each store where the special league is held (S103). Specifically, the portable terminal 20 responds to the operation of the store manager of the store where the special league is held (store manager of the store selected in step S102), and the operation screen for setting the mixed team ( Web page) transmission request. When the server 10 receives a request from the portable terminal 20, the server 10 responds with a Web page (mixed team setting operation screen) created in a markup language that conforms to the standard of the portable terminal 20.

<Individual matches in special leagues>
In the game system 1 according to the present embodiment, when a special league is set in this way, the special league is held according to a schedule (holding schedule). In each store that holds the special league, mixed teams that perform battles gather, and a league game (individual battle) is performed via a network using each dart game device between the stores. Below, in the game system 1 of this embodiment, the operation example for performing the separate battle | competition of a special league is demonstrated concretely.

FIG. 23 is a flowchart for explaining an operation example for performing an individual battle in a special league in the game system 1 of the present embodiment.

First, in each dart game device 30 between stores, when the game operation unit 33 is operated by a player (for example, a representative of a mixed team), the screen display control unit 313 displays a menu screen 50 shown in FIG. It is displayed on the display unit 34 (S201).

Next, in each dart game device 30 between stores, the game progress unit 311 determines whether or not the game operation unit 33 is operated by the player when the menu screen 50 is displayed on the game display unit 34 ( S202). Here, it is assumed that “special league” is selected from the menu.

Next, in each dart game device 30 between stores, the screen display control unit 313 selects the “Special League” from the menu by the player (S202: YES), and displays the card request screen 51 shown in FIG. It is displayed on the game display unit 34 (S203).

Next, in each dart game device 30 between stores, the game progress unit 311 determines whether the game card owned by the player has been inserted into the card slot 40 when the card request screen 51 is displayed on the game display unit 34. It is determined whether or not (S204).

Next, in each dart game device 30 between the stores, when the game card is inserted into the card slot 40 (S204: YES), the game progression unit 311 determines the card ID or the like recorded on the game card from the card RW unit 41. Information is acquired and the server 10 is requested to authenticate the special league (S205).

That is, in the server 10, when the league management unit 113 receives a request from each dart game device 30 between the stores, the team associated with each received card ID is referred to the mixed team information shown in FIG. Specify the ID. Next, the league management unit 113 refers to the store information shown in FIG. 5, specifies the store ID associated with the team ID, and then refers to the special league information shown in FIG. Specifies the special league schedule information (see FIG. 10). And the league management part 113 determines whether it is a mixed team which should participate in the individual battle of the holding date set to the schedule information. When the determination is affirmed, the league management unit 113 permits the special league authentication, and records that the mixed team has logged in the server storage unit 12. In this way, the league management unit 113 manages the login state of each team.

Next, in each dart game device 30 between the stores, when the special league authentication by the server 10 is not permitted (S205: NG), the process returns to step S204 to request the card input again. On the other hand, when the special league authentication by the server 10 is permitted (S205: OK), the process proceeds to step S206.
