Conquest Entertainment Announce “Home League” Electronic Chalkboard

CONQUEST has announced the launch of its new Home League electronic darts scorer designed especially for home darts players. It joins the Electronic Chalkboard and the Leaguemaster which have become the most popular electronic darts scorers for pubs, clubs and professionals around the world.
Phil Vigor, the MD of CONQUEST, who started the family-run company back in 1979, said ‘For many years darts players have enjoyed using CONQUEST scorers in their local so we thought it was high time we made a scoreboard for players who enjoy darts at home too. People love them because they’re so easy to use, very reliable and last forever so we’ve tried to recreate this with the Home League scorer”.
The Home League scorer shares the same features that have made CONQUEST scoreboards the world’s favorite. These include robust and reliable switches, a tough metal dart-proof case and bright easy-to-read displays. The Home League accepts games up 901, has a recall function and couldn’t be simpler to use. The scorer measures 200×130x25(mm) and, as with other premium quality products, it feels reassuringly weighty and substantial.
The Home League electronic darts scorer is available now directly from the CONQUEST website and is their most affordable scorer yet with prices starting from £128.80 (including VAT). CONQUEST is also running a competition with prizes including a free ‘Home League’ scorer up for grabs. Visit www.conquestentertainmentuk.com for more information and to enter the competition.
CONQUEST can be contacted on +44(0) 1255 474 176, via email at info@conquestentertainmnetuk.com, or on the web at www.conquestentertainmentuk.com
