Run your bowling side action
from one iPad.

Brackets, eliminators, high game pots, sweepers, and mystery doubles — signed up, scored, and paid out without a recap sheet, a calculator, or a line of bowlers at your table asking who won.

Pay out

Winnings are computed the moment the last game locks. Check names off as you pay.

Built by a tournament director, for tournament directors

Smart brackets

8-bowler, 3-game elimination brackets that keep the same people from bowling each other over and over — even when someone buys five entries. Round-2 rematches are avoided by design.

Eliminator pots

Scratch and handicap eliminators with per-game cut scores. Set the cut, survivors advance automatically, and the cut line is obvious to everyone.

High game & series pots

Scratch and handicap high game for every game of the set — or a total-pins series sweeper. Standings sort themselves the moment scores go in.

Mystery doubles

Entrants are secretly paired at start. Teams stay anonymous on the board until you hit Reveal — then the room finds out who carried whom.

Apple Pencil score entry

Write scores straight into the grid the way you would on a recap sheet — no keyboard popping over your hand. Lock each game when it goes final.

Payouts, done

Every pot is calculated automatically the moment game 3 locks. A paid checkbox for every bowler means nobody gets missed and nobody gets paid twice.

Live for your bowlers

Print a QR poster right from the iPad. Bowlers scan it and follow brackets, standings, and winnings live on their phones — no app to install, no crowd at your table.
