Bowling

Ten frames, frame-by-frame, live to the screen at the alley. Real frames — strikes and spares carry the way they should.

Frames 3 bracket formats
Live · interactive · click a frame, pick pins down

Bowl the demo game yourself.

Click a frame and tap pins to roll a ball. Strikes auto-fill X and skip ball two. Spares auto-fill /. The tenth frame handles the bonus ball the right way. Frame totals fill in left-to-right as the bonus balls land.

Open frame · click frame 1 to start · live click · keyboard ↵ · undo / reset
Real ten-frame scoring. Strikes & spares carry. Fill balls in the 10th. Baker, stepladder, and no-tap variants all run on this engine.
Three games · USBC handicap · per-bowler total

Series and handicap on the same line.

League night runs three games. Each bowler's handicap drops onto every game; the series total is scratch + handicap. Tap 'Roll game' to fill in the third game and watch the right-side total update.

Friday league · game 3 · live tap a button · totals tick
Base score 220, 90% handicap — USBC's most common rule. The cells on the right are the line the secretary signs off on.
Bracket · hover or tap any match

Drill into any match in the bracket.

This is the same SVG bracket your tenants embed on their site. Hover or tap a match — the panel beneath fills with the line score, the green connectors light up the path to that game, and the trophy box is always the eventual champion.

League finals · 8-team single-elim hover · tap · arrow-key focus
Round-robin is the natural format. Single-elim drops in for finals night. Stepladder for the championship shoot-out.
Court assignment · push notifications · auto-rotating

Tell every player exactly where to be, exactly when.

The director sees this on the desk. Players see their own row on their phone. Spectators see the live status on the lobby TV.

Friday night · 4 lanes · live state callout rotates every ~4s
Lane assignments + roll times. Each lane card shows current frame and pin total.
Three vantage points · same match

One match, three views of it.

The director sees the courts, the queue, and every override. The player sees their match, their court, and their bracket position. The public scoreboard sees the leader, the live score, and the next call. Switch tabs to compare.

Finals flow · live tap a tab · auto-cycles after 5s idle
Director sees every lane. Bowler sees their frame. House TV shows the leaderboard.
Re-seed live · pool standings → knockout bracket

Watch the bracket build itself.

Pool play is over. Standings are messy. Tap Re-seed by record and the bracket reorders by W-L → points-for, with the moved teams glowing as they slot in.

League wrap → finals seeding auto-runs on first view
Re-seed by average → high series. Pin counts break ties.

What you can run.

Real bowling scoring (strikes, spares, fill balls) — not 'points' faked into bowling. Round-robin is the natural format; single-elim for finals night.

  • Round-robin
  • Single elimination
  • Stepladder finals

Default: Round-robin

Live view

What spectators see.

Frame-by-frame scoreboard with strikes (X), spares (/), and rolling totals. The same shape you see at the alley.

In the wild

A real example.

Deaf Bowlers Association Frederick Open — 24-bowler round-robin, scratch + handicap divisions.
