Arena · Bowling
Frames on the lane. Brackets on the wall. Stats in the archive.
Ten-frame, baker, stepladder, no-tap, USBC-format — pick the format, scratch the lineup, run the night. Tournament on Saturday, league on Tuesday, ladder running all summer — same scorekeeper UI, same director console, same archive. The lane sends frames through the open scoring system; the bracket updates on the TV behind the bar; the high series, the high game, the stepladder eliminator all roll into an archive that lives forever and never gets paywalled. Same foundation. First tenant is Blast'D!
A ten-frame scoresheet
Click the frame. Click the ball. Watch the total catch up.
Click ball 1 on the current frame to set pins down (cycles 0–10). Strike auto-fills X. Click ball 2 to fill the remainder; ten will read as a spare. The running total updates per frame.
0RUNNING TOTAL
Frame 1 · Ball 1
X = strike (10 down, bonus = next two balls). / = spare (10 in two balls, bonus = next ball). On frame 10, a strike or spare gives a bonus ball.
Formats
Pick the format. Run the night.
Ten-frame
The standard. Pins, strikes, spares, bonus balls in the tenth.
Baker
Five bowlers, one frame each, rotating. Team format for league play.
Stepladder
Top seeds wait. Lower seeds bowl up. Finale lights up the room.
No-tap
Nine pins counts as a strike. Recreational nights and charity events.
USBC-format
Sanctioned league shapes. Averages, handicaps, scratch divisions.
First tenant: Blast'D!
Blast'D! is the reference bowling tenant for Arena. The lanes send frames through the open scoring API; the bracket updates on the TV behind the bar; the high series, the high game, and the stepladder eliminator all land in a public archive your league can read on a phone.
The unifying foundation
From the workspace. The kit the products are built from.
Bowling sits on top of this. So do its three siblings.
Multi-device web.
Tablet on the podium. TV at the front of the room. Phone in every hand. Same URL, three different floor plans. Nothing to install.
One Stripe spine.
Every product takes money the same way. Receipts arrive from the same address. Refunds are one click. The studio doesn't sit in the middle of your funds.
Your data, yours.
Records, archives, rosters belong to you. Export anything, anytime, in plain formats. If you ever leave, you leave with everything.
Live at the edge.
Counters update the moment the vote does. Brackets update the moment the game ends. No refresh. No spinner.
Captions default-on.
Audio is additive, never sole. Every state change carries color, icon, and text. Speakers muted, headphones unplugged — the product still works.
Built in Frederick.
The same person who solders the board writes the firmware, hand-codes the page, and pushes the deploy. The studio that built it is the studio that runs it.
Three siblings, one foundation
