Sometimes I desire to work on projects because I think it would be fun or good practice, like in the case of Bookyah.
Sometimes I go through a traumatic experience such as managing a bowling tournament for over a hundred participants with pen and paper, maybe an Excel spreadsheet, too, and think “we can do better.”
When the latter happens, I tend to work harder as to never deal with that nightmare again.
With that, I am proud to announce BowlBoard. Great for bowlers, and great for tournament directors. A painless experience from tournament registration to final standings.
BowlBoard is a ten-pin bowling tournament database and management app. Tournament directors can:
- Create tournaments with multiple events, and multiple squad times.
- Allow self-registration by bowlers, or add them yourself. Big tournament? Bulk upload them in one shot.
- Automatically and smartly assign lanes with minimal repeat bowling pairs for bowlers.
- Set bowler averages and have handicap and scoring automatically calculated.
- Print automatically-generated score sheets for those who still prefer pen-and-paper.
- Post scores once and watch brackets, eliminators, match play, and All Events update live.
- Track payments for events and side pots.
- Much, much more.
Bowlers will love it too – especially team events:
- Sign up and search for tournaments.
- Form your team by sending invites to friends via email or in-app.
- Get alerts for invites, lane assignments, and upcoming squads.
- Pay entry fees right in the app (when enabled).
- Follow live standings.
- Keep track of your participation history.
- Control your privacy – share only the contact info you choose.
BowlBoard is already the best online ten-pin bowling tournament management app you will find today, and it will continue to expand. Start using it at bowlboard.com.
