Guides and FAQ

Nine-pin bowling – FAQ

Can I enter the result as full and clear-off?

Yes. You enter the total number of pins knocked down as the result and can add the details (full, clear-off, faults) in a note – the ranking is built from the total score.

How are team league standings calculated?

You set the points for a win, draw and loss in a duel yourself; ties on points are decided by total pins knocked down – exactly according to the rules of your competition.

Is it suitable for a corporate or village tournament too?

Yes. An open 100-throw tournament with entries via a link, start order and online results is ready in a few minutes.

Does it work for ten-pin bowling too?

Yes. You set up an individual competition, league or team tournament the same way – just enter game scores instead of pins.

How much does it cost?

The basics are free – you can create and run a bowling tournament, competition or league at no charge.
