When you start your first game, a popup will ask you to add a bowling ball. Type the name and tap "Add Ball". You can also add balls and leagues from the session page or My Info. This unlocks per-ball stats, ball comparison, and league averages.
Head to Stats from the menu after a few games. The more data, the more useful everything gets.
How Scoring Works
Tap "Strike" then "Confirm Roll". Two taps.
On roll 2, tap "Strike" (selects all remaining) then "Confirm Roll" if you got them all. Or tap individual pins you picked up.
Tap "Confirm Roll" without selecting any pins.
Auto-detected. Toggle manually with "Mark Split" if needed. Shows as a red dot on the scorecard.
Strike = two bonus rolls with pin reset. Spare = one bonus roll. Open = game over.
Tap any completed frame on the scorecard to re-enter it. Scores recalculate automatically.
Below each frame you'll see a mini pin diagram showing your leave:
Auto-Select Mode
All pins start green (knocked down). You just tap the ones you missed. Faster since you usually hit more pins than you leave.
9 pins recorded. Done.
Stays on for the rest of the game. Toggle off the same way.
Scoring Tips
Tap "Strike" (selects all), deselect what you missed, "Confirm Roll". Way faster than tapping 7-8 pins individually.
On roll 2, if you got the spare: "Strike" then "Confirm Roll". Two taps.
Ball dropdown above the scorecard. Applies from current frame forward.
Saves after every roll. Close the browser, come back later, pick up where you left off.
Sessions and Games
One trip to the alley. Holds one or more games. Set date, location, and league when you create it.
Add as many games as you want. Series totals (sum of all completed games) appear automatically on any session with two or more games.
Tap ★ to mark a session as a favorite. Filter by favorites on your dashboard.
Public sessions show on the feed and your profile. Toggle to private anytime from the session page.
Setting Up Balls and Leagues
One-time setup. Unlocks per-ball stats, ball comparison, and league averages.
My Info from the menu, or directly on any session page.
You'll see "+ Ball" and "+ League" buttons on every session page and scoring screen. Tap either one to open a popup and add right there without leaving the page. If you start a game without any balls added, the add-ball popup opens automatically.
League name + bowling alley. Assign sessions to leagues to track league averages separately.
Add oil patterns in My Info too. Select when scoring to filter stats by pattern later (house vs sport).
Ball dropdown appears on the session page next to "+ New Game". Pick before each game. Switch mid-game from the scoring screen dropdown.
