Run the whole event, poster to podium.
Create the event once and Bowlsy makes the poster, lists it on the website, puts it on Club TV and hands you the share button. Then run the day itself — entries, rink draw, scores, a live ladder on the bar screen — and post the results everywhere the poster went.
LIVE ON CLUB TV
Six short steps and a poster that makes itself.
Social bowls, a tournament, a club championship or a trivia night — the form asks only what that kind of event needs, then publishes it everywhere at once.
Entries, draw, scores, live TV, results.
Pick the draw format and scoring, let Bowlsy allocate the rinks, enter scores as cards come in, and watch the ladder update on the clubhouse TV.
Say what kind of day it is. The form does the rest.
A bowls event gets the full kit — format, gender, entry fee, prize money, dress code, entries-close date, sponsors, even how many ends and whether the jack is respotted. An entertainment listing is a trivia night, live music or a Sunday lunch: a quick card for What's On, no draws, no results.
- Bowls, entertainment, darts, whatever else the club runs — each is its own category, with sub-categories like social bowls, tournaments and club championships.
- Runs every Monday? Set it once as a recurring event and every week is ready to go.
- Tick a box to feature it at the top of What's On, or list it under Special Events for save-the-dates.
Publish once. It's on the website, the TV and the socials.
Hit Publish and the event has its own page on the club website, a place in What's On, a slide on Club TV and a poster sized for the socials — and the next newsletter picks it up too. Nobody retypes anything.
Its own page, entry fee and all.
Date, venue, organiser contact and the poster, in your website's own colours and nav — a page you can link to from anywhere.
On the bar screen before anyone asks.
What's On lists the week's events automatically, and a published poster gets a full-screen slide of its own.
One tap to share. One poster, already the right size.
Put the club's Facebook page in its profile and every event page gets a Share button that posts the event straight to it, poster as the preview. The Social download gives you a square-friendly 1080px poster for Instagram, the club group, or the WhatsApp chat.

Type the teams in. Pick how the day is played.
Lead and skip, or a full four — with club names if visitors are coming. Then choose the draw: knockout, round robin in sections, or a random draw where winners play winners. Shots up or sets play. Points for ends won, bonus points for a big end, margin in the ladder or not — however your club has always done it.
- Knockout — single elimination, byes handled, winners flow into the next round automatically.
- Round robin — everyone plays in sections; top teams go through to a knockout if you want one.
- Random draw — draw round one only, then rank the field and pair winners with winners.
Score entry anyone can do.
One card per rink. Type the shots, the ends won and any bonus, tap Final, and the ladder moves. Made a mistake? Undo and re-enter. When the round's in, generate the next one from the standings — no pencil, no eraser, no arguments about the arithmetic.
- Works from a phone or a laptop — whichever is closer to the green.
- Sets play handles two sets and a tiebreak and works the winner out itself.
- Every card shows the margin and the points it earned, so the skip can check it on the spot.
Final table, placegetters, prize money.
The last card goes in and the podium is already worked out. Put the prize money against each place, add the round winners and the best-and-fairest, and finalise. The prize pool totals itself, so the treasurer's envelope matches the announcement.
- Placegetters are detected from the results — override them if the club has a rule the computer doesn't know.
- Special awards for anything beyond the placings: round prizes, two-game winners, encouragement awards.
- Scores changed after finalising? Re-detect from the new results without losing the prize amounts.
Results posted everywhere the poster went.
Finalise and the winners go straight onto the club website's results board — podium and special awards, in the site's own colours — and Club TV's Recent Results board picks them up for the week, photo and prize money included. Nothing to retype.
- Bowlsy drafts a news article with the podium and round-by-round scores — publish it as is or add a paragraph.
- Recurring events build a results history, week by week, with a filter per event.
- Keep a session off the public results if it was only a practice day. What goes public is yours to choose.
