Club leagues

A league your members can find their way into

Points or roll-up, triples or fours — the season generates itself, the table keeps itself, and What's on shows every member what they could be playing in.

Setting up

A season in minutes, not evenings

Tell Bowlside the playing evening, start time and green, and the whole season appears — every round scheduled, every game with a rink already reserved on the club diary.

  • Fixtures that generate themselves

    The generator skips the club's closed dates — Christmas, maintenance week — and respects how many games your green can take in an evening.

  • Every game books its own rink

    League fixtures reserve rinks on the booking calendar automatically, leaving your keep-free rinks alone. Withdraw a team and its rinks are released.

  • A schedule planner for real life

    Rained-off Tuesday? Move a fixture's date and time and its rink moves with it, with closed dates shown inline.

  • Divisions, legs and seasons

    Optional divisions, configurable legs, and draft seasons your members don't see until you're ready to publish.

Match night

Every week runs itself

The weekly grind of a league — who's free, who's picked, who's been told — happens without a single phone call.

  • One availability link per player

    Each player gets a single durable link listing their whole season — one tap per game, no login, straight from the reminder email.

  • Captains pick from the squad planner

    See who's available, pick the side, and send every selection out in one batch — including telling anyone dropped that they're not needed this week, with tact.

  • Weekly reminders, opt-in

    Selected players get a nudge about the week's games with a confirm link. A throttle makes sure nobody is nagged twice.

  • Team pages with real identity

    Named captains and managers, a short 'about our team' blurb, and per-team fixture and squad downloads — one page per team, handout-ready.

Standings

A table that looks after itself

Results go in at the green; the table is right by the time everyone's back in the bar — including the awkward cases every league secretary knows too well.

  • Your league's scoring, not ours

    Shots or sets, half points, aggregate bonus points, and each league's own tie-break rule — configured once, applied every week.

  • Short-handed teams, handled

    A team turning up a player short is docked automatically — 25%, then 33%, then 50% of that game's shots — counted per season and marked on the fixture for everyone to see.

  • Withdrawals without wreckage

    Withdraw a team and its results are stripped or voided per your league's policy, and its rinks are freed.

  • Roll-over with a promotion preview

    Next season starts from this one — teams, settings, and a preview of exactly who goes up and who goes down before you commit.

Managers invite from the interest pool — places go out in order

Ways in

New members find their game

The hardest thing at a new club is finding out that there even is a triples league on Tuesdays — and then getting into it when you don't know a soul. Bowlside makes both sides easy.

  • What's on, at last

    Every league's day, time, months and format on one page, so a member can see at a glance what they could be playing in.

  • An interest pool for newcomers

    Register interest in a league — not a team — with a self-rated experience level. Team managers invite from the pool, and places go out in the order they're accepted.

  • Apply to a team, or be found

    Members apply to a specific team, or flag themselves as a free agent for any captain short of a player. Either side accepts or declines — no awkward doorstep conversations.
