The new BowlsChat Sport website is now available with initial content and additional features (see the FAQ Menu during Q1 2024 for full details).
All relevant information from the old BowlsChat/BowlsChat Sport websites and other public sources will be added here over the next few months and include all players, teams, fixtures, results, tables, rankings, videos etc for every match in all Scramble events from the start in October 2019 up to the most recent event in 2024.
A new, single page BowlsChat website will link across to the content on BowlsChat Sport, keeping everything in one place.
The New BowlsChat Sport Website
The old BowlsChat website provided a wide range of information and the old BowlsChat Sport website focused on Bowling Events.
The new BowlsChat Sport website brings everything together in one place and is for all the Bowling Community with a Directory, Events Calendar, League and Cup Competitions, Store, Latest News, Live updates of Social Feed and Video Collections, Library, Partnership opportunities and different levels of Membership.
Leagues, Competitions and Events
BowlsChat Sport has been designed for Outdoor, Indoor and Short Mat Leagues, Competitions and Events anywhere in the world, bringing them together in one place with easy viewing and live updates for anyone interested in the sport.
The content has been tailored to suit Players, Teams, Officials, Clubs, Associations, Organisations and Sponsors with all features easily updated on the website.
BowlsChat Sport will be a benefit to Associations and Clubs providing official League/Cup information with live news, scores, results and more posted by our bowling community members, all helping to reduce administration time and offering an opportunity to reach a wider audience as well as promote the sport in different ways.
Key Features of Leagues and Competitions on BowlsChat Sport
A user friendly interface will give you fast and easy access to all the information you need to keep up to date with the latest news for any league, competition or event, including players, teams, draws, fixtures, live scores, rink scores/points, results, match photos/videos/reports, tables, player profiles, stats, rankings and a lot more for multiple seasons.
All leagues, competitions and events will allow access by one or more members to update any content from the website. Players may update their profiles and check their team/club news, training/match schedules, stats/rankings and many other features.
Events - Add one or more events with League and Cup competitions at different venues, allocate officials to various roles, update everyone with photos, videos and the latest news, increase revenue with sponsors and share anywhere on web/mobile, including social media.
Competitions - Add any number of Leagues and Cup competitions in an event with rules, draws, fixtures, results, points, tables, teams, players and officials as well as entry fees. There are different types of leagues, competitions and scoring systems available.
Teams - Add Teams individually or by bulk csv import and allocate to competitions. Manage squad selection, training schedules, attendance, equipment and fees, keeping players up to date with team news, sponsors, rankings and match information.
Players - Import players or add manually and allocate to team squad for match selection or reserve list. Players may view all personal stats, rankings, matches, teams and events in the player area and register to update their profile details and image as well as pay fees to enter competitions.
Matches - Add friendly or competitive matches one by one or use the automatic schedule to create fixtures for a season. Allocate players to rinks, update live scores (total, ends, sets), add timeline events by player (good shot, drive etc), photos, videos and results as well as team/player points, sanctions and match reports.
Venues - Add all locations for matches with full address geo-mapped to the green, road/rail/walking directions and number of rinks or mats available. Allocate venues to matches manually or allow the home venue for each team to be used automatically.
BowlsChat Sport does not require a duplication of work by Club/Association/Organisation committees providing official League/Cup/Event information and we believe the opposite is the case with workload reduced due to the many extra features available on the website.
Additional Information
All League/Cup Competitions and Events are added and updated by BowlsChat Sport and our bowling community members.
BowlsChat Sport does not claim to be the official source of information, we are providing a platform for the whole bowling community to view League/Cup Competitions and Events from multiple Clubs/Associations/Organisations in one place on our website.
The live news, scores, results and more that our members post will help to reduce administration time for officials/committees and offer an opportunity to reach a wider audience as well as promote the sport in different ways.
A member of BowlsChat Sport may also be an official in a Club/Association/Organisation but any role or roles they have on BowlsChat Sport will be voluntary. If members wish to assist BowlsChat Sport with adding new league/cup competitions and/or live updates, please let us know by using the Contact Form.
There are unlimited places available and a member of BowlsChat Sport may volunteer for more than one role. If, for example, several members are going to a match and volunteer to update scores, that is perfectly fine as it only takes a few seconds to update content on any device and having more than one person makes it easier to keep the bowling community
up to date.
