Bowling scoring software

[GrumpyCatFace]

Does anyone have knowledge of the typical contract a bowling center signs for their scoring software? I have an idea for a new program that could do it better.

To be precise, I want to send the scoring data to an app. What kind of protections are built into that?

What software are you referring too? The scoring and management software that runs the center like Quibicas Conquerer system, That handles the front desk, scorers etc.

or the League Secretary software such as BLS 2020 by CDE software which just about everyone uses.

If you mean center sending the bowlers live scoring etc to a phone, They already have those.


I don't really know how the software is setup or written though.

Yeah, like BLS. I just chatted up a former alley owner who got me to their site. Looks like they’re doing the same thing. I’ve only seen it used once, but I didn’t know they were looking at doing pin fall tracking.

I could definitely make a better app for it, but that’s probably not enough to compete wholesale with them. Any idea what their pricing looks like?
