Bowling Score and Analysis Introduction

**The KingPin** · 01-01-2009, 12:48 AM

Hello BowlingBoards.com Bowling Forum members,

We are excited that it is 2009 and as promised we are bringing you great bowling resources.

We are proud to introduce the new BowlingBoards.com BSA Program.

This will be going live very soon. But I wanted to get you already and acquainted with what we are doing.

This new program will allow for you to:

Enter your weekly bowling scores
Track what games you bowl better. Example: maybe you bowl better in game 2 each week and so on
Track your percentages of scores. Example: games between 200 and 220
Track your high games and series
Track multiple leagues
Analyze what will happen if you bowl 5 pins less or over for the next week

And more

I am very grateful to have the opportunity to share this with you all. Again it will be a few days until I feel ready to make it public. But i think you will be very happy with the end result.

I will keep you posted

I've used it before and I was pretty impressed with it. You can even see which pairs you've bowled best on. I'm looking forward to it, and all of you should be, too.

This sounds impressive and can't wait for it to come online and see how it works!!

I was using this on the previous bowling site I was on - but it dropped off activity. I ran into Chris somehow and checked this out. I currently just use an excel sheet with stats - macros - etc, that track lanes, avg, +/- POA, and other stats I want to know about - my past troublesome area single pin spares, so I have a stat for that, I have got up to 95% on single pin spares which increased my average - but splits are up this year due to the style changes I've made which I expected.

Sounds interesting-even for a stat-aholic- like me.

will it have a section for tournaments?

**kev3inp** · 01-03-2009, 04:14 AM

Wow, good question. I really don't know. I've just used it for leagues. I don't bowl very many tournaments. 3 or 4 a year, tops. This year maybe 2. State is too far away.

As it is right now, it doesn't have a separate section for tournaments, but you can always set up a "league" for tournaments. If it is a tournament club, use that as the name. If not and it is you just want to track stats for tournaments, set up a league called Tournaments. For the number of weeks put in what you think you will bowl over the course of a year. As for lanes, put in the number representing the highest in any house you bowl tournaments.

There are a couple other problems. One, it only handles a 3 game format, so if it is a longer format you have to get creative. For example Nationals is a total of 9 games so you can enter as 3 separate weeks. If it is a 4 or 5 game format, you might have to enter 3 games on one week and the remaining 1 or 2 games on the next week.

Another is if you move lanes each game and you want the stats per lane. Unless you get real creative, you wouldn't have the per lane stats.

If this is the program Jim Royce designed, it's a winner! I've used it before...it's a powerful software. The rest of you should enjoy this, once Chris makes it available.
