Youth bowling tournaments, without the chaos.
Pinsetter handles virtually everything involved — registration, email confirmations, scoring & standings, financial reports, and even scholarship tracking.
No monthly cost. A small platform fee per entry.
All the stuff you've always done by hand — now fully automated.
Simple online registration, so bowlers and their parents can register themselves. No more manual data entry or chasing kids for missing information.
Online credit card payments that go straight into your bank account. Receipts sent automatically. Still wanna take cash or checks? No problem.
Everything lives in one simple dashboard that everyone on your staff can see: Divisions, squads, entries, lane assignments, payments, scoring, all of it.
Everything a tournament needs.
A single system - from the day you open registration to the day the scholarships get posted to SMART.
Easy online registration
Bowlers pick their division and squads themselves. Enforces entry caps, division requirements, and proof of averages.
Communication
Entry confirmations and day-before reminders send themselves — and you can push custom messages at any time.
Payment tracking
Take entry fees online or in person. Card, cash, check, or custom payment methods. Every payment lands in one ledger.
Personnel & permissions
Invite team members at the level you choose — full access, just one or two features, or even a check-in-only portal.
Simple changes
Add, swap, or drop a bowler’s squad signup in seconds. Plus an automatic “paper trail” (without the paper).
Lane assignments & check-in
Assign lanes in seconds, and check bowlers in via a special, simplified volunteer portal.
Score entry & standings
Your team enters scores, and standings calculate automatically, even accounting for kids bowling multiple squads entries.
Scholarships & payout tracking
Allocate scholarships based on standings (or whatever!), print certificates, and track transfers to SMART.
Financial reports
Fees in, prizes out, what’s still owed, lineage due… plus a settlement sheet you can hand to your bookkeeper at the end.
Optional add-on modules.
For directors running more robust operations. Turn them on per tournament so you never pay for stuff you don't use.
Junior Gold Qualifying
Run a Junior Gold qualifier without a second system: verify and manage memberships, organize qualification attempts by squad, award and track qualifications as bowlers earn them, and print results for parents.
Pop-Up Pro Shop & Merch Sales
Inventory tracking and day-of point of sale for physical goods like balls, shammies, shirts, etc. Pre-sell during registration, or set up a table the day-of (or both!). All sales land in the same financial reports as everything else.
