## What is Bowling Match Tracker?

Bowling Tracker is a full-featured scoring and stats app built by a high school bowling coach for high school bowling coaches. Score
head-to-head matches, tri- and quad-team formats, baker games, tournaments, and bracket-play match play — everything you need at
the lanes, in one app.

WHAT'S INCLUDED (FREE)

• Full match scoring — H2H, Tri, Quad, Tournament, and Open Tracking formats
• [+] Match Play — post-qualification bracket rounds with per-game winner tracking, tie handling, and series-score tallies
• [+] Track Teams (Total Pin Count) — cumulative-pin leaderboard for tournaments where the highest total wins
• Split individual and baker scorecards on the same match
• [+] Pin-by-pin tracking with per-frame telemetry (strike/spare rates, first-ball average, 10th-frame average, split conversion %,
spare inventory, condition splits, and a rolling last-10 game average)
• Roster management across seasons, with soft-delete and reactivate
• Concurrent squads (Varsity + JV on one device, no roster overlap)
• Deep match history with season / tournament / opponent filters
• Statistics dashboards per player and per team
• Individual and team PDF reports for parents, ADs, and coaches
• JSON export — round-trip so you can back up, share, or restore between devices
• [+] AirDrop a whole match to another coach in one tap (JSON — lossless, carries pin telemetry and bracket rounds)
• [+] Revive same-day matches back into the live workspace to fix mistakes or finish scoring after a save
• QR-code roster sharing with parents (no accounts, no server)
• Parent-side pin tracker for parents who want to help with data collection

PREMIUM UNLOCK — LIVE MATCH SCORING

Optional one-time in-app purchase. Unlocks:

• Coach-to-coach sync via iCloud — score varsity and JV on separate devices, everything stays in sync
• [+] Same-iCloud sync — score on phone and iPad under your own Apple ID with no share links to manage
• Live scores parents can follow from anywhere with a free companion view (or their existing app)
• [+] Match Play and Track Teams standings publish live to parents too
• Automatic notifications when the match starts, when it ends, and on every 279+ game
• Optional live push to a Google Sheet for broadcasts and public scoreboards

PRIVACY

Your roster and match data stays on your device. iCloud sync is used only if you enable Live Match Scoring, and even then, data flows
through your own iCloud account — the developer never sees it. No analytics, no tracking, no ads.

BUILT FOR HIGH SCHOOL BOWLING

Every design decision comes from real coaching experience: split scorecards for baker + individuals in the same match, oil pattern
tracking, tournament and league flags, historical edit mode for fixing mid-match mistakes, and PDF reports formatted for exactly
what coaches actually hand out.

## Version history (last 2 releases)

### 1.0.1 — 2026-09-26

New features / user-visible
• Coach-to-coach roster QR import  — RosterView can scan another coach's roster QR to pull players in; exact-match names canonicalize, variance falls back to swipe-merge.
• Match Play round-1 notification  — Fires when Tournament match play round 1 gets its first score (signals "resume after lunch break").

Reliability / bug fixes
• Orphan .active CKRecord cleanup — persisted publishedMatchIDs + foreground orphan sweep + LMS-off tombstone carve-out. Fixes phantom active matches on same-iCloud second devices.
• Empty-snapshot .active filter at receiver — LiveMatchReceiver ignores empty payloads so parents don't see blanked scoreboards.
• Roster merge full-coverage rewrite  — merges now rewrite all six player-UUID reference sites, republish affected matches to co-coaches, and block CKShare resurrection via local tombstones.
• Score entry UX polish  — focus-gated autofill + consistent opponent-side behavior.

Stats
• Team Stats sort + squadName pool inference removal — sorted team stats output; retired legacy squadName-based pool inference.

### 1.0 — 2026-09-15
