BowlsKnockout
Read full descriptionHide full description
Bowls Knockout turns a club bag of names into a printable draw in under a minute. Pick a format, add players or teams, and the bracket, schedule and rink list are ready to share. Built for club secretaries and roll-up organisers who’d rather be on the green than wrestling with a spreadsheet. Formats include byes, prelims, groups, and groups plus knockout, covering everything from simple brackets to full competitions with group stages feeding into finals. A live calculator shows byes, qualifiers, total matches and rounds for any player count, and lets you estimate total tournament time based on rinks and match length before creating the draw. Run singles, pairs, triples or fours, with support for team entries and seeding. Seeded players are distributed across the bracket, while groups can be balanced automatically using a snake draft. During play, results can be recorded quickly, with winners automatically progressing through the bracket. Optional rink assignments, per-round deadlines, and a pinned “Next Up” card help keep everything on track. Group standings update live with full statistics. Create a polished, print-ready PDF including brackets, group tables, and match cards. Share via AirPrint or send directly, with a Champion banner added once the final is complete. Built natively for iOS, the app is fast, works offline, and looks great in both light and dark mode. Whether running a small roll-up or a large open tournament, Bowls Knockout keeps draws, schedules, and scores organised in one place.

Verdict
The clearest difference is price: HowDidiDo at Free against BowlsKnockout's $1.99. HowDidiDo also leads on iOS requirement (15.0.0 vs 18.0). BowlsKnockout's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 2). On ads and device support there is nothing between them.
