Tournament Sense is a bowling app for league and tournament bowlers who want more than a score. Track every game frame by frame, scan a scoreboard photo to log a whole series in seconds, and see the stats that actually change your game: strike percentage, spare conversion, pocket and carry, split and leave heatmaps, and how each ball in your arsenal really performs. TRACK EVERY SHOT Frame-by-frame entry with a tap-the-pins deck, or scan a scoreboard photo and get every frame — not just the total. STATS THAT MEAN SOMETHING Strike percentage, spare conversion, clean game rate, pocket and carry, first-ball average, ball speed, entry angle, mark rate, and strike streaks — doubles, turkeys and four-baggers. SPARES AND LEAVES A unified Pins hub with per-shot spare history, leave heatmaps, and a By Ball view showing how each ball in your arsenal actually performs. BUILD YOUR OWN REPORTS Group any stat by game, session, month, league, tournament, time of day or lane pair, then export to CSV or PDF. 14 ready-made reports included. LIVE SCORING Share your game as you bowl. Friends and family follow along in real time, and a full-screen overlay makes it look right on a stream or a house monitor. LEAGUES AND TOURNAMENTS See day, time and open spots before you join, register without leaving the app, manage your team roster if you are the captain, and follow standings as they are posted. SIDE POTS AND BRACKETS Buy into a side pot straight from your phone, pay by card or settle at the desk, and follow your brackets as they are scored. YOUR ARSENAL Every ball with its layout, surface, and the numbers that matter — and which spares each one actually converts. MONEY IN, MONEY OUT Entry fees, side pots, winnings and expenses tracked per event, with net profit and ROI you can trust. BUILT FOR BAD CENTER WI-FI Scoring is local first. Searching for centers, joining leagues and checking your balance all handle a weak signal honestly instead of hanging or going blank.
