BOWLR COMPETITIONS PORTAL CASE STUDY – BOWLS ENGLAND

A SYSTEM TO STREAMLINE ADMIN AND ENHANCE THE PLAYER EXPERIENCE 

Bowls England

Not only do we work with county bowling associations and both indoor and outdoor bowls clubs across the UK, we’re also proud to work with Bowls England, the national governing body for lawn bowls.

A system to streamline admin and enhance the player experience

Using the system we developed, Bowls England can create a wide range of different competition types with specific scoring rules. Competitions can also be divided into early rounds and final stages. 

Additionally, entrants can initially be grouped by geographical area. At this stage, all competitors go through and play a match within their county. Winners go through to final stages and, at this point, a new knockout tournament is created, where winners from each area can play each other. 

Improved player experience

Players can enter competitions online and pay entry fees safely and securely via the Stripe payment gateway.  

Because not everyone will use card payments, there is an option for Bowls England to create separate entries in the backend of the system and make a note that people will be paying by different methods. This streamlines admin and helps the management team track payment information.

Why use the Bowlr management system?

A major benefit of the Bowlr system is that it streamlines admin and automates comms to clubs and players. For example, players receive an automated email once match fixtures are generated, as well as who they’ll play next when they win their match.
