The All-in-One Bowls Club Management System
Running a bowls league should be enjoyable, not limited to spreadsheets. If you’ve ever thought, “there must be an easier way”, you’re right.
Bowlr’s league management system simplifies every season. You can manage leagues more efficiently and fairly. From creating fixtures to sharing results, you’ll reduce errors without losing control.
Trusted by 200+ bowls clubs across the UK, Bowlr was designed with bowls clubs in mind. Whether you’re planning weekly matchplay or an entire season of tournaments, we’ll help youget back to the game, not the admin.
The smarter way to set up and run club competitions.
A league management system is a digital platform. It allows bowls clubs to create, schedule, and manage leagues with ease. Best of all, they can do this without relying on paper diaries or spreadsheets.
Bowlr’s system handles fixture generation, results, rink allocation, and table updates in one secure, cloud-based hub. You can manage everything from any device – at the club or from home – and keep all your members informed without extra effort.
According to the 2023 Active Lives Survey by Sport England, bowls remains one of the most participated sports among over-65s in the UK. So, there’s certainly the need for tools that streamline admin for clubs with volunteer teams.
With Bowlr, you can:

Create a new league, copy previous leagues or import leagues
Auto-generate Fixtures
And flag diary clashes early
Balance Rinks Fairly
Using a smart scheduling algorithm

Creating your league shouldn’t take all weekend. With Bowlr, it doesn’t. You can create a new league from scratch, copy one from a previous season, or import team data directly from a spreadsheet.
Everything from scoring rules and divisions to match dates and league names can be tailored to your club’s needs. And if plans change mid-season? You can update fixtures or formats with just a few clicks - no paperwork required.
Fixture planning used to mean hours of tweaking and triple-checking. With Bowlr, it’s done in seconds. Once your teams are set, simply hit ‘Generate’ and your full schedule appears – balanced, accurate, and ready for review.
You’ll get a clear preview of dates and matchups so you can spot any potential conflicts before they go live. If you’re using Bowlr’s club booking calendar, fixtures populate directly to your diary – no re-entry, no confusion.
Rink fairness can be a headache, especially when teams notice patterns. Bowlr solves that with a built-in balancing tool that evenly distributes fixtures across all available rinks.
Just click ‘Improve Rink Balance’, and the system recalculates until it finds the fairest combination. You’ll see balance ratings instantly, so you can make tweaks (or leave it ideally as is) with confidence.
Once your fixture list is confirmed, Bowlr populates your club’s online diary. It can be viewed from home, at the club, or even on TV screens in your lounge or reception area.
That means fewer phone calls, fewer questions, and a smoother experience for players and admin teams alike. Need to move a fixture later on? You can – without disrupting the rest of the season.
When the match is over, your work should be too. With Bowlr, players can enter their own scores using a tablet at the club (optional) – no chasing, no manual data entry.
League tables refresh instantly and accurately. This lets players see standings in real time and saves your team hours each week. Clubs already using Bowlr have found it boosts engagement and reduces errors.
