Bowling leagues
Run your bowling league.
Scratch bowling leagues: series of games, a point for each game won and one for total pins, and standings that add it up for you.
What is the best app to run a bowling league?
For a scratch team league that wants points and standings without a spreadsheet, Beleeg works: captains enter each game’s team pins, and Beleeg awards a point per game won plus a point for the higher series. It is free for organizers; Beleeg keeps a flat $3 when a player pays online.
For a handicap league, Beleeg is not the right tool: it does not track averages or apply handicaps. Use bowling-specific league software for that.

Scoring
How bowling scoring works in Beleeg
A match is a series of 3 games by default; you can pick 1, 2, 3 or 5. Captains enter each team’s total pins for each game.
Each game won is worth 1 point, and the team with more total pins over the series gets 1 more. You can change both numbers or turn the pins point off.
Lineups
Lineups and rosters
Teams bowl 4 at a time with room on the bench for subs.
Standings
Standings and tiebreaks
Standings add up the series points. Pins for and against are shown too.
When two teams have the same points, Beleeg looks at head-to-head first, then pins scored minus pins allowed, then pins scored. You can put these in a different order in your settings.
A season, start to finish
Example: a Tuesday night league
- 12 teams of 4, 3 games a night, September to April.
- Blocked-out holiday weeks push the season later instead of dropping a night.
- After the last frame, a captain enters both teams’ pins for each game; the other captain confirms.
- At the halfway point you can start the second half with fresh standings.
What every league gets
- A schedule built from how many games each team plays and which nights you play. Block out a date and the season moves back instead of losing a game.
- Captains enter scores from their phones, and the other captain confirms or disputes.
- Divisions, and a single-elimination playoff seeded from the standings.
- Players join with a code or register and pay online. Free for organizers; Beleeg keeps a flat $3 when a player pays online.
- A public page with your schedule and standings.

What Beleeg does not do for bowling
- Beleeg scores scratch pins only. It does not work out averages or apply handicaps to scores.
- It does not keep frame-by-frame scores or player averages.
