Manage Lane pairings and Teams

1. Set up the lane assignment

Go to the Basic tab to set up your league calendar. Add your position rounds and fun nights, and shift weeks for holidays or other non playing days. The platform will automatically apply the USBC schedule template for team and lane pairing on regular league weeks.

Next, open the Lane Assignment tab to verify or adjust the weekly lane setup.

Make sure you’ve selected the correct league week. Use the lane drop down to move a team to another lane, or the team drop down to assign a different team to that lane. Save your changes when you’re done.

If you want to revert to the default pairing, go back to the Basic tab, tap on the desired week, and choose to reset the lane assignment according to the USBC schedule template.

   

Important note: The platform listens to all lanes in the center and automatically adjusts lane assignments and match ups if a machine breaks down or similar issues occur. You don’t need to update this manually during play. However, you can change the lane assignment after the game has been played if you want to set up a different team/lane pairing than the one the platform detected. Visit the Lane Assignment tab and update the lane pairing to apply your changes. The team pairing will update instantly, and the match points will be recalculated accordingly.

2. Set up the team line-up

Go to the Teams tab to review your team line up. Select the correct week in the week selector. You will now see all teams and their rosters, including both ordinary team members and substitutes.

You can tap and hold a bowler’s name to move a player from substitute to ordinary team member.

Tap the Add Bowler icon to open the window for adding a new bowler to the team.

When you begin typing a name, the system automatically searches the Master Bowler List. If a match appears, select it from the drop down menu.

When you’re done, tap Save and choose whether you want the changes to apply only for the current week or from this week and onward.

3. Master Bowler list

All bowlers are stored in the Master Bowler List, accessible from the top BOWLERS menu. There you can update bowler names, add bowler details, or merge duplicate bowler profiles. You can also tap a bowler to see all leagues they participate in.

Merge player profiles

Enter the player’s name and the system will display all similar matches. Mark the check boxes next to the bowlers you want to merge, then select Merge players.

On the next screen, choose which player profile to keep. The other profile — including its scores — will be merged into the selected player. Once merged, the duplicate profile will be deleted. The update will apply across all leagues where this player is registered.

4. Adjusting a past / completed occurrence

When a league occurrence has been finalized, you can still edit the roster, player positions, and scores if needed.

Go to the Weekly Standings tab and scroll down to the matches. Hover over the match you want to edit and tap the green pen icon to open the match edit interface.

Change bowler position

Hover over a player’s name and a six dot handle will appear. Tap and hold to drag the player to a new position. (Player position only affects scoring in match play formats.)

   

Add a new bowler to the team

If a new bowler participated in the match, they must be added to the team as either an ordinary player or a substitute. This ensures that their average and handicap can be calculated correctly for upcoming weeks.

A yellow background indicates that League Manager cannot match the name to an existing player. If the bowler already exists in the team roster, simply tap on the name to use the drop down to connect the scores to the correct player.

If the bowler has not been added to the roster before, you can add them directly from the match edit interface:

• Hover over the bowler you want to add.
• Tap the three dot menu and select Manage bowler.
• Choose Connect bowler.
• If the same bowler already exists in the league (for another team), you will be asked whether you want to connect the profiles. Select “Add as sub” to add the existing bowler as a substitute on your team. You can adjust this later in the Teams tab.

If the same bowler already exists in the league (for another team), you will be asked whether you want to connect the profiles. Select Add as team sub if you like to connect it to the same profile and add the bowler as a sub in this team (recommended).

Absent and Injured scores

Absent scores are automatically applied when all player scores are identical, which indicates an absent round. You’ll see an “a” added before the score to indicate it (for example, a145).

You can also mark absent scores manually. Tap the three dot menu and select Absent or Injured to mark all games for that player as absent or injured.

Hover over a specific score, tap the edit pen icon, and update only that individual game. You can change the score or set that single game to Absent or Injured, then Save.

Vacant scores

The platform automatically adds vacant scores when the imported lane data does not include enough players to meet the legal line up. If you want to add vacant scores manually, tap Add vacant. The system will apply the vacant score defined in your league rules.

After tapping the add vacant score, it will be displayed like this (with a “v” in the front):
