About Score Entry
I can't enter more than one practice and league score per day
You can enter multiple scores in a single day. By using the "Tag" feature on the score entry screen, you can distinguish between practice, league, tournaments, etc.

Pin input is tedious every time
You can change score entry settings by tapping the settings button in the upper right of the score entry screen. By changing the initial pin state, you can set pins to always be down or standing.
About Score Analysis
I want to see averages and high scores by tag
You can check performance by tag using the search and analysis feature.

How do I register my ball / ball set?
You can register your ball from the ball management screen.

Registered balls can be selected during score entry, and performance by ball can be analyzed.
Is CSV import possible?
Currently, we do not provide import functionality from CSV or other files.
We are considering this for future feature additions. Please send requests through the contact form.
What is High Series?
High Series is the highest total score of 3 consecutive games. Series are determined in groups of 3 games: games 1-2-3, games 4-5-6, games 7-8-9, etc.
For example, if you bowl 200, 220, 210 in 3 consecutive games, that series score is 630. It is calculated at fixed intervals, not arbitrary 3-game sets like games 2-4.
