LaneStats guide

Tap "Strike" then "Confirm Roll". Two taps.

On roll 2, tap "Strike" (selects all remaining) then "Confirm Roll" if you got them all. Or tap individual pins you picked up.

Tap "Confirm Roll" without selecting any pins.

Auto-detected. Toggle manually with "Mark Split" if needed. Shows as a red dot on the scorecard.

Strike = two bonus rolls with pin reset. Spare = one bonus roll. Open = game over.

Tap any completed frame on the scorecard to re-enter it. Scores recalculate automatically.

Below each frame you'll see a mini pin diagram showing your leave:

After a 7 on the first ball the keypad shows 0 to 3. After a strike in the tenth you get a fresh 0 to 10. You cannot enter an impossible frame.

Count frames store the real counts and nothing else. Scores, strikes, spares, averages and streaks are exact. Pin leave charts, split conversion and the 10-pin rate simply skip those frames rather than guessing which pins fell.

You can switch at the start of any frame, in either direction, as often as you like. Mid-frame the switch is locked so a count and a pin selection never mix inside one frame.

One trip to the alley. Holds one or more games. Set date, location, and league when you create it.

Add as many games as you want. Series totals (sum of all completed games) appear automatically on any session with two or more games.

Under your stats on the dashboard: your weekly streak (weeks in a row with at least one game, and whether this week is covered yet), your next league night (worked out from the weekday you bowl league most), and this week's games, best and average. A streak that is not yet covered this week turns amber with a reminder.

Each card shows every completed score as a small chip, coloured by band: under 150, 150s to 190s, 200+, 250+ and 300. Tap Compact above the list to fit more sessions on screen; the choice is remembered on that device.

Tap ★ to mark a session as a favorite. Filter by favorites on your dashboard, or with the token is:fav.

Public sessions show on the feed and your profile. Toggle to private anytime from the session page.

The dashboard lists trips to the alley. The Games page lists every single game, newest first, with strikes, spares and opens on each row. Switch between them with the toggle above the list. Both pages understand the same search language.

Type plain words for alley names, notes, leagues or balls. These tokens do more:

Tokens combine: ball:hyroad 200+ is:league 2026 is every 200+ league game on the Hyroad this year. On the sessions page score tokens match the session's high game or any game in it; on the games page they match the game itself.

The pills under the search bar (This month, 200+, Clean games, each league, each ball) add or remove a token with one tap. The month rail below them jumps to any month and shows how many sessions it holds. Press / on a keyboard to focus the search.

At the top of the Games page is a calendar of the last year, one square per day. Colour is the best game that day, brightness is how many games. Tap any square to filter to that day. The header counts your games, days bowled and current weekly streak.

When sorted by date, games are grouped by month with a sticky header showing that month's count, average and best, plus a one tap filter. The strip above the list shows count, average, high and 200+ for whatever you have filtered, with a bar showing how the scores split across bands. Sort by Highest or Lowest to see extremes instead.

Every completed game on the Games page and on a session page has a small + button. Tap it for a menu of your collections with checkmarks; tap a name to add or remove the game. Nothing else about the game changes.

On the Games page tap Select, then tap rows to pick them (or All on page). A bar at the bottom counts your picks; Add to collection opens the same sheet and one tap adds every picked game. On a session page, Collect all does the same for every completed game in that session.

Each card on the Collections page has Rename, Make public or private, and Delete. Inside a collection, the x on a row removes that game from the collection only; the game itself is never touched.

One collection is special. Showcase holds up to 12 games and appears on your public profile as score tiles with strikes, spares and your note. It exists from your first tap; you never need to create it.

Open a collection and type a short note under any game (why it mattered, what you changed, lane conditions). Notes save as you type and show on the showcase tile.

Custom collections can be public (listed on your profile as chips anyone can open) or private. Showcase is public by definition. Deleting a collection never deletes games.

Use in:tournament with any other tokens, for example in:tournament 200+.

On your session page tap Bowl with friends, pick Practice, League night or Match, and you get a six character code and a link.

Friends type the code into the Crew code box on their dashboard or open the link, then tap Join. They get their own session for the same date and alley, or can attach a session they already started today. Everyone needs a lanestats account.

Ranked cards show each bowler's series, average and games won, with a live pulse and the frame in progress while someone is mid game. Each game is a chip coloured by score band; the game winner is outlined. With two or more games a game by game table appears below. The board refreshes itself every 12 seconds while anyone is still bowling.

Same board, but games won is the headline: a game counts as won when one bowler has the top score for that game number. Ties count for nobody.

Crew members always see each other's crew sessions. Outsiders with the link only see sessions that are public. Leaving keeps your session and games; the crew disappears when the last person leaves. Crews hold up to 16 bowlers.

Live scoring broadcasts one bowler's session to spectators. A crew is several bowlers scoring at once. Use both if you like: your crew session can also go live.

Any CSV with a date column and a score column. Optional columns: location (or alley, center), league, ball, notes, game. Column order does not matter and headers are case insensitive.

date,location,score,league
2026-03-14,Lucky Strike Lanes,187,Tuesday Mixed
2026-03-14,Lucky Strike Lanes,203,Tuesday Mixed
3/21/2026,Lucky Strike Lanes,176,

Games on the same date and alley become one session. Dates like 2026-03-14, 3/14/2026, 14.03.2026 and Mar 14, 2026 all parse. You can also paste rows straight into the box instead of uploading a file.

Upload lanestats_games.csv from Records > Export. Add lanestats_frames.csv as the second file and every frame, pin and split comes back exactly as it was. Balls and leagues that do not exist yet are created by name.

Games imported without frames count toward averages, highs, series and 200+ totals. They have no frames, so strike rate, spare conversion and pin leaves ignore them, and they are never called clean games.

You see every session that would be created with its scores as chips, which balls and leagues are new, and a warning on any date and alley you already have. Imports always add sessions; they never merge with or overwrite existing ones. Imported sessions are private unless you tick Public. Limits: 8MB per file, 3,000 games per import.

My Info from the menu, or directly on any session page.

You'll see "+ Ball" and "+ League" buttons on every session page and scoring screen. Tap either one to open a popup and add right there without leaving the page. If you start a game without any balls added, the add-ball popup opens automatically.

League name + bowling alley. Assign sessions to leagues to track league averages separately.

Add oil patterns in My Info too. Select when scoring to filter stats by pattern later (house vs sport).

Ball dropdown appears on the session page next to "+ New Game". Pick before each game. Switch mid-game from the scoring screen dropdown.

Strike/spare % by frame (1-10). See if you fade late or rally at the end.

Which pins you leave most. Hotter = practice these first.

Most common leaves ranked by frequency with conversion rates. Shows exactly which spares to practice.

Average score per month over the past year. Tracks your progression.

Filter by ball, league, oil pattern, location, or date range. Compare house vs sport patterns, check league-only average, etc.

Tap "Go Live" on a session page. Get a shareable link:

Full scorecard with pin leave diagrams. Refreshes every 20 seconds.

Active while you bowl. Expires 30 min after last roll. 10-hour hard cap. Stop manually anytime.

Cards for games, sessions, and overall stats, ready to post. Tap Share on a session or the stats page.

The same share window appears on games (including the completion card the moment a game ends), sessions, your stats and profile, records, collections and your showcase, crew boards, head to head comparisons and Wrapped.

Pick a style at the top of the share window; your choice is remembered on every card.

Type a caption and it appears on the card (and in the image). Share hands the card's text and link to any app through your phone's share sheet. Copy text puts a one-line summary on the clipboard for a post or a group chat; Copy link appears when the page is public.

When a game ends the completion card checks for a personal best, a 200, a 250, a perfect game, a clean game or a big strike count, and says so. The milestone rides on the game's share card and the Share button lights up, so the moment worth posting is one tap away.

Save image renders the card to a PNG at phone-screen resolution. On phones it opens the native share sheet so you can post straight to a story or send it in a chat; on desktop it downloads. A plain screenshot still works. Copy link appears when the session is public.

"Show Pins" adds mini pin diagrams under each frame. "Hide Pins" for cleaner cards.

Session share cards include the series total whenever the session has two or more completed games.

Share your overall stats too: average, strike/spare rates, pin leave heat map, and more.

Three new challenges every Monday. Auto-check when you finish a game.

"Bowl 200+", "Get a turkey", "Convert 10 spares this week", "Beat your average by 20 pins", "Bowl a clean game", "Throw 25 strikes".

Pick two balls, see which performs better. Green = winner in each row.

Before league night. "Recent 5 Avg" reflects current form, not data from months ago.

2+ balls in My Info, games scored with each.

Leave the feed open and new games appear as people finish them, without a refresh. A "Bowling right now" strip at the top shows sessions that are live this minute; tap one to watch. Session pages, crew boards and live views update the same way while a game is in progress, and everything pauses when the tab is hidden so it costs nothing in the background.

Your profile opens with the games you chose to showcase (see Collections) and chips for any public collections. Pick the games that tell your story, not just the highest scores.

Public at lanestats.com/u/@you. Stats, achievements, sessions. Viewable by anyone.

Following = people you follow. Public = everyone. Trending = 200+ games this week.

Visit a profile, tap "Compare" for side-by-side stats with radar chart.

Auto-earned milestones: game counts, score thresholds, clean games, series (600+/700+/800+), strike streaks (turkey, six-bagger), split conversions. Higher ones replace lower in the same category.
