Get the most out of Pindeck

Pindeck works best when your whole bowling life lives in one place. Setting up your account and role is the first step toward unified performance data, cleaner competition, and better recruiting visibility.

1. Sign up with email or Google.
2. Pick your role — League Bowler, Tournament Director, League Secretary, or Bracket Owner.
3. Confirm your profile basics so your stats, history, and opportunities can travel with you.

Your profile is your bowling identity. A complete profile makes recruiting easier, event registration faster, and your analytics more accurate because every score is tied to the real you.

1. Add your name, location, and bowling background.
2. Set your dominant hand, style, and typical lane conditions.
3. Upload a photo and share your profile link when coaches or directors ask for it.

Your equipment is half the story. Tracking every ball, layout, surface, and change lets Pindeck show you what actually scores instead of what you remember scoring.

1. Go to Profile → Arsenal and add each ball with brand, layout, surface, and drilling details.
2. Log surface changes and maintenance so trends connect back to real equipment changes.
3. Your gear auto-fills when you score or enter an event — no repeating yourself.

Score your first game so Pindeck can begin building your performance history and identifying useful trends. One game is data; dozens of games become insight.

1. Tap Score from the dashboard or within an event.
2. Tap the pins you knock down for each shot. Frames fill in automatically.
3. Mark pocket hits, line, and ball used so your analytics stay sharp from day one.

Analytics turn raw scores into actionable feedback. When you know your strike percentage, carry percentage, miss patterns, and spare conversion, you can practice with purpose instead of guessing.

1. Open your dashboard to see key stats at a glance.
2. Review strike %, carry %, pocket %, and spare conversion over time.
3. Spot trends by oil pattern, event type, and equipment to plan smarter adjustments.

The right ball decision can save a series. Comparing balls by strike percentage, carry, and lane condition helps you build a smarter arsenal and make faster changes during competition.

1. Open your Arsenal and select Ball Comparison.
2. Filter by oil pattern, surface, or layout to see what works where.
3. Use the comparison to decide what to drill, resurface, or retire next.

AI-powered insights help you see what is changing before it becomes a bad habit. Pindeck surfaces ball recommendations, carry trends, miss patterns, and opportunities you might miss on your own.

1. Check the AI Insights panel on your dashboard for personalized observations.
2. Review pattern-based performance alerts and improvement suggestions.
3. Use AI notes to guide practice, ball changes, and surface adjustments.

Events and brackets are where competition data becomes real. Joining through Pindeck keeps your results verified, your payouts tracked, and your history searchable for recruiting and rankings.

1. Tap Join and enter the 6-character event code, or scan the QR on the lane.
2. Follow live brackets and match scores as the event runs.
3. Access your verified recap after the event for your profile or recruiting packet.

A verified recruiting profile gives coaches confidence in your numbers. Tournament history, verified averages, and trend data make it easier to get noticed by the right programs.

1. Make sure your profile, arsenal, and scores are up to date.
2. Enable your recruiting profile and share your public link.
3. Add tournament results, achievements, and video if you have them.

Your wallet and profile settings keep competition smooth. From payouts to payment methods, keeping this updated means you can enter events, claim prizes, and update your data without friction.

1. Open Wallet to see balance, ticket history, and pending prizes.
2. Add or manage payment methods for in-app events and raffles.
3. Update traits, oil-pattern notes, and preferences to keep analytics accurate.

Better-run events mean more bowlers, cleaner payouts, and stronger centers. Organizers use Pindeck to replace spreadsheets with live brackets, registration, scoring, and post-event reports.

1. Create an event, choose the bracket format, set entry fees, and pick Cash or In-App mode.
2. Share the join code on the lane. Entrants sign up and pay in-app or in cash.
3. Run brackets, side bets, Baker team matches, and raffles from one dashboard.
4. Download recap reports and shareable recaps when the event wraps.
