What

Provides a mobile (Android only atm) app that allows you to:

• record the scores for a Lawn Bowls match
• track your personal performance in a match

Game mode

Record and present the results of a game. Unlimited ends.

Record (Dark theme) Record (Light theme) Results

Track mode

Record your progress in a game. Record how many bowls were 'close' to the jack, and how many ended up scoring. Closeness is dependent on you and your skill level. Could be anything within 1 metre, 1/2 metre, centimetres!

Record Results

Preferences

Preferences features an 'Auto Score' setting. Turning this on is particularly useful in Game mode as it means you only have to record the increase in score for the end winning team. The 'Auto save seconds' can be set to anything between 1 and 15 seconds. When you enter the score and after the specified time, the ends will be incremented and the end result saved.

Open docs/autoscore.webm to see auto scoring.
