Before play starts
Create your event, choose the format, set rounds and rinks, add teams manually or import them, then generate a draw that is easy to review and adjust.
What is RinkDraw?
Everything you need to run a better tournament day.
RinkDraw is a free, cloud-based tournament platform for lawn bowls clubs. It takes the scattered jobs—team entry, draw preparation, rink allocation, scoring, standings, finals, printing and communication—and brings them together in one calm workspace.
02
While games are running
Keep every fixture in view, move matches when plans change, enter scores from any device and let the ladder update as results are saved.
03
For everyone following
Publish a simple live page with results and standings. Players, families and spectators can follow along without creating an account.
The useful details are covered
Powerful enough for the day. Simple enough for volunteers.
Flexible tournament formats
Run singles, pairs, triples, fours, round robin, knockout, round robin with finals, set play or a custom format.
Smart draw generation
Create balanced rounds across your available rinks, support odd team numbers and avoid repeat opponents wherever possible.
Simple team management
Add teams one at a time, import a CSV, record each player and club, and keep team numbers consistent throughout the event.
Live scoring and standings
Enter results as games finish and see wins, draws, losses, shots for and against, margins and ladder points update automatically.
Finals and tournament control
Move from qualifying rounds into semi-finals and finals, adjust the draw, manage registrations and keep an organiser timeline.
Print and share everywhere
Print draws, scorecards, team lists, results and standings, or share a public live-results link and QR code.
Why it is free
Good club software should not be another burden.
RinkDraw is being built for organisers and volunteers who should spend less time wrestling with spreadsheets and more time enjoying the bowls. The core platform is free for clubs of every size.
Built to keep getting better
Optional donations, future branded items and other simple funding ideas will help us keep improving RinkDraw without putting essential tournament tools behind a paywall.
