What's New

One-tap online registration, distance from your location, and a much deeper filter set on the tournament list.

  • Register Online — when a coordinator has wired up online sign-up for their tournament, a green "Register Online" button on the detail screen opens the signup page in your browser; an "Online Sign-up" pill on each card flags which tournaments accept online registration so you can spot them at a glance
  • Use my location — opt in (with an upfront explanation of what it's for and where the data goes) to see how far away each tournament is; toggle off any time from the filter panel, no account required
  • Distance pills & closest-first sort — when location is on, every tournament card shows the distance from you and the list automatically reorders closest-first, on both Home and My Calendar
  • "Within X miles" distance filter — quickly limit results to tournaments within 25 / 50 / 100 / 250 / 500 miles of you
  • Date range filter — pick a From and To date to scope the list to a specific window
  • Age category filter — Youth / Adult / Senior chips alongside the existing Format and Event Type filters
  • "Has flyer" toggle — quickly limit the list to tournaments that have a downloadable flyer attached
  • Bowling center search — type any center name to find every tournament hosted there; autocomplete shows suggestions (with city/state) as you type

New session organization tools and expanded stat filters.

  • Session names — give any session a custom name (e.g. "Friday Night League") so it's easy to find at a glance
  • Group folders — sessions are now displayed inside collapsible group folders; tap a folder to expand or collapse all sessions in that group
