Sign up

Use the invite link from your manager โ€” it auto-joins you to the league. Or go to app.spareable.org/signup and your manager will add you. Email + password, that's it.

Find your league on Home

Logged in? The Home screen shows your league name, your team, your average, and the next session's lane assignment. Multiple leagues? Use the dropdown in the top-right to switch between them.

Enter your scores on league night

Open Scores, find your name, type your three game scores. Or snap a photo of the scoreboard for AI capture. Your captain taps โœ“ Verify Matchup once to sign off both teams; if anything looks off they can flag specific rows and any matchup participant can fix them inline โ€” mistakes get caught before they hit the standings.

Pay dues from your phone

If your league turned on card payments, the Payments tab shows what you owe and lets you pay by card right there. Side-pot and sweeper entries too. Cash? Hand it to your manager, they'll log it.

Check standings & recaps

The week's recap drops the moment all matchups finalize โ€” high scores, biggest comebacks, perfect games. Standings update live, every Stat / Personal Stat tab is one tap away. No more waiting for the secretary's email.

Practice with Game Tracker

Bowling on a non-league night? Use Game Tracker to score frame-by-frame from the lane โ€” splits, conversions, pin-leave heatmaps. Everything feeds your Personal Stats, separate from league play.

Missing a week? File a protest?

Two buttons sit under your upcoming-session card on Home: โœ‹ Report Absence and โš– File a Protest. Use Report Absence to mark yourself (or your whole team if you're captain) absent for any future week โ€” pick blind score, pre-bowl, post-bowl, or substitute, depending on what your league allows. Use File a Protest if you think a rule was broken or a score is wrong; the manager and any league officers review it.

See the Reporting an absence and Filing a protest sections of the full guide for details.
