League Scoring Guide

LEAGUE SCORING FLOW

From QBF score sheets to official results

1. Officer prepares results

   Upload QBF score sheets and check nicknames, lanes, scores and actual games played. Multiple invoices for one league event form one weekly result; points are awarded only once.

2. Check draft results

   The system calculates averages, ranks and points. Missing scores, duplicate players, teams without games and unresolved weekly ties prevent review. Testing, cancelled and excluded sessions do not count toward league results.

3. Send for team review

   New review versions use a 24-hour window. The Officer selects “Send checked results for 24-hour review”; the deadline starts when that action is saved, rather than when a WhatsApp message is read. Copy the review message and share it with the teams. Week 1 retains its existing saved 48-hour window. Always follow the deadline displayed for the current version.

4. Members check their entire team’s scores

   Open League → Team Score Verification, then select the event, member name and registered WhatsApp number. A member may act only for their own team in the event roster, including rostered members who did not play. The number is matched against existing records; this flow does not currently use OTP.

   Scores correct → Confirm

   One member represents the whole team. Confirmation immediately closes appeals for all members of that team for this version, even before the deadline. Read and accept the acknowledgement before confirming.

   Error found → Appeal

   Appeal before confirming and before the deadline. Identify the bowler, game, recorded score and correction. Attach a score-sheet photo: JPG, PNG or WebP, up to 6 MB. Only one open appeal is allowed per team. Confirmation waits until it is resolved.

5. Officer resolves appeals

   The Officer checks evidence and records the decision. Rejection keeps the same version and deadline. An accepted correction reopens draft results; the Officer checks and sends a new version for review. Corrections may affect other teams’ ranks and points, so all teams review the new version. Earlier confirmations remain in history and do not apply to the new version.

6. Officer publishes and locks

   Publication requires all teams to confirm, or their saved deadline to expire, and all appeals to be resolved. “No response” is recorded separately from “Confirmed”. Deadline expiry does not publish results automatically; the Officer must select “Publish”. Scores are locked during review and after publication. Further changes require “Begin a corrected version”, a reason and renewed review. Revised results are temporarily excluded from official standings until republished.

TEAM SCORING RULES

How BAIQ league results are calculated

M-BAIQ has four teams and L-BAIQ has two. Ranking and baseline calculations are separate for each division.

1. Scratch scores and actual games

Use original scores from 0 to 300 pins, with no handicap or bonus. Blank means unplayed; zero means a played game and counts in the divisor. Absence does not add games or zero scores. Attending players do not take over an absent player’s games.

Actual players / pins includes every scored player and all their pins. Baseline N / pins uses the top N players only to break a tie. Team average uses total actual pinfall divided by total actual games, rather than a simple average of player averages. Comparison uses the unrounded values; two decimal places are for display.

Example: one player plays only two games

Team average = 3,450 ÷ 23 = 150.00. The unplayed third game remains blank and does not count as zero.

2. Weekly ranking and points

Rank teams by weekly average, highest first. Points are awarded once per league event/week, even when several invoices contribute scores.

3. Team baseline — tie-break only

Baseline does not replace averages or points. N is the smallest number of active scored players among teams in the same division for the relevant period.

• Equal weekly averages: N is the smallest scored roster that week. Compare the weekly pinfall total of the top N players in each tied team.
• Equal season points: N is the smallest active scored roster across official weeks of that season. Accumulate each player’s season pinfall, then compare the top N player totals in each team. This is not the sum of weekly baselines.

For active rosters of 8, 8, 8 and 9, N = 8. The nine-player team uses its top eight totals only for the tie-break; all nine players’ games count toward the weekly average.
