How can we help?

Create your organization with your name, organization and email. Open the link we email you to confirm the address and choose your password. The link works once and expires after 24 hours.

Go to the sign-in page and use the email and password you chose when you created your organization or accepted your invitation.

Choose "Forgot password?" on the sign-in page. We email a link that works once and expires after an hour. If the option isn't there, email isn't switched on for this site; contact us.

Invitation links work once and expire after 24 hours. Ask an owner to send a new one from the Team screen.

Sessions end after 12 hours, and changing your password signs out your other devices.

Open your tournament's Registration screen and fill in Online registration settings: the open and close dates, events offered, an optional cap, your fee note and waiver. Turn it on and share the registration link. New entries appear under Online entries for you to accept or reject.

.xlsx, .xlsm and .csv files up to 5 MB. Older .xls files and password-protected workbooks need to be saved as .xlsx first. Download the example CSV from the Registration screen to see the columns Bowin looks for.

The preview lists each row and what's missing: usually gender, age, belt, a dan for black belts, or which events the competitor entered. Fix them in your spreadsheet and preview again.

Yes. Open "Edit rules" on the Divisions screen to change age bands, belt groups, weight splits and division sizes. You can always go back to the standard rules.

Import, rule changes and new divisions stop once the first score is recorded. After that, use the late-change tools: withdraw, reinstate, move, late entry, merge or close as uncontested.

Every active entrant in the division must be checked in first. Withdraw anyone who isn't coming, then generate.

In Scoring, choose "Review score correction" for the recorded bout or patterns score. Enter the replacement score or choose to reopen it, give a reason, and preview the impact before confirming. Ask an organizer to review changes that affect later results, linked finals or a completed event.

A source result changed, so the previous final result is under review. An organizer opens "Review qualification" in Scoring, checks the current qualifiers and any tied choice or explicit reinstatement, then previews and confirms the resolution. Each affected linked final needs its own review.

Use "Refresh tournament" to check whether it was saved before trying again. Reconnecting or refreshing does not submit the correction again. If it was not saved, review the current result and confirm a fresh preview.

Open the Rings board to see how far behind each ring is. Organizers can move a division, or the rest of that ring's queue, to another ring in one step; Bowin refuses a move that would clash.

Use "Print sheet" on a division in Scoring. On the sheet page, choose "Refresh and print" to check current results before opening the print dialog. Bracket sheets use legal-size landscape paper; running orders use letter-size portrait paper. Replace printed sheets after results change.

Choose "Publish results" on the Results screen and share the link. Choose "Withdraw public results" to take the page down.
