J&K Brackets Pro is Windows software for running bowling brackets: building them, seating them, scoring them, and paying them out — without the arithmetic living on a clipboard or in somebody's head.
You take bracket entries the way you always have. The program works out how many brackets those entries actually support, caps anyone who bought more than can be built, and tells you the refunds by name before a single score goes in. Empty seats become byes, and byes are spread across brackets rather than stacked into one.
Scratch and handicap groups run side by side in one session rather than as two separate events you reconcile afterwards. Each group keeps its own entry fee, its own bracket count and its own payout structure, and the session totals add up across all of them.
Bowlers who want to be in every bracket are one of the easiest ways to lose track of a count. The program treats an ALL entry as what it is — a seat in every bracket in that group — and folds it into the counts, the payouts and the entry totals without a separate tally.
Scores go in game by game and every affected bracket recalculates as you type. Payouts are worked from the actual money collected, not an estimate, so what the sheet says is what the drawer owes.
Reports print clean black-on-white, so they are readable at the counter and photocopy properly.
The free demo is the complete program, not a limited trial — every feature unlocked, capped at 16 bowlers per session so you can see exactly how it works.
