A mystery pot keeps the winning condition secret until it is revealed, which is what makes it fun — and what makes it awkward to run credibly by hand.
The winning condition stays hidden until you reveal it. Because the selection is made by the program and tracked automatically, the reveal is verifiable rather than a matter of trusting whoever wrote it on a piece of paper before the session.
Entries are tracked automatically and the payout is calculated the moment the condition is revealed, from the pool that was actually collected. The base payout is the net pool — you are not paying out numbers the pot cannot cover.
A mystery pot adds a second thing to buy without adding a single game to the schedule, and it gives bowlers who are out of contention on total pins a reason to keep paying attention.
This runs inside the same session as your brackets and side pots. You are not exporting to a second tool or keeping a separate sheet — entries, scores, counts and payouts all live in one place, and the printed reports come out of the same program.
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.
