Side Pots & Side Action

Bowling side pot software that does the money math

Side action is where a session makes its margin and where the arithmetic goes wrong fastest. J&K Brackets Pro runs your side pots in the same session as your brackets and works the payouts from what was actually collected.

Pots that run beside the brackets

Side pots are not a separate event in the program. They sit in the same session as your brackets, share the same entry list, and appear in the same session totals — so the money in the drawer reconciles against one set of numbers rather than several.

Scratch and handicap kept apart

Scratch and handicap pots stay separate where they should be. Each carries its own entry fee and payout structure, and the program never quietly merges the two — a mixed pot is the fastest way to make whichever side loses feel cheated.

The payout is calculated, not estimated

Payouts are worked from the actual pool. Enter the entries and the fee, and the program shows what the pot holds and what each place pays before you commit to it. Nothing is promised to the room that the pool cannot cover.

The formats you can add

Beyond straight pots, the add-on formats cover the side action operators actually ask for — reverse brackets, mystery pot, eliminator and blind doubles — each with its own payout handling rather than a spreadsheet bolted on the side.

Try it before you buy it.

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.
