Open the Scoreboard on the Projector
Connect a laptop to your projector or wall-mounted TV. Open Cosmic Bowling — a unique room code and QR appear in the bottom-right corner. Use the toolbar to set your alley name, edit the I Can statement, and add or remove lanes to match your class size.
💡 Maximize the browser to fill the screen
Import Your Class Roster (Optional)
Click 📄 Blank Template to download a CSV file pre-formatted with lane numbers. Open it in Excel or Google Sheets, type student names next to their assigned lane, save as CSV, then click 📥 Import CSV to load the whole class at once.
💡 Lanes without student names auto-fill as “Bowler”
Distribute Devices to Each Lane
Hand a Chromebook, iPad, or phone to each lane. Students scan the QR code on the projector — the lane controller opens instantly. They tap their lane number from the chip bar at the top, then tap their name to switch between bowlers in that lane.
💡 One device can control all lanes if needed
Bowl & Score in Real Time
After each roll, the active bowler taps the pin count — strike (full-width pink button), spare (auto-detected), or numbered pins. The scoreboard on the wall updates within a second. Tap Next → to pass the turn to the next bowler in the lane.
💡 Undo button fixes any miscount
Check the Leaderboard & Export
The 🏆 Top Scores bar shows the highest scores across the whole class — toggle it on or off as a motivator or to keep focus on form. When the unit is done, click 📤 Export Scores to download a complete CSV scoresheet for assessment records.
💡 Reset All Scores starts fresh without losing the roster
Roster & Score Files
Three buttons in the toolbar handle all class data — pre-load students, save scores, share with parents
Blank Template
Downloads a pre-formatted CSV with lane numbers 1–12 and 4 blank rows per lane. Add student names next to their lane and save.
Import CSV
Loads your filled-in roster file. Lanes are created automatically based on the lane numbers in the CSV — empty rows become “Bowler”.
Export Scores
Saves a complete CSV with every player’s name, lane, frame-by-frame cumulative scores, and final score. Date and alley name auto-included in filename.
Bowling Scoring
Standard 10-frame bowling — strikes, spares, and bonus rolls all calculated automatically
💡 Teacher Tips
- 📋 Pre-import your class roster the night before — students walk in and start bowling immediately
- 👥 Add 4–6 students per lane and have them rotate naturally — the active bowler is always highlighted on the projector
- 🔇 Toggle the leaderboard OFF if competition becomes a distraction, then back ON to celebrate top scorers at the end
- 🎯 Use the I Can statement to anchor each lesson — turn-taking, encouragement, accurate scoring, or proper form
- 🔋 Keep the projector laptop plugged in — the live sync runs continuously and uses some battery
- 📡 Make sure all devices are on the same WiFi — school networks work fine, no special setup needed
- 📊 Export scores as a benchmark at the start of the unit, then again at the end to show student growth
