Bowlsnet records all lost

Bowling News

The Bowlsnet developer, Steve Blaymire, is today reporting that all this season's records have been deleted and are not available in any of the 250 leagues that use the system. This is a cutting from the front page of every League using the system.

The records for all the seasons prior to 2025 are all still on the system and available to access via the LIVE button in the top right of the home page of each League. However all this season's records have disappeared from the system. This will be a disastrous situation for all 250 leagues that depend on the system for the reporting and collection of League and KO competitions.

It seems that all matches played since 13 January 2025 have been lost which of course covers all the summer leagues. It also deleted all the Winter League matches and Winter Cup results and Pairs KO records from 13 January 2025. I am pleased to inform you that all the Huddersfield Winter League records are now intact and complete. I have uploaded the end-of-season backup I took in April and the Winter League records are now showing as complete on the system. All the results, tables and player records have all been uploaded and are complete.

The developer continues to try and recover the lost records and no doubt will report such progress on the home page of each league competition. The best approach at present seems to be to allow the developer time to try and recover the system. Should that not be forthcoming then each League will have to make arrangements to recover the data by whatever means are available including the option for teams to reinput all their records for the current season. More to follow on this no doubt.
