Bowlify

Manage your league. Own the game.

League and tournament manager for Blood Bowl (Games Workshop, 3rd Season Edition) — the whole competitive loop in one app: teams, matches, standings, player progression, injuries and in-league news.

🌐 bowlify.co · Installable PWA · Android

Unofficial fan project. Blood Bowl and Warhammer are trademarks of Games Workshop. No rulebook content is redistributed — the app models the rules, it doesn't publish them.

What it does

Leagues

• Create or join a league, register teams under per-league constraints (allowed races, TV cap, SPP, star players, inducements)
• Record matches with full rosters — touchdowns, casualties, MVP, SPP awards
• Standings, rankings and season history
• League news with generated illustrated headlines

Tournaments

• Independent tournament mode with its own settings, join flow and brackets
• Public shareable tournament view (/t/[id]) — no account needed to follow along

Teams & players

• Roster builder over the 29 core Season 3 rosters, each with positional limits, cost and special rules
• Player progression: SPP → level ups, skill picks by category, permanent injuries, treasury
• Player sheets with full stat lines (MA / ST / AG / PA / AV)

Reference

• Built-in wiki for races and skills, searchable

Platform

• Dark-mode-first design system built from the Bowlify brand guide
• Phone, tablet and desktop from one codebase
• Friends, notifications, profile

Architecture notes

• The rules engine is the product. Rosters, skills, progression and injuries are modeled against the official 3rd Season rulebook, with a written audit of the discrepancies found in third-party online references (docs/BB2025_RULEBOOK_AUDIT.md).
• Theme is a function, not a constant. Screens build styles from useTheme() colors, so light/dark follows the system with no duplicated stylesheets.
• Responsive from the same tree — useResponsive() drives breakpoints; content is capped and centered on wide screens.
• Public routes are isolated — (public)/ is unauthenticated by design, for sharing tournaments outside the app.
