BowlsLink Support

Bowlslink is the sports purpose-built membership database and competition management system. The system allows club administrators to manage club details, capture membership data, send email campaigns, receive online payments and manage competition entry, draws, results. Additionally, individuals will be able manage their own profile data, view previous competitions and results as well as enter events directly.

Individual Member Profiles

Members seeking to register for a Bowls NSW event you will need to do so through BowlsLink. Every member has a profile in BowlsLink and you will need to have an email address linked to login. If you have never logged into your profile, or can’t remember your password you can reset following the instructions in the Step-by-Step Tutorial below.

Please note that due to anti-spam regulations the system will only send password resets to email addresses in the system, if you do not receive a password reset please check your junk/spam folder, check with your club admin or update your details with Bowls NSW to ensure the correct email address is linked to your profile. Please note that Bowls NSW Limited does not share information with any third party and all information is stored within appropriate guidelines as per the Bowls NSW Limited Privacy Policy

Once you have your password you can login and register for a competition by clicking through from the Bowls NSW website or email or alternatively search Bowls NSW in the Competitions tab of your member profile.

Bowls NSW appreciate that this technology can be challenging for some members and thank all users for your perseverance. Any members who have issues are encouraged to contact Bowls NSW to resolve the issues and to pass on feedback to the software developers for continued improvement.

Club/Region Administrator Request Form

If you need to add or change who your Club/Region administrators are, please click on Request Form button below. There are three core levels of access available, however more specific access can be allocated on request.

Club or Region Administrator is the top level of access and allows users full functionality within the system including memberships, certifications, transfers, club details, competitions, email campaigns and finances. Admins will also have access to all the functionality listed below.

Competition Administrators should be the authorised person who administers competitions, championships or tournaments including entries; draws and results. This access level is only for competitions where your club is the organising body, so does not include pennant competitions.

Pennant Administrator is for club members who need access to pennant team & result entry only. This access level will provide access to all teams linked to your club in a pennant competition.
