Getting Started — New Player Guide

Welcome to the new BCBC website. Everything about the league lives here — the schedule, standings, stats, rules, and the electronic scoring app you'll use on match night. Here's how to get set up in about five minutes.

The League Website www.bcbcpoolleague.info Schedule, standings, stats, scoring — everything is here

Have the old bcbc.coggoid.com saved on your phone? It still works — it sends you straight here.

1Open the site on your phone

Type www.bcbcpoolleague.info into your phone's browser — Safari on an iPhone, Chrome on Android. There's nothing to download from the App Store or Play Store. Now add it to your home screen so it opens like a regular app:

  • iPhone (Safari): tap the Share button (square with an up arrow), scroll down, tap Add to Home Screen, then tap Add.
  • Android (Chrome): tap the three-dot menu in the top right, tap Add to Home screen (or Install app), then tap Add.
On an iPhone it has to be Safari — an icon added from Chrome or any other browser can't do notifications. Once the icon is on your home screen, open BCBC from the icon and do everything below from there. The home screen app keeps its own login, so signing in from the icon is what makes Face ID and notifications stick to it.

2Log in for the first time

Tap Login in the menu. Your username is your full name in lowercase with all spaces and punctuation removed. Everyone's starting password is the same.

Your Name Your Username Password
John Smith johnsmith bcbc
Mary Jo O'Brien maryjoobrien bcbc
Bob Smith Jr. bobsmithjr bcbc
You'll be asked to pick a new password right away. That's normal — it only happens on your first login. Choose something you'll remember (at least 4 characters).

Right after that, you'll be asked for your email address. Please put one in — it's how you get back in if you forget your password, and without one an admin has to reset it by hand. It's used for resets and league notices, nothing else.

Typing it in is all you have to do. We'll email a link to confirm the address, but you don't have to go find it right then — tap Save & Continue and keep going. A reminder stays at the top of the site until you confirm, with a Resend Link button if the email never turned up.

3Set up Face ID (optional, but easy)

So you never have to type your password again:

  1. Tap the menu (☰), then tap the circle with your initials. On a computer, tap your name in the top-right corner.
  2. Go to Account Settings.
  3. Scroll to Face ID / Passkey and tap Add Face ID / Passkey.
  4. Follow the prompt on your phone. Next time, just tap Sign in with Face ID / Passkey.
Face ID is tied to the web address you set it up on. If you had it working before the site moved, set it up once more here on www.bcbcpoolleague.info — it takes about ten seconds. Your username and password work either way, so you are never locked out.

4Turn on match night notifications (optional)

Your phone can buzz you on match night with who you're playing and which bar — plus a reminder if your team's scores haven't been turned in, and a note when the week's results are posted.

  1. Open BCBC from the home screen icon (step 1), not from a browser tab. On an iPhone this is required; on Android it's the reliable way.
  2. Tap the circle with your initials, then Account Settings.
  3. Scroll to Match Night Notifications and tap Turn on notifications.
  4. Tap Allow when your phone asks.
  5. Tap Send a test notification to check it worked.
Notifications are set up per phone — if you use more than one device, turn them on for each. To stop them, go back to the same place and tap Turn off. Either way the same messages pile up in the app: tap the 🔔 bell at the top of your profile menu to read them.

5Find your way around

These tabs are open to everyone — no login needed:

Tab What's There
Schedule Every week's matchups and locations. Pick your team to see just your schedule, and print a copy for the fridge.
Standings Team standings, updated as scores are approved. Also has the Top Gun list.
Stats Player records, handicaps, break & runs, 8-on-the-break, weekly results.
Teams Every team, their roster, and their home bar.
League Rules, financial statements, past playoff brackets, and the scoring guide.

6What you get once you're logged in

Tap the circle with your initials (or your name on a computer) to reach:

  • My Player Card — your record, handicap, and performance percentage.
  • Score Match — the electronic scoring app for match night.
  • Scoreboard — every match in the league as it's being played. It's called Live Scoreboard on match night.
  • HDCP Simulator — try a match result and see what it would do to your handicap.
  • Account Settings — change your password, set up Face ID, and turn notifications on or off.

7Match night — electronic scoring (optional)

Electronic scoring is not mandatory. If your team would rather keep using paper score sheets, keep using paper score sheets — nothing changes for you, and nobody is going to be penalized for it. The app is there for teams who want it. You can also mix it up: use the app one week, paper the next, or have one team score on a phone while the other uses paper. It all works.

If you do want to try it: one person from each team scores the match on their phone. Both teams score their own sheet, and the app checks them against each other as you go — if the two sheets don't agree, it tells you before anything is submitted.

  1. Log in and tap Score Match from your profile menu.
  2. Pick the players for each of the 5 matches and tap the winner of each game.
  3. Record break & runs and 8-on-the-break as they happen.
  4. When all 5 are done, review the summary, add a note to the league if you need to, and tap Submit.
Scoring opens Wednesday at 5:00 PM and closes Thursday at 4:00 PM. Results go to the league operator for approval, then show up in the standings and stats. Scores turned in on paper get entered the same way and land in the same place — the standings and stats don't care how the match was scored.

8If something goes wrong

  • Forgot your password? Tap Forgot your password? on the login page and enter your email. No email on file? Ask the league operator to reset it for you.
  • Can't log in? Double-check your username has no spaces, periods, or apostrophes — just letters.
  • Page looks wrong or out of date? Close the browser tab and reopen it, or pull down to refresh.
  • Phone screen keeps going dark while scoring? Turn up your auto-lock time in your phone settings before the match starts.
  • No notifications on an iPhone? The icon has to have been added from Safari, and you have to open BCBC from that icon — not a browser tab — before turning them on in Account Settings.
