Registration, team formation, the draw, ice allocation, scores, standings and bonspiels — one system, built for the volunteers who already do the work.
From the first sign-up in the fall to the last stone of the bonspiel — no exports, no re-typing, no second system to keep in step.
Curlers sign up as individuals or bring a full rink, and state a position preference. Full leagues open a waitlist instead of an email thread.
Build rinks from the registrant pool by dragging names into positions, with each curler's preference, experience and availability on the card — or run a live draft everyone follows on their phones.
Generate a round robin that balances byes and rotates sheets. Pin the games you have already promised, regenerate the rest, publish when it's right.
One calendar per facility, coloured by club. Guest clubs request the ice they need and wait for approval, so no two leagues land on the same sheet.
Skips report the final or score end by end, add last-stone-draw distances, and the opposing skip confirms. Standings update the moment it's official.
Members set the positions and nights they'll play. Short teams reach every eligible spare at once, and the first to accept is in — straight from the email.
Most ice houses host more than one club. Broomstack treats the facility as the shared resource it is: every league, clinic and bonspiel on one grid, colour-coded by club, with requests and approvals in the same view.
Score entry is a phone screen first: big steppers, no typing, and the last-stone-draw distances in the same pass. The opposing skip confirms and the result is official — nobody carries a paper scorecard to the bar.
Points, wins, losses, ties, ends for and against, and last-stone-draw averages for tiebreaks — readable on a phone in the warm room, and computed from the results rather than kept by hand, so correcting a three-week-old score just reorders the table.
Every club runs on a handful of people who already have jobs. Each role sees only the screens that belong to it.
Position preferences, the waitlist and the team roster in one view — then a generated schedule you can adjust before anyone sees it.
Allocate ice across leagues, clinics and bonspiels, and approve or decline another club's request without a phone call.
The date, sheet, lineup and stone colour on one card — plus spare requests to accept and a score to report before leaving the ice.
Broomstack is running real seasons now, and we are adding a small number of clubs at a time so it grows around what clubs actually do rather than what we guessed. That means you get a say in what gets built, and it means you talk to a person rather than a signup form.
A twenty-minute walkthrough with your club's season on the screen. Tell us where you curl and we'll find a time around your draw nights.
