Take in scores
One inbox for scores sent from the app, photographed paper cards, and results the officer enters for members who don’t use it.
NEXT-END FOR CLUBS · IN DEVELOPMENT
A calmer way to run club records.
Members record a shoot once and choose whether to send it to their club. The records officer reviews the scorecard and its evidence in one place, and accepted results stay with the club when volunteers change.
Not live yet. No club accounts are open, and no club or governing body has been asked to endorse Next-End. The preview uses invented sample data.

Most club records are kept by one volunteer. We’re building for the person who has to check every card.
THE JOB WE’RE DESIGNING AROUND
What a records officer actually does.
Check them
Round, bow, date, totals and witness evidence together on one screen. Ask a member to fix something and see when they’ve answered.
Keep the season
Accepted scores build the club’s ledger. A later correction arrives as a new submission, so a record you accepted is never quietly changed.
Run awards
Follow the 252 and other club schemes from first attempt, to witnessed claim, to the physical badge handed over.
Report
Exports for county returns, presentation lists and claim packs, starting with the format your county actually asks for.
Hand over
Records belong to the club, with roles and a full history, so a new officer inherits an archive rather than a departing volunteer’s files.
Responsibilities differ from club to club, and county practice differs again. We’re learning the detail from officers rather than assuming it.
FROM THE LINE TO THE RECORD
One score, four steps, nothing typed twice.
-
01
Record
The archer scores in the app, on or off the range. It saves on the phone first.
-
02
Submit
They choose whether to send it to their club. Sharing on the feed is a separate choice, and saving never depends on either.
-
03
Review
The officer sees the scorecard as submitted, with its checks and evidence. They accept it, ask for something, or decline with a reason.
-
04
Keep
Accepted results join the club’s records. The archer’s private original stays theirs.
Accepted means accepted into your club’s records. County and national recognition are separate processes, and Next-End doesn’t send anything to anyone on a club’s behalf.
TRUST
Only real clubs. Members stay in control.
Only real, checked clubs
A club can switch on club features only after two separate checks: that it is currently registered or affiliated with a recognised archery organisation, and that the person setting it up is authorised to act for it. A real club name isn’t enough.
- Requests to add a club stay private and inactive until they’re reviewed.
- We confirm authority with a secretary, chair or other official through a contact we’ve established independently, not only the address on the application.
- We never ask for a membership-system password or a full member list.
- Verification is free, and payment can’t skip it.
- A club’s label says what we checked and when. It doesn’t mean Archery GB or any other body has approved Next-End.
Members stay in control
A club sees what a member chooses to submit, and nothing more.
- Club staff see the submitted scorecard and evidence, not a member’s private history.
- Belonging to a club doesn’t give anyone access to another archer’s private scorecards.
- Leaving a club, or a club lapsing, never deletes a member’s own scores.
- Members can use Next-End without belonging to a club at all.
WHAT’S FREE
Our intention, and what we’ll test with clubs.
For archers
- Record, plot and keep a full history.
- Submit a score to a club.
- Check the status of a claim.
Archers won’t need a subscription for any of these.
A free club presence
- A verified club profile and approved membership.
- An inbox to review individual scores and claims.
- Manual award decisions, and a decision history that stays with the club.
Proposed. We’ll confirm it with pilot clubs.
Heavier officer tools
- Reviewing scores in bulk and richer season reports.
- Bulk exports and advanced award administration.
- Badge stock and delegated staff roles.
Whether these are worth paying for is what pilot clubs will tell us. There are no prices yet, and we won’t set any before then.
ALONGSIDE WHAT YOU USE
Built to sit beside your current records.
Try it before you switch
Run it next to your spreadsheet or records software first. We’re designing for CSV import and export so nothing is locked in, and imported history keeps its source rather than gaining invented scorecards.
Handicaps and classifications
Single-score handicaps and classification levels will come from versioned tables built on the open-source archeryutils library by Jack Atkinson and contributors (MIT licence). We check each round and category against the published Archery GB tables before switching it on. Figures help the officer decide; event status, witnessing and arrow volume still need a person. Not live yet.
Tell us how your club does it today.
If you look after your club’s records, or you’re its secretary, we’d like to hear how it works now: what you check, what you chase, what you dread at year end. No commitment, and nothing to install.
