How each New Zealand listing is put together
Bowlinghall New Zealand is an independent directory with no ties to any operator. Every number on a listing was read from a named source, and the page says on which day.
The venue's own page is read first
In the big cities many alleys belong to chains such as Zone Bowling and Archie Brothers; elsewhere most are family-run. For each listing we start from that operator's page for the branch itself, not the national chain page, because opening times and lane counts differ from site to site.
Those pages were read as plain text inside an isolated sandbox and saved, so the wording behind a figure can be checked later. When a club or community centre publishes a timetable on a council page or a sports-club site instead, that source is named on the listing.
When the only timetable is the Google listing
Some alleys publish no hours of their own. In that case the listing shows the general opening hours from the business's Google profile, with the date it was last updated, and a note that lanes may stop earlier or be fully booked. Those hours are never presented as a lane timetable.
Where a source says nothing about a rate, the listing says 'Not published' instead of borrowing a figure from another branch.
Photos, screenshots and ratings
Most listings carry a photograph released by the venue or its operator. A few use a screenshot of the venue's website, labelled as such, because no usable photo was found.
Star ratings are Google's public score for that business on the date shown, beside the number of reviews. Review text is not copied, and scores built on fewer than five reviews are left out.
How listings stay current
Bowling centres change their specials every school holiday, and some close without much notice. Each listing is re-read against its named sources whenever the site is rebuilt, and the date at the top of the page shows when that last happened. When a source stops answering, the listing says so rather than repeating old numbers.
