How It Works

Fast paths for game night.

This app should feel like a few taps, not a training manual. Set up the team, run the game, approve the stats, and move on.

Get Started Try Me About Phone
Setup Team, roster, and season live in one place.
During The Game Track live, use the lobby, and keep the bench organized.
After Approve, export, review box scores, and keep season history clean.
Quick Paths Open one section at a time instead of reading a wall of text.
Start Fast Rosters Live Stats After Game Advanced Roles Home Screen
Start Fast Create a team, add a season, and get to the floor without wandering the app.
1. Create the team Name it, set the basics, and give yourself a clean home base.
2. Add a season Seasons keep schedules, history, and stats separated the right way.
Best first click: open Teams, then work top to bottom instead of bouncing between pages.
Rosters And Players Add people once, then reuse them across games and seasons.
Manage Team Invite Members Player Profiles

Use roster management for the real work: add players, keep jersey numbers straight, and invite helpers only when needed.

Player profiles are where long-term value builds up. One player can carry a season story instead of becoming a new row every month.

Roles And Access Give people the access they need, not a mystery maze.
Owners / Admins Control teams, seasons, users, and the final published record.
Parents / Helpers Can participate without taking over the entire app.
Rule of thumb: keep permissions tight first. You can always open access later.
Live Stat Workflow Pregame, lobby, stat entry, approval, and publish all stay in one flow.
Pregame / Lobby Claim who is tracking, confirm the setup, and avoid mid-game confusion.
Enter Stats Track the game on the phone, then review the box score before it goes live.

Classic and dynamic flows both exist. Pick the one that matches the gym, not the one that sounds fanciest.

After The Game Clean up once, then let the history and reports do the rest.
Approve Export Reports Season History

Once the score and stats look right, approve the game and move on. The reports and player history should come from that clean source, not from rework later.

Add It To Your Home Screen Pin the app so it behaves like a real shortcut instead of a forgotten browser tab.
iPhone / iPad Open in Safari, tap Share, then choose Add to Home Screen.
Android / Chrome Open the Chrome menu, then choose Add to Home screen or Install app.
Desktop Chrome / Edge Use the install icon in the address bar or the browser menu, then pin the shortcut.
Desktop Safari Add the page to your Dock or drag the URL out as a shortcut if Safari does not show an install option.
Best result: once the shortcut is pinned, open the app from there instead of hunting for the right tab every time.

Try Me Sandbox Use the disposable path when you want to poke around without consequence.

Try Me is for guided exploration. Live accounts are for real teams and real history. Keep those mental models separate and the app makes more sense.
