We’ve been hard at work this fall. Here’s a quick look at what’s new for coaches, scorekeepers, parents, and players.
Sync your team calendar with your personal calendar.
You’ve asked for it and now we’ve built it– an easy way to integrate your GC schedule with your personal calendar! Coaches and fans alike can now sync anything they want from the GC schedule (practices, games or both) with their personal calendars. Finally everything can truly be in one place! Never miss a scheduling update or confuse calendars again.
How to set up your calendar integration.
Access Pitch Smart Guidelines from the app.
In an effort to help coaches, parents, and players protect young athletes, we’ve made PitchSmart Guidelines more accessible.
Coaches and scorekeepers can now review the guidelines while setting up Pitch Count Alerts or while reviewing pitching stats after the game. By making this valuable information easy to access, we hope coaches, parents and fans will be more informed and thus more equipped to prevent overuse.
How to set Pitch Count Alerts and view Pitch Smart Guidelines.
Win Probability Graph
Visualize your biggest comebacks, pinpoint turning points in the game, and show your team how each play contributed to the win. With the Win Probably Graph, which you find on your team’s game pages, you can tell the batter that drew a walk with a runner on first, he or she added 5% to the team’s chances of winning.
As always, we welcome any and all feedback.
Stay tuned. A lot more to come!
Is this chart based off of Baseball or Softball? I do not know about Baseball, but my daughter pitches softball and according to this chart she pitches to much. I will go with the Max pitches a day(on the light side), but the required rest chart is way off.
HI JWS – Sorry for the confusion. The Pitch Smart guidelines, which is what that chart comes from, is for baseball only. I’m not aware of similar guidelines that exist for softball.
The underhand throwing motion doesn’t place the same burden on the shoulder/elbow that the overhand motion does. So if softball pitching guidelines do exist, there’s probably a higher limit.
Please allow a feature to import schedules from a spreadsheet. Entering schedules ahead of time takes a lot of time.
Hi Todd, Thanks for the suggestion. This is on our list of future improvements to scheduling. We hope to add it at some point down the road.
Thanks again
– The GameChanger Team
WIN PROBABILITY GRAPH… Is this still a feature?
Hi Ann,
Unfortunately, we removed this feature because it wasn’t getting much usage. I’ll pass along your interest in this feature to our team. If yo have any additional suggestions or feedback, please feel free to email us at help@gc.com. Thanks for writing in.
We have been involved in 4 international tie breaker games this season in softball. Is there a method for placing a runner on second base as required by the tie breaker rules?
Hi Mike, what you want to do is first figure out who was the last batter up the previous inning. This can be done by tapping on your team on the bottom bar. Then tap on second base and you will be asked to place a runner on base–place that last batter on 2nd and you will be ready to score. Check out this article for more info- https://gamechanger.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/115002784586
Hi Mike – Thanks for writing in. You bet you can score the International Tie Break on GameChanger.
Tap on 2nd base and place the runner at second.
Tap on 1st base and then place the other runner at first.
The game will now be formatted for the international tie breaker rule, and you can begin scoring.
