  1. Team Randomizer

    Both leagues I manage are "shinny" or pick-up ice times. Both are run a bit different. One league we draw cards in the room to make new teams each week. The other, I use a randomizer online (I apply skill levels to each player, and do 1 draw for D and 1 draw for F's), and then we do a "3 week series". Since there is the whole "Edit Lines" screen, is there a way to assign a ranking to a player, and have a button that can randomize teams based on skill levels? Would be an excellent feature to build in!!

  2. Simple Scrimmage Process for Shinny / Pickup with option to select and/or randomize players

    For Shinny and Pickup organizers, I expect many of us have all registered players listed in BenchApp as one “team” and communicate the teams / game plan to the players on game day. Can BenchApp please automate this process in the app so a “Scrimmage” option can be selected and the otganaizer can choose or randomize teams and all players are notified of the upcoming game? My current workaround is to communicate with the team on game day by broadcast message with the details that divide the players into two separate random teams identifying what team colour they are, either dark or white and who their goalie is. This is a time consuming process and it would be great if this process could be automated by the app. I think this “Scrimmage” feature would be beneficial to many teams and pickup organizers. Thanks!

  3. Allow multiple positions per player

    Allow players to have more than one position. For example, a goalie could also play forward.

  4. Allow player payment through no-fee software like Venmo, PayPal, or Zelle.

    When payment is accepted through the app the fees can add up fast. For our weekly pick up game of just 10 players we pay $14.70 in fees a week. When you add in the $9/month for pro that comes to $67.80 a month. There should be a way for players to pay using the numerous no-fee payment services out there like Venmo, PayPal, or Zelle.

    Don't allow players to check-in to any games/events (both spares and regulars) if they have outstanding fees. Make this a toggle setting that a manager can turn on or off.

  7. Multiple Spares Lists

    Have the option to make multiple spares lists so that you can send notifications out to different lists at different times. First list being the Regular/Preferred Spares list, 2nd being the infrequent spares list, 3rd being the anyone I know that can tie a pair of skates because we're desperate for players list! I have a lot of people on my spares list, some players are very infrequent but I still want their contact info on my roster. If I could create multiple spares lists it would allow me to set my regulars to get an email on day 1 (7 days out or so), regular spares get an email 3 days out, infrequent 2 days and panic spares list on the day of if the roster isn't full.

  8. Add a PAID designation to the IN, OUT, WAITLIST menu on the attendance list so I can mark skaters PAID after the game.

    Some players pay cash, while others do Venmo so it would be a big help with tracking who paid or did not pay. This is a big help to the drop in hockey organizer.
