Feature Ideas
Submit IdeaAllow 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.

Prioritize Waitlist based off Player Type
As a team manager I would like to be able to set a priority level on my players so that the auto-wait list feature will accepted players based off the team priority in addition to the time they were put on the wait list. For example, being able to set full time roster players as P1 and part-time as P2, and using this to invite full time players first regardless of the order they joined the wait list

Allow managers to set lines without showing players
Currently if I update lines to try to figure out who I want to play a game, all the players can see this. I want to be able to plan lines before making them viable to the team. Even before publishing lines, everyone can see the work in progress

Player Confirmation for New Season
I run a summer hockey league and, at the start of each season, I need to collect confirmation from each player indicating whether they intend to participate in the upcoming season. Participation is capped at 20 players per season, so it is important to confirm availability early and efficiently in order to fill the league to capacity. A confirmation feature that allows league administrators to request and track player confirmations, ideally with a cap once 20 players have committed, would significantly streamline this process and reduce manual follow-up.

Create Event on several days
Critical feature for us would be to have the possibility to encode event on several days: e.g. tournament, european championship, world championships,… These could/shall be on several days. We will definitely need that. So instead of duration in hours/minutes, it would be better to put a start date/time, and end date/time, or add the possibility to set up a duration in days for “full day” event. This feature has to be reflected correctly in the subscribed calendar of course…

Option to dismiss "Training and Recovery"
At the bottom of the app's home page is section "Apps" with entry "Training & Recovery". I'd like the option to dismiss this. I'm aware of the need to advertise your other apps, especially to freeloaders. But my team pays for their Benchapp account, so I think have earned the right to at least clear the ad after seeing it once.

Allow pre-pay for drinks
Guys like to pre-pay for their drinks. In previous versions I could track this in the Drinks tab.

Practice attendance percentage
With a large team, not everybody can play every game. The practice attendance percentage can help to create lines for the next game. In order to keep it fair for everybody.

App not keeping attendance weekly for players
This is a feature already on the pro app and hasn’t worked all season so far. I have to keep track manually when I pay $10.00 a month for this feature.
