Feature Ideas
Submit IdeaSupport multi-day events
Please add support for multi-day events. This would be perfect for training camps, tournaments, and team weekends. Instead of creating multiple events, it should be possible to create one event with a start date and an end date, while keeping a single RSVP.

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.

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

Please allow the number 0 or 00 as a Jersey Numbers
Some people have jersey number 0 or 00, but the app won’t accept that as a number. So it appears that they have no jersey number at all.

Chatter channel and announcement channel
I have the issue with a lot of people turning off notifications because they don't want everyone else's comments. Is there a way to work it like Slack/Discord where you have a channel only admins/captains/assistants/managers can post on that forces notifications and then a "squirrel channel" where people can just talk and do whatever with that you can subscribe to or not. I know bulletins are similar, but they can still get lost in the mess of other people responding. Basically I want people to be able to see every official message I've ever posted, but not have to deal with everyone's chatter. Here are my thoughts on potential functionalities: Admin channel functionalities: -Only labeled managers & assistants can post, but everyone can heart/thumbs up/react -Forces notifications -Automatically added when you join the team Squirrel channel functionalities: -Anyone can post -You can "unsubscribe"/turn off notifications for this chat -Automatically added when you join the team

Archive
is there a way to bring back archived chatter? Just curious as archive to me seems like something that can be restored and not just deleted.

Allow jersey number to be “0” or “00”
One of my teammates has a jersey number “00” and we can’t put his jersey number in the app.

Automatically send an email when editing or creating a new event.
Currently, the app only sends a push notification when an event is edited or created. Having it additionally auto-send an email would be helpful to my parents as well.

First day of week: Monday
Allow a setting to change the first day of the week for a team to Monday. In Europe it's common to have the calendar represented Monday>Sunday. This would save a fair amount of confusion for us.

App notifications for parents of players
We use this app for a youth team. The kids are on the roster and the parents are added as spectators. When our manager adds a game or practice to the schedule we don’t get a notification and when I try to send a “nudge” it says that the player doesn’t have a device connected. It would be nice to have the notification sent to the parents of the player because sometimes these reminders get buried in emails.

RSVP Window
Create an RSVP window for upcoming games instead of keeping the entire schedule open indefinitely. We already have a couple guys confirming attendance for the entire season. We need better control as managers.

Bench App not working with Google Chromium Based browsers.
I'm running the latest version of google chrome. Bench app does not load on multiple machines. The page loads, but the elements just flash white and black. It does work with firefox.
