  1. Cut off time for attendance

    It would be great to have a final in or out cut off time. We play sundays at 4pm, it would be great to have a cut off time for noon - so I can tell all players and spares to check the app at 1pm for final numbers. There's too many changes happening with in 2 hours of the ice time - It'd be nice to let the roster know about the cutt off time so we get real numbers a few hours before the game.

  2. Drinks

    can you reinstate the ability to reports drinks paid for. The update allows you to record what someone drinks but now I can’t record when it has been paid

  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.

  9. Add Centre as a position for hockey teams

    I's great to have the flexibility to label players as Forwards or Any, but also helpful to know who prefers Centre specifically.

  11. Season start is a mess

    Complaint: Season start is a mess. BA publishes instantly so my guys get multiple messages; you're added, schedule update and (the WORST) is Finances. Ideas: This needs a solution. Here are some ideas: 1 Maybe you could have a Draft / Prelim mode and a Publish mode. I could create a new (Draft) Season with Roster, Schedule and Finance, then review it, then hit Publish and my guys get one notification. 2 At a minimum, you could have a template upload for Finance (as you do for Schedule). In my case, we collect deposits upfront, then I create the season in BA. Each guy pays differently (cash, etransfer, etc.) and some pay the minimum while some pay in full. BA forces me to enter each one manually. And it immediately updates the player (one for deposit and one for balance). Its crazy. Some of these guys jump the gun and say "I already paid" and then 1 minute later they get the second transaction. Unnecessary noise. To set-up BA ... I modify my payment spreadsheet (aka a template) and then refer to it to manually enter the Deposit and Balance transactions and update the status (paid / not paid). Two transactions, thirty guys, four teams, four times a year. That's over a thousand separate data entry events. Aggravating. Maybe there are other options? Life is too short for manual data entry. But with BA Finances its a problem. We like lots of things about BA. It really helps. But season start-up is hard. I've already written about the lack of a registration process (BA waits until I have a roster and schedule). We need an effective season start-up process in BA for rosters, schedules and finances.

  12. Show/Require League in Finder

    It would be nice to show and/or require which league/leagues that the players are in as many leagues require spares to be registered members of their league, and without that information searching for spares is almost impossible.

  13. Custom Positions for Misc. Teams

    I am the coach of an equestrian team that is looking to find a Management system for my team. Although I have found work arounds for a couple things, unlike most teams, our riders get assigned individual class assignments rather positions. For instance, I have some riders that ride in Class 8 - Beginner WT while others ride in Class 3 - Varsity Intermediate Over Fences and Class 4 - Varsity Intermediate Flat. Because I am not one of the established sports, I am classified as "Other" but I am then unable to assign a position/assignment to my riders. I'd like to propose that for "Other' teams, we be able to assign customizable positions for our riders rather than being unable to at all.

  15. Quick Score won't let you add score to the home team

    When the quick score slides up from the bottom on the android platform, the home team is so far at the bottom of the screen that you cannot click the plus it minus button to increase/ decrease the score. Please allow the options to rise above the controls.
