  2. Allow managers to see log history of players check ins, outs, waitlist. Not just the last action time stamp.

    As a pickup manager I would like to see when a player gets added to a roster or waitlist and any changes to that players log history. For example if they waitlist and then get added to the roster and pull them selves off for whatever reason, I would like to see the time stamps when they added themselves to the waitlist and when I added them to the roster. Currently I only see the last action, in this example the Check Out. Having access to the time history of a player can be useful is some scenarios.

  3. Include more stats (OBP, SLG and OPS stats) for Baseball/Softball

    I still find that using an Excel sheet is my preferred method over what's available when navigating to the roster, as players are eager for more detailed and insightful statistics. Sharing stats keeps the players engaged and gives them something to look forward to after each game, especially if they lost the game. It helps deepen their understanding of the game and also offers them a chance to reflect on their performance.

  5. 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.

  10. Restrict check-in to playoff game type by number of games played

    Our league, like many others, has a minimum game requirement for playoff games. It would be nice to set this as a check-in restriction for Skaters and Goalies. This way only roster players and spares who meet the criteria can check in.

  11. Career Statistics

    Hi there! Iโ€™m wondering if you would ever consider adding a category for career statistics for teams rosters that typically stay together and the same throughout seasons. I think a ton of teams and players would find it super cool and handy!

  13. Allow Half-Time Player status without sharing/linking with another player

    Is there a way to change the Half-Time structure? The current structure of selecting 2 specific players to share 1 spot is not that functional for me over these years I do not always have 2 players dedicated for 1 position Sometimes both Half-Time players will play, but having one Half-Time sign "IN" will force the other Half-Time to only select "WAITLIST" even though the game roster has open spots available Of course the game roster must have open spots dedicated for Full-Time players and Half-Time players must be restricted and not allowed to register "IN" and take a Full Time player spot My suggested solution: Leave the current Half-Time structure as-is, asking who to "share" with another for Managers who like and follow a strict linked player pairing Add the option to allow Managers to set a player as Half-Time, but NOT forced to link with another Half-Time player Add the option to allow Managers to set the max # limit of Full-Time players and max # limit of Half-Time players for game rosters for the season This will let non-linked Half-Time players to sign "IN" until Half-Time roster spots reach max limit, while still leaving dedicated Full-Time roster spots open to all Full-Time players If a lot of Full-Time players cannot play and Half-Time players are available to play, yet exceed the max # limit setting for Half-Time game roster spots, then allow the Manager ability to override this pre-set limit since all Full-Time players has been accounted for (in this example, they cannot play), then the Manager can fill in with available Half-Time players Of course the existing overall max # limit of players for a game roster still holds top priority and is the master limit This flexibility is something I have always wanted in Benchapp and none more so than this past season as I have 10 Half Time players on my higher div team and 11 Half-Time players on lower div team. Actually, it is with my lower div team where I was not able to find another Half-Time player to share with one of my Half-Time players, which is why I would like to see the option to not force a link between 2 Half-Time players to designate each player as Half-Time status. I hope the above makes sense and I was able to present my thought process across. Thanks!

  14. Support line breaks in chatter

    Chatter doesn't appear to support line breaks. Paragraph formatting is lost and sentences run together.

  15. Drinks: Ability to assign to scheduled events

    Instead of just picking who's next, allow captains to set the schedule in advance. This means I only do an action once per season instead of once a week, and mobody is confused when they check the app after bringing drinks and it still says they're "next" because I didn't change it yet.
