Team App - GameChanger Team Manager

FCKLL’s website integrates with Gamechanger Team Manager, the industry leading baseball scoring, and team management app. This will allow coaches and parents the convenience of dynamic game scoring — and virtual scorekeeping for when you can't make the game — integrated practice and game schedules, team communication, and photo sharing. Learn more about the features here.

Parents & Guardians, simply register, find your player’s team and request to follow. Your coach will administrate the account.

Coaches, to import your team, please make sure to login to your Gamechanger account with the same email as your FCKLL registration and find your team. It’s that easy. Learn more about how to integrate the app with your FCKLL account here. If the app is not importing your team, please submit a ticket directly with GameChanger, noting your league, team name, and your email address and they will fix the issue.

If your team is imported, but your schedule is not accurately listed, please click the setting icon (gear icon) in the upper right > schedule sync > reimport schedule. This will take roughly 5 minutes, but should fix any schedule disparities.

Available for iOS and Android.

Scoring in GCTM

Majors and AAA teams will be required to score games in Game Changer Team Manager. This will allow FCKLL to have stats on players’ Spring 2021 season performance, help track pitch counts (which still need to be reported into the scoring system).

Scorekeepers unfamiliar with GCTM should download the app and upload your players and schedule.
Scorekeepers can use the Practice Scoring feature to learn the system (Settings>Practice Scoring a Game)
Add the opponent batting order at beginning of each game
Track both pitcher and catcher (pitch count and innings are important)
Score hits/errors with appropriate discretion. Close judgment-based plays will most likely err on the side of hits, but clear errors should be scored as errors. The bat hitting the ball does NOT necessarily construe a hit. Similarly, a past ball is the fault of the catcher, a wild pitch is the fault of the pitcher.

If rosters, or schedules are not current: simply click the gear icon in the upper right, click sync schedule, and reimport your schedule. This will pull all the latest from fckll.org and it should be reflected within 5 minutes or so.

To edit scoring mistakes: GCTM has two ways to edit scoring, which the old Game Changer did not.

a) to edit a play: https://teammanager.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/360031203911-Editing-Past-Plays

b) to edit a final box score: https://teammanager.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/360030872932-Editing-Box-Scores
