What's a "Beta"?
"Beta is a nickname for software which has passed the alpha testing stage of development and has been released to users for software testing before its official release. Beta testing allows the software to undergo usability testing with users who provide feedback, so that any malfunctions these users find in the software can be reported to the developers and fixed."
For the current beta release, each League name entered becomes unique.
When establishing a League name, Administrators are encouraged to provide as much detail as possible, e.g. "Savino County Little League Majors Division".

Why do we require Postal Codes for GameChanger teams?
GameChanger users can find teams to follow simply by searching by postal code. We will also be grouping teams by postal code region on our scoreboards.

What are external links?
If teams have pages on sites other than GameChanger such as Weplay.com, links to those sites may appear here, and clicking them will take you off of the GameChanger site. We have no control or influence over the content found on outside sites, but provide these links as a convenience.

There are currently three GameChanger user roles.
Administrators
Administrators have full website administration and editing capabilities for their team and set the privacy settings for player stats.
They can also grant "Admin" permission to up to 2 other team followers.
In order to score a team game, a scorekeeper must be logged into the mobile scorekeeping application as a team administrator.
The original creator of a GameChanger team is made an Admin by default.
Fans
Fans have "read-only" capabilities on a team's GameChanger website.
Fans can view season stats, player game logs and spray charts.
Fans cannot view next game's lineup, and cannot edit rosters or schedules.
Users
Registered Users have limited "read-only" capabilities on GameChanger teams that they are not Fans of.
Users can view team rosters, schedules and box scores, and the team's FanBase.
"Non-Fan" Users cannot view player stats, game logs or spray chart data. Users must become Fans for access to statistics outside of individual box scores.

Completed Games
Differences between "Unfinished" and "Final"
A scored game's statistics do not become official in the GameChanger scorebooks until the Scorekeeper or Admin finalizes the game.
When a scored game is over, the Scorekeeper clicks [End Game], which makes the game "Final".
If [End Game] is not selected within 30 minutes of the last scored play, the game is marked "Unfinished" and denoted by this orange 'carrot symbol': ^
Unfinished games can also be made "Final" on the GameChanger website by authorized Admins.
Effect on Season Statistics and Spray Charts
Individual game statistics do not count towards season statistics until its box score is finalized and made "official". Additionally, 'Exhibition' game statistics are viewable only if selected from the Game Type drop-down menu. 'Exhibition' games never count towards season statistics or standings.
