Starting a Game Session
Before the First Pitch
- From the dashboard tap Log Game Data
- Select Game as the session type
- Select your opponent — choose from your saved opponents list or tap New Opponent to add one
- If you have a game scheduled for today it will appear at the top as a pre-filled option — select it to avoid re-entering details
- Confirm the date and location
- Tap Start Game
The Game Hub opens and the session is active. An amber active game banner will appear on all other screens until the game is ended.
Pre-Game Checklist
Before the first pitch confirm:
- Correct opponent is selected
- Correct date shows (important for retroactive scoring)
- Your roster is up to date — add any new players before starting
- Any scorekeeper helpers are logged in and have the app open
Scrimmage vs. Game
When starting a session you select the session type:
- Game — counts toward season records, win/loss, ERA, and all analytics
- Scrimmage — logged identically but filtered separately in analytics
Use Scrimmage for intra-squad games or unofficial opponents. The event type filter in analytics lets you compare game vs scrimmage performance.
Resuming an Interrupted Session
If you navigate away mid-game the session stays active. Return to it via:
- The amber active game banner at the top of any screen
- The Resume button on the game card in your schedule
- The Live Game widget on your dashboard
