📋 What's New — May 2026 Release Notes Full changelog →

New Workflows

  • Awards & Certificates — Design batch or individual player certificates with AI narratives, signature fields, and a parent-visible publish flow. Frame purchase links included in the review panel.
  • Team Fees & Payments — Create fee records with installment schedules, generate Stripe Checkout links for online payment, record offline adjustments, and let parents view full invoice detail with balances and due dates.
  • Player Registration — Configure registration options with capacity limits and waitlists, process applications through a status-filtered admin queue, extend waitlist offers, and sync rosters and schedules from Sports Connect.
  • Team Media & Albums — Organize team photos and video links into member-visible or manager-only albums. Members can upload photos; admins have bulk select, move, reorder, and delete controls.

New Sports

  • Baseball & Softball — Fully supported with built-in stat templates (AB, H, R, RBI, BB, FP), diamond formations, batting order planning, seven-inning defaults, and run-scoring tracking.

Broadcasting & Streaming

  • Broadcast Setup Flow — Structured panel with session name, guided checking/ready/permission-failed states replacing generic camera copy.
  • Stream & Score — Combined volunteer access level — scorekeeping and streaming controls in one game-day workspace.
  • Live Play Announcer — Opt-in audio narration of live events via the browser's Web Speech API. Works for live and replay. Mutable, pauseable, preference persisted.
  • Saved Replay Highlight Library — Highlights in the game media hub with title, timestamp, player tags, and seek-to-moment for replay navigation.
  • Replay Availability States — Distinct unavailable / processing / failed / ready states instead of a blank video area.
  • Embeddable Scoreboard Widget — Copy an iframe snippet or direct link from the team page to embed a live read-only scoreboard on external websites.

Calendar & Schedule

  • Private Team Calendar Feed — Token-authorized HTTPS ICS feed with live subscription support. Sync via Apple Calendar, Google Calendar, or copy link from the new Sync Calendar dialog.
  • Public Fan Feed — Read-only games-only ICS for public teams or shareable games. Excludes practices, RSVPs, and assignments.
  • Organization Draft Slot Generator — Build a full season slot grid across teams with venue availability, blackouts, conflict detection, and local draft saving before publishing.
  • Organization Bulk Import — CSV template download, upload, validation preview, and import with conflict detection for org-level schedules.
  • Registration Schedule Import — Preview add/update/unchanged/conflict status rows before committing imported events from a registration provider.

Roster & Players

  • Roster Tracking Items — Create player-scoped checklists (forms, equipment, certs). Toggle complete/incomplete per player. Public items visible to linked parents in read-only view.
  • Household Invite Workflow — Parents can share player access with another caregiver; invite is pending until redeemed.
  • Household Access Revocation — Revoke a household contact's access from Parent Dashboard. Removes delegated links and invalidates invite tokens. Roster shows contact status.
  • Roster Import Conflict Preview — Preview add/update/unchanged/conflict rows before applying an imported roster. Conflict rows are excluded automatically.

Access Control & Staff

  • Scoped Scorekeeper Grants — Grant specific members game-scoring access without full admin rights.
  • Scoped Videographer Grants — Grant selected members live-game media capture without admin status.
  • Team Staff & Permissions Overview — New section on team page listing owner/admin staff, pending invites, and all scoped helpers with distinct empty states.
  • Restricted Officiating Self-Assignment — Open slots claimable only by eligible team participants (owner, admin, parent, roster member, or global admin).
  • Edit-Config Access Guard — Config editing restricted to owners, platform admins, or admins whose auth email matches the Firestore record.

Account & Invites

  • Invite Email Enforcement — Signup email must match the invite email; mismatch is rejected before account creation.
  • Invite Context Preserved Through Signup — Code and type carry through to login/signup so users don't re-enter the activation code.
  • Signed-Out Invite Link Routing — Signed-out users with an invite link go directly to login with invite context intact.

Chat

  • Targeted Conversations — Send direct messages or staff-group messages alongside the team-wide channel. Firestore rules enforce per-participant access.
  • Chat Media Gallery Loads Older Messages — Photos & Videos gallery fetches older history so all media is included on open.

Live Tracker Improvements

  • Simple Live Goal Tracker — Goal-sport games (soccer, hockey, lacrosse, field hockey, water polo) now offer a score/clock/goals-only mode alongside the full stat tracker.
  • Substitution Persistence — Live Tracker subs are saved to game.liveLineup after each change.
  • Clock Restoration on Reopen — Live game clock restores elapsed time and running state after a page reload.
  • Stat Undo Aggregation Sync — Undoing a live stat correctly reverts aggregated totals and rebroadcasts to Game Day.
  • Zero-Stat Participation Markers — Players with no stats but game appearances are explicitly marked in aggregate data and shown in profile history.
  • Fouled-Out Labeling — Players with 5+ fouls show "FOULED OUT!" in the tracker instead of a warning icon only.
  • Playing Time on Finish — Player elapsed field time correctly saved when finishing a live game.

Game Day & Game Plan

  • Auto-Populate Lineup — Selecting a formation on an empty lineup auto-fills positions with available Going players.
  • Game Plan Rotation Fix — Rotation now uses the most recent player position assignments even when legacy data is present.
  • AI Summary Uses Wrap-Up Score — "Analyze Game" and "Generate Summary" use the Wrap-Up field score, not the in-game running score.
  • Sibling RSVP Fix — Parents with multiple children now get separate RSVP controls per child in calendar modal.
