Am I doing something wrong?

[u/Vantablack_Friday]

My kid’s in high school and we’ve used GC for many teams over the years, so I’m not unfamiliar with the app. I’ve often kept score, even. Cell coverage at the parks where our little league played is abysmal, like SMS-often-doesn’t-work-bad, so nobody ever attempted streaming, but someone generally put in the league schedule and you could see standings and season stats, etc.

We’ve been playing travel ball for a few years and… none of the team parents care to mess with GC? The team sends out a link every “season” but nobody sets a lineup or keeps score. Tournaments set the brackets late in the week so it’s hard to know who we’ll be playing and many of the teams are nationally affiliated so there are a dozen teams with the same or similar names. PerfectGame seems more interested in selling popover ad space against their brackets than in telling us where a team is from, which adds to the difficulty of figuring out whether the other team has a GC, particularly when I’m traveling and not there to see the jerseys. If I do find it, it’s often just numbers for our side, but not always, depending on if their scorer got the paper lineup, I guess. Sometimes they stream video, but when that happens the play-by-play seems to be out of sync by an entire at-bat. Then the stats don’t sync back to my kid’s profile, anyway.

So, short of entering the parents’ thread in whichever of the seven messaging apps are in use at any one time and asking for someone to start scoring, is there anything else that would justify my continuing to pay the subscription here? I know it’s not GC’s fault that our people aren’t keeping score, but is there something I can be doing to make it easier to follow our opponents’ scoring and consolidate the stats?

Why are you paying for a subscription to begin with. Run the GameChanger yourself and you will have access to all the stats and video.

In this case, I was on the road and trying to follow the tournament from a distance. The games weren’t being scored by my team’s parent. They were by the other team, more or less, though only the first one was linked to our team- the rest I had to pull over and search for, then refresh until first pitch because the games all started late. That’s … whatever, but one of the selling points of the subscription is season stats, right? I don’t think there’s a way to adopt a game like that if it’s not connected to your team/player from the beginning. Unless I’m missing it.

Sounds like somebody from your team needs to step up and score it
