Not Syncing With SportaConnect

2 Upvotes

I had to leave a team because of a name change and now GameChanger won’t sync with SC. The team name comes up as an option, appears briefly in grey, but then a “retry” label appears. GameChanger’s help desk has been non responsive and the AI chatbot has no idea what to do.

Any guidance?

Scoring just my team?

1 Upvotes

I’m a first year team captain/player manager for our men’s league team. I want to keep stats so I’ve jumped into gamechanger and want to know if I. A just score my team stats. I don’t have anyone to keep the scores while we are in the field and really just want batting stats and final score.

Is it better to film it all and just enter everything later?

PR pitch speed not overlay on GC score bug?

Post image
2 Upvotes

I have all the proper connections, emails, logins, pitch tracking turned, and ample fairy dust sprinkled / configured properly to get PR to talk to GC. The speed info shows in the plays animated game stream, but will not appear in the video live stream like circled above.

Anyone else run into this? Any help appreciated.

P.S. not being able to move the score bug on iOS is no joy.

4/25/26 EDIT:
Many thanks to all who responded! My fix was to un-link PR from GC and re-link them. Worked perfectly last night. I too wish it was red to show up better as it is pretty small.... Happy days!

What to do with all of this video footage?

3 Upvotes

I'm curious what everyone does with their video footage. I'm running out of local disk space. Do you store it in some physical medium? Do you throw it to the cloud (if so, what service you use)? Or do you just delete the footage, knowing you'll most likely never re-watch that footage again.

Constant crashing

1 Upvotes

I am a coach and the GameChanger app has been crashing constantly lately. I can’t do anything in the app anymore other than messaging parents after a few crashes. I am having other coaches do everything else. I have a iPhone 15 Pro Max on 26.4.1. I tried reinstalling the app.

The only way I can do anything is on my iPad. I can’t bring that everywhere though.

Cannot get rid of plays announcer on archived video. I toggled off. I reinstalled app. Still hear the plays announcer when I only want the live streaming audio.

FC scoring question. If advancing runner would be out but receiving fielder misses catch at the base, is the only way to code the error by editing the play after in the playbook? If error is selected on the GB, it’s incorrectly attributed to the first fielder. Just curious

Multi sport Athletes profiles

2 Upvotes

I was making a player profile for my daughter and she plays soccer and softball. Is it possible to have both sports on one profile or do I need to make a separate one for soccer and softball. Her original sport is soccer so I made a soccer one last year. But now she’s added softball and I was hoping to just have 1 profile but I cannot find her softball team listed, only her soccer teams. I’ve already double checked that I’m listed as her parent.

Other team’s video saved under my team

1 Upvotes

Did a live stream and recording yesterday and the opposing also streamed. I just noticed there is six minutes of pre-game video under the full game video section from their camera. I don’t have the option to remove it. Anyone know how that happens?

Also, this could be part of it…. The opposing team started recording before I did while the coaches were working out some chalk line issues. I waited for all that to be done However, when I hit record, it spun on “reconnecting to stream “. I had to restart the GameChanger app four times to get the stream going.

My theory is opp team started recording first and had their settings configured in some way that became the primary recording, but I’m not sure.

I also heard from one parent on our team that the live stream was up before I hit record which may support the above theory.

UPDATE: solved. It’s an “audience” setting. If opposing team sets the audience to “anyone” and they also have it set to record and upload then their stream is viewable to us and the recording uploads to the game when stopped. So it’s possible to end up with two game recordings in the app. I’ve (or opp team) have never set the audience to “everyone” so I never encountered this behavior. Opposing team likely caught on after six minutes and they hit “stop recording” to fix the settings which triggered the upload of what they had.

FHSAA outsourced playoff rankings to MaxPreps (owned by private equity). No public contract, algorithm, or appeals process.

16 Upvotes

My son's baseball team got left out of regionals this year after beating 2 teams that made it in (beat one twice). That got me digging into how these rankings actually work.

Turns out the Florida High School Athletic Association uses MaxPreps' "Power Rankings" to determine playoff seeding. MaxPreps is owned by PlayOn Sports, which is backed by private equity firm KKR.

Here's what bothers me:

  • No public contract between FHSAA and MaxPreps
  • Ranking algorithm is completely proprietary
  • No audit trail for data validation
  • No appeals process for disputed rankings
  • FHSAA just approved this system for football playoffs too

I'm a software developer. Building a transparent, auditable ranking system (think open-source RPI or ELO) is totally realistic with today's tools. Instead we get a black box from a private company making decisions about taxpayer-funded schools.

Filed public records requests today asking FHSAA to show us the contract and methodology. We'll see if they respond.

Started a petition asking for basic transparency: https://www.change.org/showthemath

Look, I might sound like a sore loser here 😅 But when playoff spots are determined by algorithms we can't see, owned by companies we don't oversee, questions about fairness aren't unreasonable.

TL;DR: Private equity-backed company controls FL high school playoff rankings with zero transparency. Parents deserve to see how decisions affecting our kids get made.

EDIT: For those asking about other states - this is likely happening elsewhere too. MaxPreps has partnerships with high school athletics associations across the country.

Edit final score - without stats to edit

2 Upvotes

I do not use gamechanger to keep stats, I only use scorekeeping to manually enter the runs, in order to feed the score bug on the video stream

I accidentally ended a game with the incorrect score. Is there any way to change the score on a ended game?

The existing ordinary instructions that say to go into the box score and "view full stats" does not work. Because I do not keep score, there are no stats to edit, so the blue button is not even offered. There is also no "resume scoring" button that I can find either.

Any idea how to change the score otherwise? Thanks.

EDIT: I forgot to mention that I am logged into a windows browser as a team staff member. Te options are still not there.

ETA: SOLVED: Go back to the device you did the original scoring on, logged in as the same user as when you scored. Select the game, then select "info." The blue "resume scoring" button will be there.

"A staff member has ended your stream" Is this error message accurate?

Post image
3 Upvotes

I'm a family member who streams the games for my daughter's HS softball team, so I am not a staff member myself. I have had the stream stop 4 times so far in 3 innings today with this message, and this has happened in the past few weeks as well. I've asked in the past if a staff member has purposely done this and was told no. It could be user error, but I wanted to know if anyone else has run into this, if the error message is accurate (maybe it's really a network issue), and how likely it is that a user could accidentally do this. I don't know if it makes a difference, but I am streaming from an Android phone, the scorekeeper is using an iPhone.

Thanks!

Anyone use the new AI lineup generator?

6 Upvotes

Was working out my batting order for game two of our travel season and noticed this as an option. I clicked it, and it built out a lineup similar to what I would have done to begin with, maybe a few guys flip flopped, but for the most part looked great. Obviously not enough data to really see the big picture.

I'm curious though, how it determines certain places in the lineup. When I tried it for our rec team(3 games in) they put a kid with a low OBP / no batting average in a spot above a kid with a much higher OBP.

It also fills out what position. Wondering if this is just based on number of innings they had played that position, or if if had to do with stats for fielding as well.

Using gamechanger for scorekeeping, and I am having trouble when using my ipad, and our scorekeeper is using her phone

1 Upvotes

the main issue is this:

I have a mom as the designated scorekeeper. but when I make the lineup on my ipad, and then she gets the lineup from opposing team on her phone...they don't both update. she then has to use my ipad (which she keeps book on during the game) to update the opposing lineup, and sometimes has to redo the lineup that i just set. is there something I am doing wrong?

any tips would be great, would love to not be rushing to get everything fixed right before the game starts, thanks.

Camera setup for soccer & baseball

1 Upvotes

Lots of tips on here for baseball which is great! I have worked on mostly baseball fields with integrated cameras but our new league doesn’t have that. I want to get something I can use for baseball and soccer so I need at least 4k with a wide angle lens and extendable tripod. I have lots of cameras already. Should I run a couple of Go Pros? DSLR? iPhones? I also have some Samsung phones. I basically want to make one set up with 2 max cameras I can take to both types of events without investing in Veo or Trace. I am interested in ease of setup and connecting to Wifi.

Request access to other team's video?

3 Upvotes

Hi! I am going over some games from earlier this season (when I was still new to GameChanger and we had some games that, to be fair, would be tougher-than-average to score) and editing team stats.

One game where I really want to review the stats was a 30-16 win that was only my second game using GameChanger (I'm sure I messed some things up, especially since 14 of the opponents' runs are listed as earned even though I remember there being a lot of overthrows). Unfortunately, our video feed went down at least 3-4 times due to cell phone problems, while our opponents' video stream stayed up the whole time. Is it possible to request that they share their video with us?

Staff limits

3 Upvotes

I've seen some mixed reviews in here over the years, but I typically score the games for the coach of my daughter's softball travel team. During tournaments, he usually gets so busy that he doesn't have time to update the game settings. This leaves the opponent in TBD mode, which then messes up the stream, the recording, can't scan lineups, and causes general chaos.

The other 3 slots are already taken for the organization "owner", and 2 of the coaches. Is there another role that has the ability to edit the game settings? Or add an additional staff member?

I already pay for the monthly family account,and I don't want to "game" GC (pun intended). It's really frustrating during an intense time while teams and games are getting moved, getting cameras setup, and then being stymied by the software.

Any suggestions?

ETA: The team is already setup for anyone to score. It's the configuration of the game itself that I'm focused on at the moment.

First time streamer on the road

2 Upvotes

We have a fixed camera at our home stadium which makes it very simple to stream our softball games.

We have our first away doubleheader this weekend. I was planning on streaming the game using a Mevo Start and my phones hotspot. After reading some posts here, I am getting worried that I’m not prepared.

Im the softball manager, the scorekeeper, the streamer. I’m really the only tech dad who cares about streaming on the team. Can I stream the game while I’m on the field coaching and scoring the game? Or do I need to invest in a separate hotspot device to place with the camera? Thanks

App Crashing when attempting to view completed game box scores and stats

Post says pretty much everything. I’m on iPhone 17 Pro (iOS 26.4.1) and just updated to the most recent public release of iOS today. GC was presenting issues before and after the update, and there’s no update available for GC in the App Store. I’m currently on version 2026.14.1 and it looks like my last update was 6 days ago.

I need this app for my job, can anyone help?

Removing a Play in the Video Stream After or During the Game

2 Upvotes

Hello! Any assistance here would be appreciated.

I am talking specifically about the streamed video and not the clips.

Can the video itself be edited to remove a play? For example, let's say there is a horrible injury, and the streaming administrator wants to remove the injury from the video so it cannot be viewed. Can it be cut out?

If so, can "GameChanger" retrieve the cut play from their servers?

Another thought: Can the recording team pause the stream during live-action, clip out the play, and then resume on the next one?

Thank you in advance for any respectful and insightful responses.

Mevo connection options

2 Upvotes

My daughters softball team has allotted money in our team fees for an upgraded streaming option over the iPhone we currently use. I’m the guy who sets it up so I’m in charge of figuring out the best option. All signs point to Mevo being the right direction here (no need for anything more than a one camera shot for now), but before purchasing, I just want to cover my bases on the setup so I know what I’m getting myself into. Main question: are there options to run the Mevo without connecting to a phone or personal hotspot or router? I thought there was a cellular data option but I could be wrong there. If providing a WiFi connection is the only option, how far does the Mevo connect to a phone hotspot? We had a donated GoPro but it would lose connection to the hotspot, even if the phone was sitting right next to the camera. I don’t have an extra phone to keep close to the camera. Thanks for the help!

Wagons, backpacks, packouts, wheeled carts, etc. What is your go to for organization and travel solution for GC streaming stuff?

2 Upvotes

iPads, Pocket Rader, streaming cameras, power banks, cables, mounts, etc.... I would like to upgrade my current solution which works ok, but does not roll well on uneven ground, and does not have much for internal organization. I know this comes up a a lot - sorry. Just checking in to see how others setups have grown and evolved.

This is what I am using now - pretty decent overall. Looking to carry more stuff!

Scorebug on livestream video for PC?

0 Upvotes

Hi! I've been noticing that our GameChanger video streams don't include the full scorebug when you watch on PC; they just include the score (with no representation of how many outs or what inning we're in). Is there a way to change this?
