Depuis la saison 2026

All features

The full picture of what the platform does today for baseball associations across Canada — for umpires, scorekeepers and managers. And what's coming next.

Plan & assign

11 features
Games & schedule
Create, edit and delete games (date, time, field, level, teams, duration). Changing the date or field of an already-assigned game automatically notifies the officials involved, and flags any who end up double-booked. Umpires view a read-only schedule, with filters by level, field, status and date range.
Game CSV import
Import a full season from a CSV file, with a validation preview before confirming (valid rows, duplicates, errors and warnings). Optional duration and notes columns, ISO or North American date formats.
Smart mapping on import
During CSV import, interactively map unrecognized values (levels, fields) to your existing entities — or create the missing field — without re-editing the file.
Duplicate-free re-import
Re-import the same file, or an updated schedule, without ever creating a duplicate game: games already on file are recognized and skipped, while new ones go through as usual. A cancelled game you re-import is flagged as a re-creation.
Calendar view
Switch between list and calendar views (month or week). Managers get an at-a-glance coverage status for every game (red, amber, green).
Field registry
A shared provincial registry avoids duplicates. Import the fields you need or add your own, along with their address — key to detecting scheduling conflicts across venues.
Fields on the map
Drop each field onto a map with a single click — handy for parks with no clear street address. Anywhere a field name appears it becomes clickable: officials see the address, the map, and open directions right from their phone.
Assignments
Position-based assignment showing each candidate's level, age, eligibility, reliability and season workload. Scheduling-conflict detection is automatic and blocking.
Automatic fill-in
The system proposes an official for every open position, starting with the hardest to fill and balancing workload as it goes. Every suggestion is explained; review it, drop what doesn't fit, then accept everything in one click.
Scorekeeper
The scorekeeper is a full-fledged official: dedicated training path, and a person can be umpire, scorekeeper or both. Exactly one scorekeeper per game, integrated into availability, assignments and workload balance.
Doubleheaders
Pair two (or more) games at the same field on the same day and copy the crew from one game to the other in one click, with per-game pricing.

Availability made simple

5 features
Setting availability
Each umpire sets availability game by game (plate, bases, scorekeeper or unavailable) with automatic saving. Managers see all availabilities for each game.
Recurring templates
Set rules like "available every Saturday morning" that fill in your availability automatically, with one-off exceptions that don't break the rest of the template. Declared time off always overrides the template.
Time off and vacation
Declare a period away once — "July 20 to August 3" — and you are not proposed for any game on those dates, including games added to the schedule while you are away. Your usual availability resumes on its own when you return.
Chasing missing availability
The system chases answers instead of waiting for them: an official who has set nothing for the next three weeks gets a reminder, at most one a week. Answering "unavailable" is enough to stop them, and anyone can turn the reminders off.
Reply from email
Umpires accept or decline an assignment straight from the buttons in their email, without logging in. Less friction, higher response rate.

Handle the unexpected

7 features
Shortage alert
The system watches the next 14 days and flags every at-risk position — with no confirmed candidate (red) or covered only by uncertain availability (orange) — before the gap becomes an emergency.
Configurable withdrawals
An unavailable umpire can withdraw according to the association's rules (free deadline, up to game time, or mandatory notice to the manager). Every withdrawal feeds the reliability indicator.
Game swaps between officials
An official who can no longer work a game offers it to an available, qualified colleague. They stay assigned until the colleague accepts: the game is never left uncovered, the manager is kept informed, and the official's reliability is unaffected.
Bulk cancellations & postponements
Multi-select games: cancel, postpone (new date or day shift) or unschedule in a single action, with automatic notification of every assigned official — built for the weather.
Weather alert
A weather preview shows up right on your games for the next five days, and an alert flags the ones at risk of rain within 36 hours — with direct access to bulk cancellation or postponement. The call is always yours.
Automatic replacement market
As soon as an official (umpire or scorekeeper) withdraws, the system finds eligible and available replacements, sends them an offer, and assigns the first to accept.
Read receipts & reminders
Managers see in real time which umpires have seen their assignment or a schedule change, and can send a reminder in one click — no more verification calls.

Fairness & compliance

18 features
Eligibility rules
The provincial Baseball Québec grid (required level and age per level of play) is applied automatically, with a simple non-blocking indicator. Each association can loosen or tighten the rules — for umpires as well as scorers, who have their own grid (required level).
Certification tracking
Record when each umpire's certification and each scorekeeper's training expire. The software flags certifications that have expired or expire within 60 days — in the officials list, on your dashboard and at assignment time — without ever blocking an assignment.
Assignment preferences
Each umpire sets their preferred levels of play, fields to avoid, weekly game maximum and preferred partners. The coordinator sees these indicators while assigning and can define pairs of officials that should never be paired together.
Assignment suggestions
On the assignment page, every candidate gets an explained score combining eligibility, workload balance, reliability, confirmed availability, preferences and rookie mentoring — the list is sorted from best pick to least.
Rookie mentoring
A first- or second-year umpire is no longer left alone on the field: flag your mentors in one click, and the software pairs them with rookies first when it builds crews. A warning flags a rookie with no mentor, without ever blocking your decision.
Post-game evaluations
After a game, the manager rates each official on the association's own criteria — overall rating, positioning, communication, or custom ones. Officials see their ratings and comments so they can improve, without ever seeing who evaluated them; the average helps spot who needs training.
Workload balance & reliability
A dashboard shows how games are shared among umpires (plate, bases, total) with their reliability rate, exportable to CSV.
Pay rates & payment tracking
Pay-rate grid by level and position. After each game the manager approves each official's attendance (a no-show isn't paid) and marks payments settled with a note. Every official tracks their paid and upcoming earnings.
Travel fees
Add a flat allowance per field, paid to every official who travels there. It's added to the game rate automatically, shown separately in exports, and the amount is locked in at assignment time: adjusting a field never changes pay that's already been calculated.
Payroll exports
Filter payroll by date range, status or official, then export it to CSV: a summary, a line-by-line journal with every game's full context, or a per-official recap ready to prepare your transfers. Each official can carry their federation member number, included in the exports so you can reconcile your figures with federation records without re-keying. You download exactly what you see on screen.
Season management
Manage your seasons with historical archiving. Umpire profiles persist from one season to the next.
Season rollover
Start next season in a few clicks: your officials' recurring availability carries over, commitments included, with no one having to re-enter it. Two seasons can overlap, for playoffs or a fall league.
End-of-season report
A consolidated season summary you can print for your board: games played, coverage rate, each official's activity and reliability, pay by division and withdrawals. Exportable to CSV, and available for past seasons too.
Official's season summary
Each official sees their season at a glance: games by position, hours on the field, earnings, reliability and level progress. A printable certificate, signed by the supervisor, serves as a reference for school or a first job.
Incident reports
After an ejection, abusive behaviour or an unsafe field, the official writes a signed report the same evening, in a common format. Once submitted it can no longer be changed; the manager is notified, tracks it and prints it for the league.
Anonymous reporting for young officials
An official who experiences or witnesses abuse, intimidation or inappropriate behaviour can report it from their phone, without their name being recorded. Only their association's coordinators read it and can reply; the official follows up with a confidential code. 911 and outside resources (Sport'Aide, Quebec's Protector of Integrity in Recreation and Sport) are always shown.
Audit log
Who assigned, removed or changed what, and when: every change to games, assignments, replacements, rates and payments is recorded automatically, with the value before and after. Filter by period, action or person, and export to CSV to settle a dispute.
Personal information (Quebec's Law 25)
A published privacy policy, sensitive information (date of birth, member number, certification expiry dates) visible only to the official and their managers, a complete export of the association's data or of one's own, and removal of a former official's identity on request, without losing the season's history.

Stay connected

12 features
Personalized dashboard
From the moment you sign in, every umpire and manager sees an at-a-glance summary of their activity — upcoming games, availabilities to fill in, upcoming payments.
Email notifications
Automatic emails at key moments: assignment, assignment removal, reported withdrawal, invitation. Each umpire manages preferences in their profile.
Sent email log
When an official says they never got it, the answer is on screen: every email leaves a record — date, address, subject, and the reason when a send failed. Managers see their officials' records; each official sees their own in their profile.
Association announcements
The manager writes a message — a weather call, a clinic reminder, a rule change — and gets it to every official or to a targeted group, by email and in the app. Each announcement can carry an expiry date so it doesn't linger forever.
Pre-game reminders
A reminder email goes out automatically before each game, using the lead time your association picked (12, 24 or 48 hours). Officials who have not yet confirmed are reminded in the message, and can opt out from their profile.
Calendar sync (iCal)
Subscribe once to see your assignments in Google Calendar, Apple Calendar or Outlook. Secure personal link, revocable anytime.
Mobile app
Fully mobile-friendly interface — collapsible menu, lists as stacked cards, optimized forms. Built for umpires who check from their phone.
Install it and use it offline
Add the app to your phone's home screen in one step, with no app store involved. Once installed, it shows your assignments and availability even without a network — at a rural field or in a dressing room — and any availability you tick offline is sent on its own as soon as the signal is back.
Bilingual interface
The whole application is available in French and English, with a language switcher accessible at all times, even before you sign in.
Sign in your way
Sign in via magic link by email — no password to remember — or with your Google account. Anyone who prefers a classic password can set one from their profile. Your session stays active between visits.
Umpire invitations
Managers invite their officials by email. The umpire clicks the link, and their account is created and automatically linked to the association.
Association sign-up
A new association signs up through a public form, then gets approved by the platform administrator before its isolated, secure workspace is activated.
