Do I need a login?

No, the only people who need logins are those scoring the games and selecting the teams

How do I get the APP?

It's available now in the App Store and Google Play

App For Officials

The APP has an "Officials" section that lets Teams and Umpires:

  • Create Team Sheets - powered by TeamBuilder to select players
  • Score games live
  • Submit results directly from the APP
  • Results from all games live-stream on APP and websites

Why?

  • Improve the experience of volunteers, administrators and supporters of softball
  • Submission of results and team sheets/game reports was paper based and labour intensive at the volunteer/administrator level
  • Get results out quickly and accurately 
  • Visibility of results and standings for supporters of softball 

How do I use it?

The first step is to ensure your club has registered everyone online through Sporty.co.nz and created teams as per the Registration User Guide. All players need to be moved into a squad in Teambuilder.

The Club Admin User Guide on this page details how to set up scorers in Team Builder and allocate logins for the App.

To use the app as a scorer, check out the videos or "Softball Official User Guide" on this page.

If your club has APP set-up questions after reading these documents, please contact manager@hvsoftball.org.nz

Who will have access to the Team Sheets & Game Scoring?

Anyone who has been given a login to their team by their Club. Clubs will manage this, and have been asked to make sure there is back up in case someone is away or doesn't have their phone with them. Managers will be required to register as volunteers at their clubs to set up their login.

As a manager, scorer or coach how do I get access? 

Your club administrator will provide you with the scorer code to access your team(s).

I forgot my password

You can reset your password via the official's login

My APP doesn't have an officials button?

Check you have downloaded the Hutt Valley Softball Association app, not your local club app. Links to the app are above. 

My phone died and I need to submit a team list, what do I do?

  1. Keep a hard copy of the results and enter when you get home
  2. Your club should have given access to more than one person in your team, ask around and submit team list through there
  3. All else fails, here is a template of the team list/sheet/match report

I have logged in, and I can’t see my game?

  1. Has your draw been created? You can tell by checking on the website or on the draws button.
  2. Check with your club admin that you have access to the right team.
  3. Check your team has an active draw.
  4. Ask your club admin to send you the login app link again, click on the appropriate link in the app and then log into the app again.
  5. You’re not the scorer of the correct team, or you haven’t been granted scoring access to this team.

Some of my players aren’t there, why?

  1. The players haven’t registered with the club
  2. The players have registered, but they haven’t been loaded into team
  3. Check in other squad, do this by clicking on "select from other squad" in the app and select the players from other teams

If they’re not registered they cannot play this match. Solution: Player needs to register online and club admin needs to assign that player to the team so you can select them. 

It's Game Day and I have a problem that isn’t answered here, what do I do?

  1. Use your second scorer’s phone for this weekend and sort out on Monday
  2. Contact your club administrator in the first instance to check if they can help
  3. If they can’t help, ask your club administrator to contact the association
  4. If there is a massive problem, we will put a notification on our facebook page letting you know what you can do

I think the APP is broken or there has been a total failure?
