Game Changer

SMBA will be using Game Changer for scoring all games in our 2026 Season. 

This platform is very user friendly and will allow fans at the fields and at home to follow along with the action!

SMBA will take care of all the set up! Every coach and player will receive a personal invite, by email, to join your team once all team rosters are complete. If you have not received your invite by Tuesday May 20th please email scheduler@soominorbaseball.com.

Please take some time to familiarize yourself with the app and how it functions.

Each team is responsible for keeping score of the game in the app. Any member of your team can keep score. You may also keep paper score but this is in addition to game changer and you will need to supply your own book. 

Pros of Game Changer

- Scores are automatically uploaded

- People who cant make the game can still follow along

- Team Communication. This is a very big positive this year. Coaches and players can communicate as a group or one on one through the app while keeping private information      private.

- Organization Communication. The Scheduler will be able to send messages through game changer to each team about schedule updates. 

Key things to keep in mind

9U - Each player is given 5 pitches at bat. When you are scoring your games score the first two pitches as balls and the last three pitches as strikes. That way if the player hits the ball on a pitch then it will be scored normally but if the player doesn't hit any of their pitches then the player will be out on the fifth pitch.

11U - Each at bat starts with 1 ball and 1 strike. You will manually have to input that at the start of each batter.

SMBA has run limits and batters per inning limits so make sure one of the things you review is how to end an inning before three outs. 

Do not worry about recording errors or getting fancy. All we need are the scores!
