Your program, from yes to your first final whistle.
Everything between saying yes and your first game: what we need from you, what your desk does on the night, and what your families and coaches get out of it.
You do not build anything. Send us four things, we set the program up, and you get a link. You can start mid-season too — backfilling a game that has already been played takes a few minutes each.
This is the whole intake. Send it however it already exists — we would rather transcribe a photo of a printed schedule than have you retype it.
- 1) Your school, and which squads you want set up (varsity, JV, boys, girls)
- 2) Your schedule — a link, a PDF, a spreadsheet, or a photo of a printout
- 3) Your rosters, if you have them handy — cap numbers and names is enough
- 4) Who is actually at the desk on game night, and what device they will use
Worth knowing before you brief anyone, because it sets expectations for what the desk is responsible for. One person scores the game on a phone or tablet. Everything else follows from that single stream of taps, with no second job attached to it.
- Live score, visible to anyone following your team in about five seconds
- Box score, exclusions and shot detail — as much or as little as your desk wants to enter
- Season records and standings that update themselves, including ties
- A club-branded coaches report you can print or email
We send one invite link per person who needs to administer the program. Open it at admin.eggbeater.app and it binds to the account you sign in with, so it is worth being deliberate about who clicks it.
- The link is single-use and binds to the first account that opens it
- Do not forward it — ask us for a second invite instead, they are free
- Anyone can be an admin: the head coach, an assistant, a team parent who runs logistics
- Losing the link is not a problem. Ask and we will send another.
You should not have to configure a rulebook. High school play is the default, and the parts that most often get scored wrong are already handled.
- Quarters or halves, whichever your section plays — the period labels follow your choice
- A 30-second shot clock
- Overtime is two three-minute periods, then sudden victory
- No shootout: a tie is a legal final result, and it counts properly in your record and the standings
A realistic timeline, assuming you send the intake on a Monday and play on a Thursday.
- Monday — you send the four things above
- Tuesday — we set the program up and send your invite link
- Wednesday — your desk volunteer opens practice mode for ten minutes and scores a fake game
- Thursday — you score for real, and the families watching see it live
Questions programs actually ask
Nothing. The first high school season is free, and that is the season rather than a trial window that closes partway through it. We would rather you finish a season and decide than evaluate a demo.
Yes, and it is common. Games already played can be backfilled in a few minutes each, so you are current from your next game. You do not have to wait for a natural starting point.
No — that is the normal case and the design assumes it. There is nothing for a volunteer to install or sign up for, and a first-time desk can run a whole game on one button. Point each new person at practice mode for ten minutes beforehand and they will be fine.
No. Anyone with your team link can follow along. An account only matters for people who want notifications tied to a specific team, and that is their choice to make rather than yours.
Overwrite it — your edit always wins. Empty JV rosters are common because many schools publish varsity only, so that is the public source being thin rather than the app failing. Typing a squad in takes about two minutes.
A phone works. A tablet is more comfortable, and if your program has a dedicated scoring table there is a desk-specific layout built for a bigger screen and a keyboard. Any of the three scores the same game the same way.
Yes. Games between two of your own squads are automatically marked as scrimmages and kept out of both records, so a scrimmage never inflates or damages your season record.
It stays. Every finalized game and roster is archived permanently, feeds your season history and player totals, and can be loaded back in when the next season starts.
