Can Team Staff Score Games On New Season Management?

[freezinKT]

We're done with our first season registration in SportsEngine HQ and have set up our divisions and season. We're just about to start creating teams and rostering players and staff.

I was looking at the scheduling functionality and wondered where coaches go to score games. Please do not tell me that an admin has to score all games. I do not want to be getting emails from 15+ coaches and putting scores in (plus the unnecessary manual publish button) myself every weekend. This has to be something team staff can do in a way that goes on the main website quickly and easily.

I hope someone can answer this question with a straight answer because I have asked it before and everything seems to lead back to having to make coaches Admins in HQ to allow them to score games OR have them send scores into one Admin to input.  NOT ideal as I have close to 100 coaches that I cannot make admins in HQ.

One of my league’s admins also coached over summer and answered it for me!

Coaches can score in the app and it does show up in season management. Then an admin does have to hit the manual publish (ugh) for it to show up on the microsite.

Coaches cannot score in Team Center or on the team microsite. I have asked for that feature. We manage 40 teams a season. Any coach who can’t use the app is creating work for webmasters, schedulers, or commissioners that is totally unnecessary…not to mention that manual publish button!

It is not ideal that the team "admin" security role provides the ability to score games and input stats but it also allows the Admin to create and update games/events.  As a league, we set all our games ahead of the season and don't allow our coaches to update game opponents, locations, etc.  Unfortunately, we had an over eager coach who decided he would go in and make some updates to game details without the leagues knowledge.  We didn't know until gameday and many families were operating off of this coaches information and not the league assigned date/time/opponent.  

It would seem to me it would make most sense to have a team "coach" role and a team "admin" role.  A coach should be able to message his/her team, score games, and input stats.  A team "admin" would have elevated rights to be able to do those things a coach can do but also be able to update games/events, etc.

YES! A coach should also be able to see RSVPs. League Athletics had it set up this way. The "admin" was basically a league level commissioner.

We also recently had an over-eager coach set practices. Unfortunately the coaches don't know black-out dates, field changes, last-minute conflicts, or anything. And those practices don't show up in season management, so we only caught it when I was setting up our master calendar painfully team feed by team feed.
