Posting Scores Online
AA, AAA & Major League Coaches and Managers:
Please take a moment and register at our site. By registering you will be able to post you game scores online and do your part to keep the standings up to date and accurate. In order for the site to be successful it is essential for all managers and coaches join. The registration process is free, easy and will take just a few minutes of your time. Please click on the "board" section in the left margin and you'll be on your way. If you get stuck, refer to the helpful hints below. Once the season begins, the winning team coach of each game is responsible for posting the score of the game online, however either coach may enter the results. The standings will update automatically. It's simple to do and will take you only a few minutes. Please check the site once a week to make sure that your game scores have all been entered and that your team's record is correct and up to date. When entering a game score, if you cannot remember the specific score of the game, enter your best guess. The important thing is to record the proper winner and loser for the game. We do not have a call in system as in years past so this is the only way we can keep the standings straight.
We need 100% participation - the standings are useless unless everyone posts the scores.
