Quick Start – Creating a Team

There are two sections of SoftballTracker/BaseballTracker you must be familiar with as a team administrator.

Administrator Section – The Administrator is where you will make all your administrative changes like managing rosters, games and statistics. You go to the Administrator by clicking the Administrator link at the top right.

Team Website – The team website is where your team goes to views information about the team.  This is a read only website that is updated when the administrator makes changes in the Administrator. Your team website link can be found by clicking Administrator and then clicking the Team Name or Logo.  You will see a URL next to Team Website.  You can either click on this like to view your team site or distribute it to your team.
