The GameSheet system can be thought of as two different components: 1. The Dashboard Website. This is the heart of the system and the place where settings, rosters, schedules, and completed games are stored and accessed. This is also where you’ll find advanced reporting, stats, and league management tools. 2. The iPad Scoring App. This is a digital version of the paper score sheet. Games are scored using this app and are uploaded to the GameSheet Cloud where they can be viewed. Watch this video to learn more.
