This year in Babe Ruth we will be using Game Changer and the traditional scorebook.
The first part of this document will cover Game Changer and if you scroll to the end of the Game Changer section you will find a training on using a scorebook. It is important that as many parents as possible learn to keep score. At each game the home team will need 2 volunteers in the score booth and the visiting team will need 1.
#1: Download the Game Changer App onto your device
Requires iOS 11.0 or later. Compatible with iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch.
#2: Sign Up for a Free Account
When you actually score a Babe Ruth Game you will be logged into the Babe Ruth Account. For now, your free account will let you practice scoring a game. You will also be able to use this account to "watch" your team's games during the season.
#3: How to use the practice scorekeeping feature on the app.
