Brookline Men's Softball League
Where and when do we play?
Open the app. Your next game is the first thing Home shows: date, time, field, and the rain outlook. No login, no searching for your team.
Can I put the schedule in my phone's calendar?
Yes. Every schedule page (season-wide or a single team's) has a "Subscribe" link. It adds a calendar feed that updates itself automatically whenever a game moves, instead of a one-time import that goes stale.
Is tonight rained out?
Check the top of any page first. If the league has called it, a banner says so there. Otherwise the weather column on Schedule shows a forecast, which is a heads-up, not a decision: only an actual banner or a game marked "Postponed" means it's really off.
The score or standings look wrong
Scores are reported by team managers, not the league office. Ask your team's manager to check or correct it. Standings recompute automatically the moment a score is fixed.
How do the playoffs work?
Each round is a short series rather than a single game — best of 3 for most rounds, best of 5 for the championship. Whoever wins more than half of them takes the series, so a best-of-3 is over at 2 wins even with a third game still on the schedule.
That's what an If necessary game is: it's played only if the series is still undecided when its turn comes. The Playoffs page has the full bracket, where every series stands, and the champion once there is one.
What does our team owe?
Team fees are tracked by the league and aren't shown publicly. Your manager can see the team's balance at the top of their score-reporting page. Payment goes to the league directly — there's no way to pay through this site.
How do managers report scores?
There's no manager login. Each team gets a private, unguessable link from the league — that link is the manager's password. Score reporting, forfeits, and game notes are all done from it, on a phone, with no username or password to remember. Lost your link? Ask the league to resend it.
What do the badges mean?
| DH | Doubleheader: two games, same night |
| ⚠ Needs score | Played, not yet reported |
| Postponed | Off, makeup date to come |
| If necessary | Playoff game played only if the series isn't already decided |
Still stuck? Your team manager handles scores. Anything about the schedule, fields, or fees goes to the league.
