Our third installment of League Mods comes from Steve Stein of the Transcontinental Baseball League. This one falls under the category of online league tools. It’s called the Schedule Tracker and color me impressed! I know my commissioner would love to have this for our league.
Here’s a quick screen shot:

Essentially, the Schedule Tracker is a web page that keeps track of who has played what games in the TBL. But it seems to take it a bit further than that. It allows managers to log their progress in playing their games. Have they sent their instructions? Are the games in progress? Are the stats mailed?
Assuming that the managers have faithfully updated their progress, the nifty online table displays a color-coded table which shows the progress for the month.
Very nifty. You can see the Schedule Tracker in action here.
Of course, this tool isn’t incredibly easy to implement and a few things are necessary to get started:
- a web hosting site with My SQL
- the knowledge of My SQL to put it all together
As an aside, the TBL has a standings page which is updated live. Again, let me say I think this is a pretty good set up. Kudos to Steve and the TBL.
Have a APBA modification you want to share? Email me.
