The Workflow
From registration through results — the full Softball operating cycle on one platform.
Age or grade eligibility with a configurable cutoff date, divisions from rec to travel, waivers and payments online — one permanent profile per player.
Home-to-first, pop times, pitch speed and throwing accuracy at dedicated stations, with multiple attempts per drill and the embedded speed timer for running events.
Weighted metrics and position-specific scoring; percentile rankings and Performance Lab scores compare the full tryout pool while blind scoring keeps evaluators independent.
Run a live draft with a public viewing mode, or build balanced teams from Performance Lab scores — with audited roster moves and roster lock.
Registration & Athlete Profiles
Age or grade eligibility rules with a configurable cutoff date, divisions you define, capacity limits with waitlists, and sibling discounts.
Primary and secondary positions, height, graduation year, slap-hitting and utility skills captured via custom program questions, photos and achievements — one permanent profile per player.
Performance Lab
A typical DraftTime softball tryout template:
| Metric | Measured As | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Home-to-First lower is better | time · seconds | — |
| 5-10-5 Agility lower is better | time · seconds | — |
| Pop Time (C) lower is better | time · seconds | Position-specific |
| Pitch Speed | speed · mph | — |
| Exit Velocity | speed · mph | — |
| Throwing Accuracy | percentage | — |
| Slap Hitting Rating | rating | 1–10 scale |
| Fielding Rating | rating | 1–10 scale |
Build any of these with DraftTime's Performance Lab template builder — tryout, practice, game and camp templates with custom metric types, multiple attempts, position-specific scoring and 1–5, 1–10 or 1–100 scales. Timed drills can run on the embedded speed timer.
Event Day
The same event engine runs Performance Lab sessions, tryouts, camps, clinics and meets.
Every Softball event runs on the same operational engine. Families register online and each registration receives its own check-in QR code. On event day, staff scan athletes in at the gate with optional photo capture, add walk-ups on site, and track every station, evaluator and athlete in real time from Mission Control.
Evaluators score from any device at their station, and blind scoring keeps results hidden until submission so each judge works independently. A head evaluator can review and override with a recorded reason. Weighted metrics and position-specific scoring let your Softball staff emphasize exactly what matters for each position group.
Performance Lab scores and percentile rankings rank the tryout pool, live leaderboards update during the event and can be made public, and automated result emails reach every family.
Team Building
Placement tools for programs that form teams from Performance Lab results.
The Balanced Team Builder converts tryout scores into fair teams automatically — or run a live draft for full control, with audited roster moves and roster lock.
Season Operations
Targeted email and SMS with per-recipient delivery tracking and a full communication history. Send to filtered groups by division, program or event — and after every Softball event, automated result emails reach each family automatically.
Online Softball registration with Stripe or PayPal checkout, Save & Pay Later for families who need time, family/sibling discounts, coupon codes and scholarships, payment plans, and parent-ready invoices and receipts that carry the registration's check-in QR code.
Home-to-first times, pop times and skill ratings trend season over season on each player's permanent profile, with AI development plans built from measured results.
The Whole Organization
Parents register in minutes, receive automated confirmations and result emails, view public leaderboards when you enable them, and follow their athlete's Softball development on a permanent profile that travels across seasons and organizations.
Role-based staff permissions (Commissioner, Director, Division Director, Coach, Evaluator, Check-In Staff, Finance and more), a full audit log of sensitive actions, custom division eligibility rules with a configurable age cutoff date, capacity limits and waitlists, white-label branding, and your own public organization website — one place to run Softball.
