Call for your league’s innovations and tools

Devoted reader Steve Stein writes in an email:

“How about a post on cool tools your APBA league has devised?”

I think partially this is Steve’s nice way of saying “Tom, get off your butt and update the blog, wouldya?”.  And that’s a fair point, I’ve been so involved with covering the University of Illinois baseball team the APBA Blog has been put aside temporarily.  My bad. 

But Steve has a good idea.  What good tools or dedicated systems has your league devised to make stat-keeping, schedule-making,or any part of running a league easier or more effective?

Steve goes on with some of the innovations that his Transcontinental Baseball League have implemented.  But instead of springing them on you now, I’d like to include as part of a larger and more detailed article with more input from other leagues. 

So this is a call to those of you in leagues.  Please share your league’s innovations and tools that make your commissioner’s and stat-keeper’s and webmaster’s lives easer. 

Just email them to

thanks!
