About League Draft
Frustrated with other options for managing youth sport draft boards, our coaches and developers got together and created an app our team uses for every draft we participate in. With the app our Draft times have moved from 3+ hours to about 1.5 hours or less.
Big Time Coach Baseball League Draft brings you over 30 years of baseball league management experience right to your iPad. This season move way from spread sheets, black boards, or other draft tools and processes, and move into a more streamlined process.
With this app We have developed another easy to use tool that this time is aimed to help League Staff, Player Agents, and other league staff by putting all the draft necessities into a single efficient app. League officials will save hours of work, and the coaches who participate in the draft will have much more fun in the process.
The League Draft Features will allow you to conduct a live draft for you league with the ability to control the draft by setting up 'Brother Options', tracking previous divisons of play, and even applying Min/Max levels on an age by age basis. No more tracking picks on a chalk or white board, and keeping manual track of which team made which pick.
Challenging situations like unwinding to fix problems are a simple touch of a button away. Then resume the draft from the unwind point. When the draft is complete, export teams and send the rosters directly to the coaches.
Big Time Coach League Draft Features include:
- Dedicated 'Pool' of players that multiple drafts can pull from
- Tracking of Previous Divisions to ensure players do not fall through to lower divisions.
- Min/Max Values by Age to assist in distribution of players
- Pre-Draft "slotting" of players for coaches sons/daughters and titled players
- Support for Serpentine or Continuous Draft Order types
- Integrated post round review to ensure accurate picks
- Simple / Integrated 'Unwind' function to aid you when there are draft problems.
- Post draft one-button trade and roster export functions.
- Included in the Baseball League Draft App is the newly created Help Viewer developed by the Big Time Coach team. Making it easy for any user to quickly understand how to use and operate the app.
- There so many more features in this app it's hard to list them all!
Download the App today to get ready for the new season!
We are dedicated to providing coaches, parents and youth organizations everywhere the tools that they need to succeed.
Check out our family of apps: Injury Report (Free), Practice Planner, Pitch Counter, Game Planner, and Tryout and Draft Management on the App Store. To learn more about Big Time Coach, visit our website at www.BigTimeCoach.com. We are constantly developing more tools for coaches and would love to hear from you on what you need as a coach.

Navigation Overhall
With feedback from our staff and quite a few users, we've made dramatic changes to the way you navigate and perform actions in Tryout and Draft Management.
Actions Replace the Task List
We admit that the old "Task List" was a real pain to use for navigation. As a result, we have removed the "Task List" and added an "Actions" button to aid in navigation. This does two things:
1) All the navigation is directly on each view. No need to bring up the old "Task List" to perform navigation functions.
2) Lists (draft sets, drafts, teams, players, etc) are now embedded in the view for better response and context.
Actions Consolidate Lower Navigation Bar
In many views there was a blue navigation bar at the bottom of the view. This view had many buttons for actions in the view context. The problem was that this navigation bar would get extremely crowded. The blue navigation bar also took up significant space at the bottom of the view. All of these functions have now been moved to the "Actions" list on each view.
Re-designed Import Function
While the old version worked fine, it was a but cumbersome to use. We've re-designed the views and process to flow better including an improved Template File which can be edited more easily and accurately.
New Player Slotting Function
For leagues that allow pre-selection or are using "titled" players (players who are retained on the same team year over year) - League Draft now allows you to "slot" players before the draft and have them automatically selected during the draft. Views are provided so that you may show coaches the slotted players by team, or by round.
This was a much requested feature that we've added for this release.
Bug Fixes and Updates
Of course no new release would be complete without a number of bug fixes and updates. We've done a number of things "under-the-hood" to make the app perform better and be more stable.
Reviews, Feedback, and Forums
If you love the app like our coaches do - please take a moment and do a review on iTunes. This will help us continue to make improvements and support everyone who is having success using Tryout and Draft Management.
If you have concerns, issues, or just want to reach out.. Don't hesitate to contact us via our website http://www.bigtimecoach.com.

1.2.5
Jan 19, 2017
Updates and Bug Fixes
- Per popular request, we've added colors for the teams in the draft. Select from 31 different color schemes and 'flip' the colors if you wish.
- Changes to the process for importing records to provide more feedback for each step including creation of templates, verification, and more. Now importing is much clearer and more robust.
With coaches input we've made changes that make work at evaluations just a little easier. Its through coaches feedback that the app continues to get better so please keep the feedback coming!
Updates
- Updated entry of Tryout / Evaluation data by moving from a scrolling wheel to a large data entry popup. With large numbers and much easier navigation you won't loose that number as the next player comes up to the station.
- Converted DropBox integration to API v2: This is a small impact, but you'll notice that the templates have moved to a common 'App' area in DropBox. This allows you to find and manage the templates and imports in a more straightforward manner.
- Enhanced template and import validation: While Tryout and Draft always had the ability to import data, the process was vague and not always accurate. Along with the convening to DropBox API v2, we've added validation functionality including:
o Checking all headers for completeness
o Validating all lines for completeness and data integrity
o Error feedback that displays all error lines and highlights columns that need attention.
- Minor Bug Fixes and enhancements for stability and speed.
- A few minor bug fixes and updates to improve speed and reliability.

-- iOS 9 Support --
Changes to support iOS 9 and provide a platform for the new features available.
-- iPad Pro Compatibility --
In preparation for the iPad Pro shipping, we've updated all of the interfaces to work with the new view sizes. If you're lucky enough to have one of the new iPad Pro's... League Draft will continue to work for you as before.
-- App Reviews --
Our goal is to make great apps for everyone who purchases them. If someone does not like the app, we ask them to give us feedback so that we may address the issues and make changes, but some users opt to leave feedback on iTunes without asking for help, and those ratings hurt our ability to enable coaches and reach players.
We ask that if you really hate the app, contact us so that we may help you or, simply ask Apple for a refund. They will grant it and you'll have no additional impact.
However, if - like many of our coaches - like or love the app... You can help ensure continued development and support for the app that you use by contributing a review on iTunes. It only takes a few minutes and you'll be helping other Coaches and Players by keeping Game Planner going.
As always, the BTC mantra is - Helping Players one Coach at a Time.
