Know your team's playoff odds — and exactly what it takes to get there.
First Base pulls live standings from Hot Stove, East Coast, and Tourney Machine, runs 10,000 Monte Carlo simulations, and tells you where every team stands across seasons and tournaments. Not just the raw standings — the real picture: who's in, who's on the bubble, and what needs to happen Saturday.
GAME DAY — WHEN DO WE HAVE TO LEAVE?
The first tab answers the Saturday-morning question. Every kid's games across every event you follow, in one agenda, with:
• Rain risk for each game, taken from the forecast at the field — not at your house
• "Leave 7:49 AM" departure times that account for the traffic expected around the time you want to arrive
• A slider on each game for how early you want to be there — at first pitch, or 90 minutes ahead for warmups
• Games up to six days out, because you plan a Saturday on the Sunday before
Rain risk is a forecast, never a cancellation — no league publishes those anywhere a phone can read, so when it looks bad the app tells you to watch for the call.
GROUP EVENTS BY KID
Add your players and the Events tab groups itself by child instead of by event. Two kids across three tournaments finally reads the way you already think about it.
FOLLOW A TOURNAMENT BEFORE IT EXISTS
Pin next month's tournament before the schedule or teams are posted. First Base watches for you and sends one notification the moment details land — then you link your team when it finally shows up. Free, and it doesn't use up your event.
WHAT YOU SEE
• Live standings for every team in your event
• Playoff odds for every team — recomputed on every refresh
• "What needs to happen" — the specific win/loss scenario that clinches or eliminates
• Full schedule with past results and upcoming matchups, grouped by day
• Your team's complete game timeline, past and future
• Playoff bracket with results as games land — plus posted playoff times and fields before the bracket is drawn
• Gold/Silver/Bronze bracket odds for tournaments that split the field into multiple championships
• Color commentary — pick a booth voice that reacts to your team's actual situation
• Per-event notifications for schedule changes, field updates, and other team scores
TIEBREAKERS DONE RIGHT
The odds engine implements the real rules exactly: runs allowed (not run differential), head-to-head, recursive multi-team resolution, and coin toss as the final fallback.
NOTIFICATIONS (FIRST BASE PLUS)
Know when the schedule is posted, when a game changes field or time, and when other teams finish games. Field and time alerts can cover the whole event or just your team's games.
CALENDAR SYNC (FIRST BASE PLUS)
First Base maintains a dedicated "First Base" calendar with your team's games — dates, times, and fields — and keeps it current as the schedule changes. Or do a one-time export to any calendar you choose.
FREE OR FIRST BASE PLUS
Free: one pinned event, full standings and schedule, your team's playoff %, unlimited pull-to-refresh.
First Base Plus: every-team odds depth, "what needs to happen" scenarios, per-event notifications, calendar sync, background auto-refresh, multiple teams and events, archive browsing, and more.
HONEST ABOUT WHAT IT IS
Odds are projections from a simulation. Only mathematically certain outcomes are labeled "Clinched" or "Eliminated" — everything else is clearly a projection, with the iteration count shown. Pull-to-refresh is always unlimited and always current.
NO ACCOUNT. NO SERVER. NO FUSS.
Everything lives on your device. Zero sign-up. No personal data shared. Completed events are archived locally forever, even if the source drops the old page.
Location is optional, used only while the app is open to work out a drive time. It never leaves your device and is never tracked in the background — decline it and everything but departure times still works, rain risk included.
