## What is Lineupper Basketball?

Coaching youth basketball means juggling a dozen things at once — and
making sure every kid gets fair playing time shouldn't be the hardest
part of your night. Lineupper does the rotation math for you, so you can
focus on coaching.

**Fair, automatic rotations**
Enter your roster with each player's primary position and your rating of
their skill level. Lineupper builds a complete 8-period lineup that
splits playing time as evenly as possible, respects position coverage
(a real point guard, a real center, every period), and avoids putting
the same kid on the bench two periods running.

**Built for real games, not just planning**
Mark players absent before the game in one tap. If someone's hurt for a
period — or out for the rest of the game — mark it and Lineupper
adjusts the lineup around them without disturbing anyone else's
schedule.

**Coach's final say, always**
Don't like a matchup? Drag any player directly onto any slot to
override it by hand. The algorithm's suggestions are a starting point,
never a lock.

**Track what matters**
Log the score after each period and Lineupper calculates plus/minus for
every player automatically — both for the game in progress and
aggregated across your whole season.

**Smart enough for uneven rosters**
Only have one true point guard? Lineupper won't just play that kid
every single period — it intelligently shares the load with your next
most capable ball-handler, so nobody gets overworked just because of
their listed position.

### 4/5 — Time saver!

*2019-08-03*

Glad you created this app! Saves lots of time figuring out equal playing time. Thank you!

Suggestions:
- Be able to export the lineups in an Excel or Google spreadsheet. 

- Have the ability to assign positions per player prior to equally distributing players out. For example, player1 can play positions 1,2, or 3. Player 2 will play either 4or 5.

### 5/5 — Knicks rule!

*2019-01-21*

As long as 5 players show up I’m okay because I can use the app to set the lineup in a minute or two. No need to send multiple emails chasing parents and players to see if they are coming to the game.

### 5/5 — Helpful

*2018-12-26*

Has given me a peace of mind knowing all my boys are getting equal time. Very simple to use. Hope new features are added soon, though.

### 3/5 — Close to useful

*2018-12-15*

My first grade boys play 4 on 4. I wish this could be modified to allow for 4 persons/period.

### 5/5 — Lineuper

*2018-05-21*

Loved how simple it was to use ... it saved me allot of prep time and a few headaches as I was able to change my lineup on the fly
