## What is Tryout and Draft Management?

At Big Time Coach, we use our apps for each-and-every Game, Practice, Tryout, and Draft that we participate in. Our apps are continually used and refined to put the tools we've come to rely on in your hands.

Big Time Coach Baseball Tryout  and Draft Management brings you over 30 years of baseball evaluation insights and baseball draft strategy right to your iPad.

We have developed another easy to use tool for Baseball Coaches looking to assemble the best players for their team.

### 5/5 — Worth it.

*2016-02-22*

I found this app easy to use and very helpful. 
During my draft this year the other coaches struggled with multiple papers I was able to keep up just using the app on my iPad. Like the other review mentioned just take a few minutes before your draft to play with it. 
All in all very useful.

### 5/5 — Easy to use

*2016-02-19*

It looks like they have done an update and the issue with rotating the iPad and loosing the player you were on is gone.  Give the App a try, just spend 10-20mins at home before tryouts getting to know it and it will save you time in the long run. 
I downloaded this App the morning before our Little League tryouts and used it that morning on my iPad.  It took me about 10mins at home to get used to how to get around the app after reading the very simple instructions.  I then used it at the tryouts and after about 10 players I had it down and was able to use the app with No Problem.  The thing I like the best is when I came home within about 15 more minutes of work; I had rated the 87 players that I saw that day at tryouts.  This App really made rating and ranking the players this year easy.  Much easier than using paper and pencil as I have for the last few years.    I would highly recommend this App, it will save you lots of time.  One drawback, sometime when I would move the iPad the App would put me on a different screen, and once I put the iPad horizontal again, I would have to scroll and find the player I was rating.  Not a big issue, but something you need to look out for.

### 1/5 — Not worth it at all

*2015-07-26*

I was hopeful that this would eliminate the need for a clipboard, but it doesn't even come close.  $5.99 is outrageous for what you get with this app.

**Developer response:** At BTC, our goal is to create great products for coaches and ensure they work properly. Your experience is different that what we usually hear so we would be very interested in understanding why the product did not work for you so that we may make changes to the areas you felt were lacking. You can contact us through our website, or our forum. Thank you.

### 1/5 — Terrible

*2015-05-29*

Awful for so many reason. Don't waste your money. A piece of paper works better than this app.

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 1.7.0 — 2021-12-14

Updates for iOS 15

### 1.6.0 — 2020-02-11

Based on feedback from our coaches, we have added a new way to display player lists in the evaluation view.

You may now select 'ABC' in that view to display players by last name + first name, and select a group of players based on first letter of their last name.

This makes it easier for coaches in leagues where a list of players is distributed before the tryout and imported to the app. Of course player groups are still supported for those who prefer that option.

We hope you enjoy the changes!
