Open Dugout vs Relay Tracker

Open Dugout is the youth softball community app built for coaches, players, and families who are serious about finding the right fit — not just any team or roster spot. FOR COACHES Managing a competitive softball program means more than running practice. It means filling your roster before the season starts, finding a reliable pitcher for next weekend's tournament, and getting your tryouts visible to the right players. Post tryouts, clinics, camps, and tournaments with age group, location, and event details — and reach players who are actively looking. When you need a guest player fast, browse available athletes in your area and connect directly. Build and manage your roster inside the app, and message players and families without sharing your personal number. FOR PLAYERS AND FAMILIES Finding a competitive team — or the right guest play opportunity — shouldn't require posting in five Facebook groups and waiting to see who replies. Browse tryouts and events near you, filtered by age group and location. Express interest so coaches know you're coming. Complete your player profile and let coaches find you when a guest slot opens up. Message directly through the app — no personal contact info shared. WHAT YOU CAN DO Post and discover tryouts, tournaments, clinics, and camps Request or offer guest play opportunities Send direct connection requests between coaches and players Message through the app — no phone numbers required Manage your team roster with role-based tools Browse the trainer directory to find private instruction Find training facilities and organizations near you HOW IT WORKS Sign up as a coach or as a player/parent. Coaches get a full dashboard to manage events, browse available guest players, and handle roster connections. Players and parents get a feed of upcoming events and a discoverable profile that coaches can find. Everything is built around one goal: connecting the right player to the right team, at the right time. Open Dugout is free to download.

Relay Tracker helps relay teams know exactly when each runner will finish — and when Van 1 needs to hand off to Van 2 — with live tracking both vans and your fans can follow, plus a pace model that still works when the signal doesn't. Built for long-distance, multi-leg road relays, Relay Tracker turns each runner's 10k time into a leg-by-leg race plan and keeps it accurate all day as real splits come in. Pick your race and the app loads every leg's distance, elevation profile and weather forecast. Enter each runner's 10k time and Relay Tracker predicts every leg: pace, finish time, and a running race-clock ETA for the whole team. Predictions adapt to terrain, heat, and fatigue across a runner's 1st, 2nd and 3rd legs — and self-correct from each runner's actual splits. LIVE TEAM TRACKING • Create a team and share an invite code — both vans see each other's splits in real time, right after every exchange. • Fans can look your team up by nam-only. • Or stay fully offline: sync van-to-van by QR code, with nothing in the cloud. Cloud sync has an off switch. RACE DAY • Live runner timer with a clear one-tap "RUNNER IN" handoff. You're always in control — nothing auto-advances — and any logged split can be corrected later. • Optional alerts a few minutes before your runner is due at the next exchange — scheduled from the predicted clock, on your device. • Works when the signal drops — race data and forecasts download ahead of time. PLAN THE WHOLE RACE • Every leg's predicted split, plus your total finish window. • Course elevation profile and per-leg terrain — the hills ahead at a glance. • Flexible roster — as many or as fve. • Auto-assign leg assignments, or set them yourself. • Light and dark themes; big, glanceable numbers for tired crews in a moving van. No ads. No tracking. No account needed. Plan offline and nothing leaves your phone; in a team, Relay Tracker syncs your race data so everyone can follow along.
