Play Now

New players can jump straight into a real scoring screen from the home page.

Tap Play Now and BagTrax creates a ready-to-score game with guest players already filled in. No account needed just to try the app.

Better Live Lobbies

Game lobbies stay in sync more reliably when people join, leave, swap spots, or start the game.

  • You will see when the lobby is catching up.
  • Buttons pause while a change is already in progress, so duplicate taps are less likely to cause confusion.
  • Everyone in the lobby should land in the game when it starts.

Courts For Tournament Matches

Tournament organizers can now assign courts right from the match cards.

  • Set a court for matches that are ready now.
  • Plan courts for future matches before the teams are known.
  • Change or clear a court without leaving the bracket.
  • Players and scoreboards show the court more clearly once a match is assigned.

A Cleaner League Setup

League management has its own settings page now, so the main league page can stay focused on standings, recent games, and what is happening in the league.

League settings now give owners and commissioners one place to manage invites, join requests, rosters, tournaments, league details, and league-game rules.

Co-Commissioners

League owners can now promote trusted members to help run the league.

Co-commissioners can help with everyday league work like settings, invites, join requests, roster cleanup, tournaments, and approving league games. Owner-only actions still stay with the owner.

Commissioner-Only League Games

Some leagues only want approved games to count. League owners can now turn on a setting where only the owner or a co-commissioner can mark a lobby as a league game.

The lobby makes this clearer too: league game assignment is now a dropdown with an obvious No league game option, and restricted leagues are shown in a way that explains who can use them.

League Commissioner Dashboard

Commissioners get a live dashboard for running league night.

  • See open lobbies that are ready to be approved as league games.
  • Approve a lobby from the dashboard.
  • Keep an eye on active league games and current scores.
  • Approved lobbies stay visible while everyone gets ready to start.

Easier Player Search And Invites

Player search is more consistent across game lobbies, tournaments, and leagues.

Search for a BagTrax player first. If they are not there yet, invite them by email from the same spot.

Scoring Polish

  • Simple scoring now shows the current bag counts before the round history, so the current round is easier to read.
  • Advanced scoring lets you tap a selected score again to clear it.
  • The scoring screen keeps its controls and icons working after live page updates.

Fixes & Polish

  • League invite links and redirects are more reliable.
  • Free players can join leagues correctly.
  • League dashboards refresh when lobbies are approved, started, reset, or deleted.
  • Tournament start now happens from the tournament detail page.
  • App icons, store screenshots, and brand artwork got another round of cleanup.
  • Plus more small fixes throughout lobbies, tournaments, leagues, and scoring.
