A Fresh New Look

BagTrax got a head-to-toe refresh. Cleaner cards, more breathing room, friendlier empty screens, and a consistent look across the whole app — your dashboard, lobby, tournaments, leagues, and settings.

Redesigned Game Screen

The scoring screen is rebuilt from the ground up, especially on your phone:

  • The board now fits your screen — no more pinching or scrolling while you score.
  • The controls sit within easy reach of one thumb.
  • The rest of the app gets out of the way during a game so you can focus on the round.

Invite Anyone By Email

You no longer need someone to already have an account to play with them.

  • Game lobbies and friendly tournaments now let you invite people by email.
  • They get an email, and once they sign up they're dropped right into your game or bracket — no extra steps.

Tournament Share Links & QR Codes

Every tournament now has a share link and a QR code. Anyone who opens the link or scans the code joins automatically — the easy way to get a crowd into a bracket.

Best-Of Series For Casual Games

Best-of series isn't just for tournaments anymore. Any regular game can be played as a best-of series, and you can hit rematch to keep it going — the running score carries from game to game.

Smarter Tournament Setup

  • A new tournament style that mixes up partners and opponents for more balanced, varied matchups.
  • Set how many games each player gets, and BagTrax builds the schedule for you — it even shows how many rounds that will take as you adjust.
  • Start a tournament straight from your league standings with one button — it seeds the bracket from your current rankings.

Leagues & Leaderboards

  • Filter your stats by time — see how you've done this week, this month, or any stretch, instead of just all-time.
  • The leaderboard now tells you exactly how many more games you need to qualify.
  • League owners can set a minimum number of games before a player shows up in the standings.
  • You can now invite players to your league by email, too.

Faster Everywhere

The app feels noticeably quicker — screens load sooner, games open faster, and live scores stay connected when you switch back to BagTrax or your phone wakes up.

Fixes & Polish

  • Fixed an issue that could slow down or freeze the scoreboard during long sessions.
  • Fixed tournament brackets with odd numbers of teams.
  • The top menu now comes back properly when you leave a tournament game.
  • Live scores no longer flicker or jump around.
  • Plus a long list of smaller fixes throughout the app.
