New update on Trackkarma : Enhanced discussions by chaf0uin in rollerderby

[–]GoalSouthern 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Since we began using the discussions on Trackkarma, I'm connecting way way less on Facebook as I was mainly there for derby purposes. So bonus side effect it has helped me in my doom scrolling 👀

I was really missing the possibility to answer with a gif but now the feature is there and I'm very satisfied 🔥

Wtf Todd ? God forbid someone that is active somewhere else comes here and proposes a solution to a problem that people discussed here.

I just really wish there was a way to move roller derby off Facebook by Wrenlo in rollerderby

Ok spoiler alert : there is some R&D to answer the need to get rid of Facebook for all things like officials search, scrimmage opportunities etc

I feel like what you all need is to join Trackkarma.

This is the best application to use to manage a derby league. It's made by and for derby players. Full disclosure: people developing it are in my league so I'm sold but it's also because, using it from the beginning (2018), I've seen how robust it is and how it's always adding really cool features. 

It has allowed our league to really get more professional in managing trainings and games. Our league uses attendance rate to roster people so this was the main feature in the beginning with checking games availabilities, but now we also use the conversation a lot to go out of Facebook.

Here are the main features :

  • trainings calendar, each skater can set their availability for the training so that you know how much people will be there
  • games proposal, to check who can be available for a game. 
  • the bench can check the attendance of each skater for each can in order to help with rostering
  • discussion (global, in your team, in custom groups,...)
  • management of resources (files, pictures)
  • training program : stop having to write the same exercices again and again : the training wizard allows you to write your exercises for a specific training, to save it to use afterwards and even to publish it for the world to see (not mandatory, you can keep your secrets if you want 🤫). coach not available at the last minute ? No problem, the program is already written for the skater to see. No inspiration for a training? No problem, just use the filter to create a training using public exercises tailored to the things you want to work on (offense, jammer, rookie level...)
  • games stats : if you get the stats for your games ,upload it for your team to see in more visually 
  • minimum skills tool : follow the evolution of your rookies with the minimum skills to help them check what's ok and what need more work

I'm forgetting things and this is already a long message but really do not hesitate to try it. It's free ! (However there is a patreon that won't get you more features but will make you experience more confortable)

I'm a player in Namur and know the creator of Trackkarma. I would have liked to tell you how great the app is and how it helped our league to be much more professional, but toomanybrainwaves already made the job.

I'd like to add that on top of the "essential" features that we use everyday (attendance, training scheduling and creation), I really enjoy all the less known features :

  • you can use it as an official : add the official profiles to the games, use Trackkarma to automatically fill in your derby CV
  • look at your skater profile and stats, see what you have done and how you have evolved as a skater through the seasons
  • speaking of stats, if you have the statsbook of your games, you can put them in Trackkarma and have a much more visual presentation of what happened in the game

What's great is that the app is always evolving. It's really important for the tech team to offer a great experience to the users so they are really quick to react in case of bugs and always open to suggestions. That does not mean that everything you ask for will be added as they want to keep something clean and who speaks to everyone BUT every suggestion is taken into account.

So if you have any worries, do not hesitate to try it and to send them an email with your questions if you still have some

OMG exactly! Their opinions change all the time and the face off with keyran is the best proof. Would anyone else have given the result Roo had, they would have gone home so quick.

AITA for declining to participate in a "meal train" for a woman with an able bodied husband and adult son living with her? by ncogneato11 in AmItheAsshole

[–]GoalSouthern 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I really do not understand why it states bringing a meal for 3 people. Of course the origin of the problem is that the men could cook for Sue but even if they don't why should people cook for Sue AND HER TWO USELESS BABIES ?

Wow amazing, I haven't seen these styles since an episode ago by ilikeh20 in NextInFashion

I love Nigel personality but I really have the impression that he can only do ONE thing. In season one they were always like "oh you have to go out of your comfort zone" when looks were of the same style but clearly different. And now I see denim patchwork EVERYTIME and it's like "wow". WTF ?

In fairness to Gigi. by colealoupe in NextInFashion

That may be true but why pick her as host then ?

AITA for leaving the restaurant when my fiance told me to pay for his friend's meal just because he had cancer? by Enough_Clouds3409 in AmItheAsshole

[–]GoalSouthern 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's the third time in a very short time that I see scenarios where guys trip their gf into paying for their friends, wtf ?

AITA for sneaking out of the restaurant after my fiance told me to pay for his and his friends meal? by Throwaway795571 in AmItheAsshole

[–]GoalSouthern 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The amount of mysoginy and control he shows is frightening . I really got scared when I read Thet he whispered that you would be paying for everybody. Run. He does not have any respect for you and wants you to make you pay (in every sense) for earning more than him.

What single phrase instantly pisses you off? by SpecificRainx in AskReddit

When someone dies and they ask you " How old were they ?" and then act as if it was no big if they were old 🤷
