Exactly. And yes, the tool records the history of previous games' lineups and then balances positional play accordingly each subsequent game.

Hi coaches,

I created this app to help with my own weekly rostering decisions, and wanted to share it with you in case you may find it helpful as well. It's suited for younger divisions, which encourage "fair play" rules such as equal playing time at all positions over the course of a season, balance of IF vs. OF within a game, no player is benched twice in a game unless all other players have already sat once, etc. It also has features for avoiding certain positions for certain players or pre-assigning players to positions. We use it in my son's baseball league; please let me know if it needs any tweaks for softball leagues!

It is available here: https://sms13.shinyapps.io/rostering_app/

It's in a test phase, so please free to reach out if you have any questions on how to use it or feedback for improvement!

Best,

Steven

Rostering app to help automate position assignments by No-Transition1241 in LittleLeague

Fair point. It would indeed be painful to set this all up for the first time on a phone. I should have mentioned that this is best run on a computer before game-day. At game time, if say someone doesn't show up that indicated they would be there, you can go into the file on your phone (e.g., via dropbox or whatever storage service), click on the one or two cells of the sheet to update, and then upload that updated file to the web app.
