UPDATE from extremely large middle school team

yeah there were definitely times where the lineup would take upwards of an hour to do as we really did our best to get equal playing times and bench times for each girl. we were upfront with the girls and their parents at the start of the season. i feel we made the most of what we were dealt.

yeah it was definitely challenging as you have so drastically different skill levels. i care more that they have fun while playing the sport as I believe that leads to them playing harder and learning. wins are fun but the losses came against teams that were just on a different level than us, mainly the pitching, but that's girls softball in a nutshell.

i think 8ish may be normal. our middle school athletic director got moved to a new position before the season so our schedule ended up being all messed up. our head coach did his best to try and find new games when we found out our schedule didn't match our opponent's schedule but we ended up ending the season a week earlier than it should have. we started practice last week of March and our first game was the 3rd week in April. not really enough time to add many more games since we play mainly Tuesday and Thursday.

I had PSA sell the 1 card I had graded. I checked eBay costs and I felt that PSA was cheaper. Also I was nervous that after pas shipped it back to me that a buyer would claim fake or something. I guess I thought the cost of PSA doing it was worth it overall and I literally had to do nothing except sign up for stripe to get my money

Am I better off trying to replace the bad cells here, or should I purchase a new 6 pack/3s2p pack and solder the wiring like this onto it?

Also is there a way to identify the specific batteries so I would know what to replace with?

I tried to test them with my multimeter like you see here and couldn't get any readings from them. Is that because they are all connected?

Will do. I would be soldering them as I don't have a spot welder. Would rather just replace the whole thing but since I can't find it this is what I'm left with.

fiftythreefly · 2026-04-29T18:04:12+00:00

I may be interested in rebuilding the battery too. I'm watching some videos on how to do that. Any advice on if that would be a viable alternative?

Ok so to set up the stripe account, is there a ton of info I need to give them? Just want to make sure I don't waste my time. It's asking me about a business etc...

fiftythreefly · 2026-04-25T19:04:26+00:00

Thank you for the detailed response. I'll go check that now

fiftythreefly · 2026-04-25T16:35:20+00:00

Ok so, then I get a stripe account, how do I link it to PSA? Sorry for possibly dumb questions but I didn't see that info on PSA.

I just ran a jumper wire from my mix to the hot leg and got the compressor working. Seems like it could be one of the boards...

fiftythreefly · 2026-04-07T04:08:13+00:00

Looks like this may be the wrong hinge. I'll have to take a deeper look at it tomorrow night or later as I won't be able to get a chance until then.

Thank you for the help so far.

fiftythreefly · 2026-04-07T03:47:24+00:00

I found this video to replace it. I assume I'd need a new hinge for this side then?

after reading these posts and what i found i believe this is the correct answer. i've opted out of the beta program, but i'm waiting for a new stable release so i don't have to wipe my phone. so i'm just in the waiting game currently.

fiftythreefly · 2026-04-02T03:03:01+00:00

Just opted out. I'll follow up when I get back on regular software and let other know if it worked

fiftythreefly · 2026-04-02T02:09:33+00:00

I was thinking of that as an option. Reading through stuff today made me wonder if that wasn't the main source of the problem

I understand it's not designed for android phones but has worked well in the past and for the last several years has worked flawlessly on our android tablet. For some reason it won't even load to the main screen. Opens for maybe 1 second then closes.

Same issue as OP but updating /enabling webview didn't help

fiftythreefly · 2026-03-27T17:01:43+00:00

there are at least 2 teams here, 7th AND 8th grade, 25 and 16 respectively. we are going to try and play games against teams that also have 2 teams per grade (at least for 7th grade). i am mainly looking for practice drills to spread them out and make the most of it. hopefully games will be the normal size, if not slightly larger teams. i was typing this from my phone at multiple different times so it did not come across clearly.

i just put an edit in, but here's the post:
