For several years, WisSports.net has offered baseball and softball coaches direct integration with the live-scoring app iScore, but we frequently received requests to expand to other live scoring tools, specifically GameChanger.
Today we are very happy to announce that WisSports.net and the Sports Engine platform that powers our site now offers direct integration with GameChanger for baseball and softball, making it easier than ever for coaches to sync data to WSN.
It is important that the proper steps are followed to make this integration work. Once you are setup at the start of the year however, the process is extremely easy and does not require any additional work from you.
We've added a training video on setting up the WSN/GameChanger integration as well. Check it out here.
It is very important to note that you must have an account on WisSports.net, and that account must have access to update your team information. If you do not have an account or do not have access, please contact us as soon as possible to get the appropriate permissions on your team page by emailing info@wissports.net. Be sure to include your name, your team, and the sport you coach.
Please note, even if you have had access to your team previously, we may have to make a small update to your account in our system in order to get access to the Team Center mentioned below. You can contact us at info@wissports.net, and as mentioned above, be sure to include your name, your team, and the sport you coach.
Once you have access to your team, update your roster and schedule on WisSports.net. A bit later in the process, this is the information that will be pulled into GameChanger.
A new feature of the WSN system is Team Center. As mentioned above, you may need to contact us to get access to this area. Once you have access, you will see a yellow tab for "Manage Team" on your team page of WSN while in Edit Mode.
After you access Team Center on WSN, you will be able to click on the new "Integrations" button of the Team Center page. You will be prompted to enter your current GameChanger username and password (or create a new one if you don't have one). Once authenticated, your WSN roster and schedule will automatically be entered into GameChanger.
Please note that when you do this, it will create a new team in GameChanger. At this time, the system will not sync with an existing team you may have setup in GameChanger already.
Now that the integration of WSN and GameChanger is setup, you'll need to download the GameChanger app for your iPhone or iPad (Android version is not available currently). The app is free for coaches, so be sure to download it if you haven't already.
Now that you've synced your WisSports.net team to GameChanger, your roster and schedule have been synced to GameChanger and you're ready to live-score games. Follow the instructions within the GameChanger app to live-score games. Once you finalize the game in GameChanger, your score and stats will automatically sync to WisSports.net. Voila!
