Question 1

What is SeasonPilot for travel and select sports coaches?

Accepted Answer

SeasonPilot is a season operations workspace for travel and select coaches. It brings tryout registration, evaluator scoring, roster decisions, depth-chart planning, and parent communication into one place so coaches can spend less time stitching together spreadsheets, forms, and email threads.

Question 2

How does SeasonPilot’s browser-based mobile companion work?

Accepted Answer

There is no app to install. Coaches and evaluators open the SeasonPilot workspace in a phone browser, sign in, and use a phone-friendly view to review assigned tryouts, score athletes, and add notes from the field. The same records stay available in the main workspace for follow-up after the session.

Question 3

How does SeasonPilot handle tryout scoring?

Accepted Answer

Create a tryout session, invite or assign evaluators, and use scoring sheets with notes for each athlete. Scores and observations stay together in one record, making it easier to compare evaluations and carry the right context into roster decisions.

Question 4

How does SeasonPilot help with the roster decision after tryouts?

Accepted Answer

SeasonPilot gives coaches a clean handoff from evaluation to roster work: review scores and notes, resolve duplicate registrations, record roster status, and use roster or depth-chart views to shape the team. Coaches still make the decision; SeasonPilot keeps the evidence and next steps organized.

Question 5

How do parent updates work in SeasonPilot?

Accepted Answer

Compose parent updates and scope them to the right team, roster, season, or athlete. SeasonPilot keeps an audited message log so coaches have a clear record of what was sent and to whom, with guardian consent status available when choosing the audience.

Question 6

What does the SeasonPilot private pilot cover?

Accepted Answer

The private pilot is for a small group of travel and select programs that want to shape a calmer season workflow with us. Pilot teams can put tryout scoring, roster decisions, the browser-based evaluator experience, and parent updates through their real process, then share feedback before broader availability.

Question 7

How are organizations selected for the private pilot?

Accepted Answer

We look for travel and select organizations with an active tryout or roster workflow, a focused use case for the pilot, and staff who can test the workflow and share direct feedback with us.

Question 8

When should applicants expect an invitation decision?

Accepted Answer

Applications are reviewed as they come in, and selected organizations are contacted directly when the timing and workflow are a match. Submitting an application starts a review; it is not an acceptance notice or a guaranteed invitation.

Question 9

What organization or workspace access do selected teams receive?

Accepted Answer

Selected teams receive a guided private workspace connected to their organization, with onboarding around the workflow they want to test. This access is invite-only and does not make private team or athlete records public.

Question 10

What can evaluators and coaches do in the pilot?

Accepted Answer

Evaluators use assigned scoring and tryout work to record observations and notes. Coaches use roster and tryout workflows to review the evidence and shape team decisions. An invitee may hold both evaluator and coach roles when that matches the organization’s workflow.

Question 11

Does the organization get a shareable public URL?

Accepted Answer

The private pilot workspace is not a shareable public URL and does not expose private records. SeasonPilot also has a separate public organization route at `/orgs/[orgId]` for public organization details and eligible open tryouts; that public page is distinct from the invite-only workspace.
