Changelog

On a phone the standings table was cut after G / W / L, so the column that actually orders the table, P (classification points), was off-screen. Phones now show # / Team / G / W / L / P / +/- without scrolling. An All columns button under the table brings back %, PTS, OPTS, PPG, OPPG and Streak when you want them.

The game log on the player page scrolls sideways on phones, but nothing said so and the first columns scrolled away with the rest. Date and Opponent now stay pinned while the stat columns scroll, and a short “Swipe for more →” cue fades after the first swipe.

On every screen size the log now ends with a Total row (sums, shooting splits and percentages for the games listed) and an Avg row (per-game averages), so the season line is visible without opening another card.

On phones the orange Fan sign-in pill was the most prominent element in the header on every page, although most visitors never sign in. It now lives at the bottom of the hamburger drawer (together with the Coach portal link where that is enabled); the header keeps the league logo, the language switcher and the menu button. Signed-in fans still see their avatar in the bar. Desktop is unchanged.

A finished game with a YouTube link opened on a full-width video, pushing the score breakdown and “How it was won” below the first screen on desktop. The video now sits in a narrower Watch the replay card after the recap, box score or play-by-play. Live and upcoming games keep the stream at the top, where it belongs.

The button on the player page read “Compare”, which did not say what would happen. It now reads Compare with… (also in Russian and Armenian), and the compare page it opens, with that player already filled in, puts the cursor on the second player dropdown so the next step is one tap away.

Rows on the public Calendar showed the league’s name (for example the first season’s title) under every game, even when the game belonged to a newer season or another division. Each row now shows the championship the game is actually scheduled in.

Players without a photo used to share the same initials circle, which made namesakes on different teams hard to tell apart. The list now shows the player’s team crest when there is no photo, on desktop and on phones; initials appear only when the team has no logo either.

The Season Averages and Game Log cards now say which season they describe. A player who has played in more than one season or division gets a season selector next to the header; picking a season reloads the averages and filters the game log, and the choice is kept in the page address so it can be shared.

The page opens on the season of the player’s most recent game.

PIR, true shooting and effective field goal percentage were spread across the card with an empty middle on wide screens. They now sit in three equal tiles matching the points / rebounds / assists row above, with PIR highlighted. The per-36-minutes breakdown stays folded below.

Amateur leagues rarely have player photos. Wherever a player picture appears on the public site, the same fallback now applies: photo → team crest → initials. The crest sits on a dark pad tinted with the team colour where it is known.

• Applied to the Players list, the Leaders page, the Awards page, Compare, the player page header and the playoff series top performer.
• The team page roster keeps initials on purpose: one crest repeated on every row would say nothing.

The #1 card on each leaderboard now shows the team crest when the player has no photo instead of a large initials box. Rows 2–10 are whole-row links with a chevron, so on a phone it is clear they can be tapped; each opens the player’s page.

The box-score PDF link used to sit on the Recap / Box score / Play-by-play tab row as if it were a fourth tab. It is now a small button in the top-right corner of the game header, next to the status badge (“PDF” on phones). It is not shown for forfeits, which have no box score.

On phones the cookie notice is now one short line with a link to the Cookie Policy and two equal-weight buttons (Necessary only / Accept all). It takes about a tenth of the screen instead of a fifth. The desktop banner is unchanged.

The championship page already showed “2026-2027 · Active”; visitors landing on the home page had no such cue. A pill now sits directly under the hero with the season name and status, one per running season (or the most recent season when nothing is running). It links to the championship page.

On the 1st of the month, every championship that played finished games in the previous month gets an unpublished news draft naming the month’s player. Fans see nothing until an admin adds a photo and publishes it.

• The pick is the highest FIBA efficiency (PIR) per game, the same figure as the Leaders page, among players with at least half as many games as the busiest player that month. Ties go to total efficiency, then points per game.
• The draft has the averages, the shooting splits, PIR, true shooting and effective field goal percentage, the best night with opponent and date, and a short story in which every sentence comes from the numbers. Openers and closers vary month to month.
• Runs hourly; the draft appears between 09:00 and 10:00 in the championship’s time zone, and waits if a game from that month is still live. Each championship and month is generated once; a deleted draft is not re-created.
• Leagues with several divisions get one draft per division. The demo league and suspended leagues are skipped. How it works: Player of the Month.

Publishing a Player of the Month post creates a Player of the Month award for that championship and month. Unpublishing or deleting the post removes it.

• The public Awards page now also lists a running championship once it has an award, and shows a Player of the Month section under the season awards: month, player with photo, team, a one-line stat summary, and a Read the story link to the post.
• The same award appears on the championship’s Awards tab. Month labels follow the visitor’s language (English, Armenian, Russian).
• Monthly awards can be edited or deleted in admin → Awards like any other award. Publishing the post again rewrites the award from the post.

A landscape cover image was cropped into a tall portrait box on phones; it now keeps its own aspect ratio. Embedded YouTube videos, which rendered at the browser’s default 300×150 size, now fill the article width at 16:9 on desktop and mobile.

Live games now have a third scoring screen, marked Court mobile. It is built for a thumb: a large clock, the five shirt numbers on the floor, and a court you tap to mark a 2 or a 3. Classic scoring and the laptop court screen are separate pages and were not changed.

• Games → Court mobile on a live game. The address is /admin/games-mobile/…/live.
• The clock button reads Start, Pause, or Resume. Team fouls and timeouts sit under each score.
• Tap the court, then the shooter. The same action menu used on the laptop court screen opens from there. The bench, the play-by-play, team turnovers, and multi-player swaps open as sheets.
• Turn the tablet sideways and the two fives move to the sides of the court. Walkthrough with screenshots from the demo league: score from a phone or tablet.

Each league now chooses FIBA or NBA game rules. Before a scheduled game starts, the scorer names the players on that game’s scoresheet: up to 12 per team under FIBA, up to 15 per team under NBA. Leagues that have not chosen stay on FIBA.

• Admin → Championships → Game rules. The choice is for the whole league, every season and division.
• Games → Start opens the list. Tick 5 to 12 (FIBA) or 5 to 15 (NBA) players on each side. Squads already within the cap are ticked for you. A larger squad starts unticked so you choose who is dressed.
• Only the ticked players get a line on the box score. The season roster is unchanged. The starting five is still named in live scoring, after the game is live, and the clock still waits for five per side.
• How it works, including players you leave off: dress 12 or 15 players before tip-off.

League admins can connect an Instagram professional account (Business or Creator) and post a news cover to the feed when they publish an article. Guide: Instagram auto-post for basketball league news.

• Branding → Instagram → Connect Instagram. The league signs in with Instagram (no Facebook Page). Until Meta reviews the app, only listed testers can connect.
• News editor: when Instagram is connected and you publish for the first time, Also post to Instagram is on. Uncheck to skip. A cover image is required; saving the article still works without one.
• The caption is the English title, excerpt, and article URL (Instagram does not make that URL clickable). Later edits do not post again.
• An Instagram error never blocks saving the article. The news modal and Branding show the last failure.

Live scoring now tags a made field goal as a fast break the same way FIBA LiveStats / Genius does: the operator decides, the software does not guess from the clock.

• After a made 2PT, 3PT, or tip-in, an FB toggle sits on the shot-type and assist steps (classic and court). Off by default. Turn it on when the basket was a break.
• The play-by-play line appends (FB) after the shot type. Edit Event has the same Fast break checkbox if you missed it live.
• Finished-game PDF Fast Break Points and Fast Break Points from Turnovers follow the flag. Games scored before this release still use the 8-second fallback after a steal, turnover, or defensive rebound.
• How to mark it, and how the extra sheet is calculated: fast break points and team turnovers.

Court scoring now has a team-level TEAM TO next to each roster, matching classic live scoring. Pick the team, then the reason. No player is charged.

• Reasons: shot clock, 8-second, 5-second, 3-second, backcourt, or a generic team turnover.
• The play-by-play and box-score team-turnover line name the reason. Edit Event uses the same team-only type list.
• A team turnover starts the opponent possession for Points from Turnovers and Fast Break Points from Turnovers on the extra-stat PDF.

The official PDF now prints the Genius extra-stat sheet under both box scores: Points from Turnovers, Points in the Paint, Second Chance, Fast Break, Fast Break from Turnovers, Bench Points, Biggest Lead, Biggest Scoring Run, Points per Possession, Lead Changes, Times Tied, and Time to Lead.

• Paint uses shot coordinates (rim + lane) when they exist, otherwise the shot type (layup, dunk, hook, tip-in, putback, floater). Threes never count.
• Possessions use the Oliver count so PPP matches the sheet statisticians already know.
• PDFs are generated on download, so every finished game already includes the new tables. Long player names no longer wrap onto the next row.

The first YouTube Live release used one reusable OBS key for the whole league. A brief encoder drop then completed that broadcast, and the next Start in OBS opened a new YouTube live — or the next bound fixture — while the game page still embedded the old watch URL.

• Each scheduled game now has its own non-reusable RTMP stream, bound only to that Home vs Away event.
• Copy the server URL and stream key from the game form, Games → Stream key, or the button on live scoring (classic and court). Branding no longer shows a shared league key.
• Reconnect with that fixture’s key and YouTube stays on the same watch URL. End the stream in YouTube Studio when the game is over — we do not auto-stop on a Wi-Fi blip.
• Creating, editing, and deleting a scheduled game still create / update / cancel the YouTube event. Pasting your own watch link still skips auto-create.
• Why the shared key failed for sports leagues: unique YouTube stream key per game.

League admins can sign in with Google and attach the championship YouTube channel. One OAuth app covers the whole platform; each league connects its own channel.

• Branding → YouTube Live → Connect YouTube. Google asks for YouTube access (test users only until the app is verified). The channel must have live streaming enabled in YouTube Studio.
• Creating a scheduled game (or a playoff fixture, or a generated schedule) creates a YouTube event titled Home vs Away and fills the game’s watch link. Paste your own link to skip auto-create.
• This first release used one reusable RTMP stream for the league. That shared-key model was replaced in v2026.09.13 — copy the key from each game, not from Branding.
• Editing a scheduled game updates the YouTube title and start time. Deleting or replacing a scheduled game cancels that event.
• Live and finished broadcasts stay on YouTube if you archive the game. A YouTube error never blocks saving or trashing a game.

A second Browser Source sits next to the live scoreboard and shows the same team-vs-team bars and top performances as the public game page, updating while the game is live.

• URL: `/overlay/games/:id/recap`. Add it in OBS as a 1920×1080 Browser Source with transparency on. 15–30 fps is enough — it only redraws when the box score changes.
• Same orange / blue comparison bars and the same numbers as Recap on the game page (FG%, 3P%, FT%, REB, AST, STL, TO, plus the leading lines).
• Live and finished games both get a Recap tab on the public game page. “How it was won” still waits until the final.
• Admin Games has **Copy recap**. Branding → Overlay Designer has the Recap Browser Source URL for the selected game.

The MIN column used to stay at 0:00 until the buzzer. On-court time is now built from substitutions and the running clock, the same way the finished box is rebuilt.

• Public box score shows `M:SS` for every player during the game. Starters accumulate from tip-off; the bench stays 0:00 until they check in.
• Admin live scoring, play-by-play edit, and game stats use the same clock so the scorer sees the same minutes as the fans.
• Finished games still use the stored replay minutes — nothing changes after the final.

A club that played last year and is signing up again no longer shares one forever list. Each season has its own squad, so dropping someone from next year does not take them off last year’s games.

• New Season rosters screen in the admin sidebar. Pick a team and a season, then edit that squad only.
• Roll last season over, tick who is returning, keep or reset shirt numbers, then drop whoever is not coming back.
• Jersey number, position and status (active / injured / released) are per season. Published box scores keep the number worn that night.
• Remove from a season leaves the player in the league. Delete on the Players screen is still a full delete.
• Championships has an “Allow multiple teams per season” switch for a child playing up an age group (U11 and U13 in the same year). Off means the roster editor refuses a second team in that season and names the clash.

The public roster used to list everyone ever attached to the club, which mixed last year’s leavers into this year’s page.

• A team page now shows the current season: an active one if there is one, otherwise the nearest upcoming, otherwise the most recent completed.
• Jersey numbers and positions on that page are this season’s. Last year’s box scores are unchanged.
• A player who is not signed up for the current season no longer appears on the public roster. An empty upcoming season shows empty, not last year’s list.
• The player profile still shows one team and one number — the current season’s — next to career stats that already span every year they played.

The coach roster screen is where next year’s squad actually gets built. When a team is in more than one season, a Season dropdown appears so add, edit and remove apply to the season on screen.

• Opens on the current season (same default as the public team page).
• Remove from a season keeps the player in the league and leaves earlier seasons alone.
• A team with only one season looks the same as before — no extra picker.

Made baskets can now celebrate the scorer on the OBS Browser Source overlay — a short pop above that team’s side of the bar, without touching the scoreboard itself.

• Home scores pop on the left; away scores pop on the right, just above the bar.
• Three styles: Comic burst, Squish ball, and Sticker slap. Pick one in Branding → Streaming overlay.
• Choose which shots pop: 1-point, 2-point and/or 3-point (all on by default).
• Colours are editable (fill, outline, accent for comic; separate 1 / 2 / 3 colours for squish and sticker). Leave a colour empty to use the built-in palette; Default resets it.
• Rapid scores stack (up to four) so a fast break does not hide the previous pop.
• Opt-in and Browser Source only. It does not appear on the polled URL/API source. Turn on Score pop, save, then hard-refresh the OBS Browser Source.

Logging a substitution in live scoring can now play a broadcast-style in/out graphic at the top centre of the overlay.

• Two player panels: the player leaving (red, PLAYER OUT) and the player coming in (green, PLAYER IN), with photo, jersey number, name and team logo.
• The outer frame stays still. A chasing-border light runs around the outgoing player first, then the incoming player, with matching chevrons in the middle.
• Sized as a compact top-centre card in the same navy–violet scoreboard treatment as the FAS bar (cyan hairline, diagonal streaks), so it reads as part of the overlay rather than a full-screen takeover.
• Opt-in and Browser Source only. Check Substitution cards in Branding → Streaming overlay, save, and hard-refresh OBS. The polled URL/API source does not play the animation.

A player foul can now flash a small rectangular card in the upper corner of that team’s side — home left, away right.

• Photo (or jersey fallback), large number, team logo, player name, and the foul type: personal, shooting, offensive, technical or unsportsmanlike.
• Technical and unsportsmanlike use a pink label; the other types stay cyan.
• Same scoreboard background as the bar. The card slides in, holds a few seconds, then leaves.
• Opt-in and Browser Source only. Check Foul card in Branding → Streaming overlay, save, and hard-refresh OBS.

The public player page leads with what fans actually scan first — points, rebounds and assists — instead of a flat row of equal numbers.

• PPG, RPG and APG are the large featured stats; games, steals and blocks sit underneath.
• Shooting (2P%, 3P%, FT%) uses coloured gauges. Fill is the percentage; colour is how good that shot type is on a cold-to-hot scale (2-point, 3-point and free throws each have their own range).
• Advanced numbers (PIR, TS%, eFG%, per-36) stay, just quieter.
• Compare sits next to the player’s name instead of under the stats card.

Picking a player, team, coach, news or branding image now opens an optional crop before upload. Skip to keep the original.

• Drag to reframe; square crop for photos, logos and favicons, freeform for news and site logos.
• iPhone HEIC/HEIF photos are accepted. Crop works in Chrome and Firefox (the file is converted in the browser); if you skip crop, the server still stores a JPEG.
• Same crop step in the admin panel and the coach portal roster / team logo uploads.

PG, SG, SF, PF and C on public player lists and profiles use the same hover (and tap) hint as stat abbreviations — so PF is power forward there, not personal fouls.

Searching or browsing Players on a wide screen used to render both the table and the mobile cards. Cards stay hidden on desktop now.

Box scores, player pages and player compare now show a hover (and tap) hint for every stat abbreviation — PPG, RPG, APG, TOPG, PIR, TS% and the rest — in English, Russian and Armenian.

A finished game page is a story first, then the numbers.

• Split scoreboard with a quarter-by-quarter board.
• Recap tab: how it was won (the glass, the swing quarter, player of the game), a team duel, and the top lines.
• Box score and play-by-play sit in their own tabs; plays are grouped by quarter.
• Recap is the default tab once the game is over.

Mark a championship completed and 1st / 2nd / 3rd place team medals are created automatically.

• Playoff final: champion and runner-up; bronze from the 3rd-place game, or the better semifinal loser if there isn’t one.
• No playoffs: top three in the standings.
• Existing medals are left alone so staff can still edit or delete them.

The Awards page is a dropdown of completed championships — no mixed “All championships” list, and seasons that have not finished stay out of the menu.

The Leaders dropdown includes in-progress and finished championships. Upcoming seasons (not started yet) stay out. The page opens on a real board instead of an empty “pick a championship” prompt.

On a championship page, the tab row wraps so Awards is tappable. In the Games table, status sits under the date and team names use abbreviations so the row no longer spills off the screen.

The Playoffs page is a tournament tree now, not a stack of series cards.

• Matchup cards show seed, logo, abbreviation and series score; a live game swaps in the current score and a LIVE pill.
• Rounds connect with cyan elbow wires. The Finals card has an orange glow, a trophy, and the game result.
• Click a series for the result, box score and the top performer (points, rebounds, assists).
• On phones, round jumpers replace the wires so you can jump between Quarterfinals, Semifinals and the Final.
• Lives on each league's `/playoffs` page and on the championship Playoffs tab.

A dedicated page that explains what bbstats is for organizers searching for basketball league software.

• New page at [/basketball-league-software](https://bbstats.am/basketball-league-software) covering live scoring, box scores, playoffs, streaming overlays, FIBA import and the public league site.
• Honest about where bbstats is not the right fit (facility booking, officials assignment, multi-sport) and links to the comparison pages.
• Linked from the platform header (Features) and footer, included in the sitemap, and server-rendered so search engines see the full page.

Search engines now get a clearer picture of the marketing site and stop indexing empty shells.

• Unknown and league-only paths on bbstats.am (for example `/teams` or a typo) return a real 404 instead of an empty page with the home-page title.
• `www.bbstats.am` redirects to `bbstats.am`, so there is one canonical copy of each page.
• The signup page at `/start` now has crawlable HTML, not just a form that appears after JavaScript.
• Sitemap last-modified dates are set only when we know a page actually changed; comparison structured data now points at the real `/compare/bbstats-vs-…` URLs.

Each league can publish a public Partners page with sponsor logos and links.

• Public page at `/partners` with logo grid, name, short description and website (opens in a new tab).
• Admin → Partners: add, edit, publish/draft, sort order and logo upload (PNG / JPG / WebP).
• Header nav, sitemap and crawlable HTML so search engines see the page, not an empty shell.
• EN / RU / HY copy on the public site.

Leagues can open a public Coach portal so club coaches self-serve youth registration.

• Championships support age groups (U8–U19) and gender (Boys / Girls / Mixed).
• Toggle **Coach portal** on Championships; coaches use `/coach` on the league site.
• Coaches create an account, apply to one or more season divisions, then wait for staff approval.
• Admin → Coach apps: approve or reject applications before teams can be created.
• Approved coaches add **one team per division** (same club, different ages = separate teams) and manage rosters.
• Demo: [demo.bbstats.am/coach](https://demo.bbstats.am/coach).

A step-by-step product tour for youth seasons, divisions and coaches.

• New page at [/onboarding](https://bbstats.am/onboarding) with real screenshots of admin divisions, coach register/apply, approval and teams-per-division.
• Linked from the platform header, footer and home Explore section.
• Included in the sitemap and platform SSR for search engines.

Head coaches are first-class people, not just a text field on the team.

• Admin → Coaches: create profiles with name, photo, bio and team; optionally set as head coach.
• Public page at `/coaches/:slug` with coaching W–L record and recent games.
• Team and game pages link to the coach profile when one is assigned.
• Legacy free-text coach names still work until you link a profile.
• Discipline can suspend coaches as well as players (games served on finished team games).

Game-day attendance goes beyond fan Going / Maybe / Not going.

• Fans still RSVP on scheduled game pages; counts show without signing in.
• Staff set per-player roster availability (Going / Maybe / Out / ?) for home and away.
• Public game page shows roster availability alongside fan counts.
• Admin RSVP modal: Roster + Fans tabs, delete fan/manual rows, Remind followers (push to followers who have not RSVPed yet).

League staff can message a team’s managers and keep an audit trail in the admin app.

• Admin → Team messages (or per-team messaging) for tenant-scoped staff chat.
• Complements announcements (one-way broadcast) with team-directed conversation for operators.

Require liability / consent acknowledgements before paid or free team and player registration.

• Admin → Waivers: rich-text templates, required for team and/or player signup, versioned on edit.
• Public register forms show the active waivers with checkboxes; checkout is blocked until all are accepted.
• Acceptances store signer name, email, IP, user-agent and template version; linked to the created team/player after fulfillment.
• Acceptances audit log for staff review.

Cross-game suspensions that affect eligibility, not only in-game fouled-out.

• Admin → Discipline: suspend a player or coach for N games with a reason.
• Suspended players are left off tip-off rosters and cannot be named as starters.
• Each finished game for the team counts as one game served; lift or auto-serve when complete.
• Active suspensions surface on public player and coach profiles.

Public SEO pages that position bbstats against common league platforms.

• Hub at `/comparisons` and per-vendor pages at `/compare/bbstats-vs-{slug}`.
• Feature matrix covers registration, waivers, live scoring, RSVP, messaging, discipline, overlays, FIBA import and more.
• Curated from public product docs; disclaimer notes that vendor features change.

Leagues can publish one-way announcements to team followers, and fans who follow a side can RSVP on upcoming games.

• Admin: Announcements compose, league-wide or one-team scope, web push on publish.
• Public feed at /announcements (linked in the header when any exist).
• Fans RSVP Going / Maybe / Not going on scheduled game pages; staff see counts and can add manual attendance names.

Enter a final score without running live play-by-play — useful for games scored offline or reported after the fact.

• Games → Enter result sets the score, finishes the game, and updates standings/playoffs (no PBP replay).
• Assign team managers under Teams; they can submit results for their matchups.
• Recalculate / PBP edit is blocked for score-only finishes so the entered result is not wiped.

The schedule generator can pack fixtures onto chosen weekdays, multiple tip-off times, and multiple venues without double-booking a court.

• Leave packing fields empty to keep the simple “one kickoff every N days” behavior.
• Select Sat/Sun (or any days), extra slot times, and multiple venues, then preview and commit as before.

Each game can run a real FIBA-style shot clock on arena TVs, separate from live scoring.

• Staff console at Games → Shot clock: Reset 24 / 14, Start/Stop, ± ±1, optional link to the period clock.
• Fullscreen display URLs for dual/triple screens: shot only, shot+period, or table (score + both clocks).
• Shot-clock operator does not need the live-scorer lock — a second staff member can run the clocks.

Leagues can collect team and player registration fees on their public site — payments go through the bbstats merchant account (Paddle), with an adjustable platform fee recorded on each invoice.

• Tenant admins enable registration and set team/player prices under Branding.
• Super-admins set the platform fee percent and/or fixed amount under Payments.
• Buyers fill a public form, pay, and the team or player is created automatically once payment succeeds.
• Free (zero-price) registration fulfills immediately without checkout.
• SaaS subscription billing is unchanged: registration invoices never extend a league’s plan period.

Admins can generate a full regular-season fixture list in one pass from Games → Generate schedule — hand-creating games one-by-one still works as before.

• Single or double round-robin with bye rounds for odd team counts.
• Set the first matchday, days between rounds, kickoff time, optional venue and quarter length.
• Preview every fixture, tweak dates or remove rows, then create them in bulk.
• Optional “replace scheduled games” clears only not-yet-started regular-season fixtures for that championship (live and finished games stay).

Public league sites (and bbstats.am) can be installed on a phone’s home screen like a native app — full-screen, with the league’s name and branding.

• Android/Chrome: an Install prompt when the browser offers it; also available from Profile.
• iPhone: clear Add to Home Screen guidance via Share.
• Offline shell so revisiting a cached page doesn’t show a blank error when the network drops.
• Push notifications keep working through the same service worker.

Keep your own club site and still show live league data — copy a one-line script from Branding → Website embeds, or call the public JSON API.

• iframe widgets for standings and upcoming schedule (auto-resize, league theme colors).
• `GET /api/public/embed/standings`, `/schedule` and `/championships` return slim, stable JSON (CORS open; Host selects the league).
• Optional championship filter when a tenant runs more than one competition.

Try the product without signing up at demo.bbstats.am — a shared sample league with live scoring you can explore.

Demo data resets on a schedule so the site stays ready for the next visitor.

The platform homepage now walks through the product with real screenshots — not mockups:

• Match timeline and play-by-play
• Playoff brackets
• Match management and live scoring
• Public match center

Each stop has a short plain-language explanation so visitors can see how a league runs day to day before they sign up.

bbstats.am now surfaces a visible FAQ covering plans, live scoring, multi-championship leagues and public pages, with matching structured data for search engines.

• SoftwareApplication and FAQPage JSON-LD keep feature lists and screenshots in sync with the page.
• Sitemap and meta cover `/pricing`, `/contact`, `/start` and the legal pages so core product pages are easier to discover.

New tenant dashboards open with a short onboarding checklist that tracks the first setup steps — branding, teams, venues, staff and the first game.

Progress updates as you go, and you can dismiss the checklist once the league is ready to run.

Admin and stats accounts now keep a single active sign-in. Logging in on another device ends the previous session immediately (API and live-scoring sockets), so shared credentials cannot stay open on two machines at once.

If your session was replaced, you are sent back to login with a clear notice to sign in again.

A new **Streaming overlay (OBS)** section in Branding lets you design how the scoreboard looks without touching code:

• Pick a layout preset (bottom bar, top bar, compact, minimal) and screen position.
• Override colors or inherit them from your site theme; toggle logos, fouls, possession and the period/clock.
• Live preview on a checkerboard background, plus one-click copy of the Browser Source and URL/API Source URLs for any game.

Every game row in the admin Games list now has a **Copy overlay** button next to **Score**, so you can grab the OBS Browser Source URL for that fixture in one click before going live.

A single league site can now run several championships at once instead of being locked to one.

• Games, teams, players and stats are scoped to the championship they belong to, so a club can keep (for example) a U15 and a U18 competition side-by-side under the same brand.
• The public site (championship, games, teams and players pages) lets visitors switch between championships, and each view only shows the records for the selected one.
• Standings, leaderboards and per-player aggregates are recomputed per championship, so a player who appears in two competitions keeps separate stat lines.
• Existing single-championship tenants are migrated automatically — their data is assigned to their original championship with no manual cleanup.

Teams now carry an explicit championship assignment, editable from the admin Teams view. When you create a game, only the teams belonging to the selected championship are offered, which prevents accidentally scheduling a cross-competition fixture.

The court-view live scorer can now open and correct the play-by-play feed without leaving the court, so a mis-logged bucket or rebound can be fixed in place mid-game.

• A missed final free throw that is tipped back in is now offered as a one-tap tip-in follow-up, matching the existing field-goal tip-in flow.
• Substitutions accept several players in and out in a single action, so a full line change no longer means repeating the sub dialog five times.

The selector dropdowns used across the admin (championship, team and player pickers) were restyled for clearer, more consistent menus.

The admin now defaults to the most relevant championship (the active one) when you open Games and related views, instead of forcing you to pick every time.

Several edge cases in the foul-logging flow were corrected so the foul type, free-throw awards and resulting game state stay consistent.

A brand-new **Court** scoring mode lets the scorekeeper record shots by tapping their exact location on a to-scale half-court instead of using buttons alone.

• Tap where the shot was taken; the modal walks through make/miss, shooter, assist, rebound and block — the same canonical events as the classic view.
• Shot coordinates are stored per attempt, which powers the new shot maps and zone breakdowns.
• Court mode and the classic list view stay fully in sync; you can switch between them mid-game.

A new game-stats screen turns the shot coordinates from Court mode into visual analytics:

• Filter the chart by individual player or view the whole team.
• **FG% by zone** breaks the floor into the standard scoring areas (paint, mid-range, corners, above-the-break three) and shows makes/attempts and percentage for each.
• A **heatmap density** layer highlights where shots concentrate, so hot and cold spots are obvious at a glance.

The Branding section now includes a QR code that points to your public site, ready to print on posters, programmes and signage so fans can jump straight to live scores.

The generated QR code is fully customizable from Branding:

• Adjust colors and styling to match your league brand.
• Settings are stored on the championship and downloaded as an image for print or web use.

After a missed shot that is immediately put back, the live scorer offers a one-tap **tip-in** so the offensive rebound and the made basket are recorded together in the correct sequence.

Blocked 2-point attempts are now captured properly: the block is credited to the defender, the attempt is logged as a miss, and the live rebound flow continues as expected.

A batch of smaller live-scoring corrections from May 17 covering event sequencing and game-state consistency.

Games can now be set to 8-, 10- or 12-minute quarters, so the same platform handles youth, club and senior formats without hard-coded period lengths.

When a player fouls out, the live scorer now requires a substitute before play resumes, and foul counts (personal and team) are tallied correctly through that flow.

Admins can now clean up duplicate player records created across games or imports.

• A **Merge** action on a player searches for the player to merge into and combines their stats and game history.
• The duplicate entry is permanently removed once merged, leaving a single canonical player.

Fixed the player search used by the import and merge flows so partial-name lookups return the expected matches.

Standings are now sorted with the standard FIBA league criteria:

• Teams are ranked by classification points, then wins.
• Any group still tied is broken by a **head-to-head mini-standings** computed only from games played between those teams, then by overall point differential, then by points scored.

Logging an unsportsmanlike foul now applies the correct free throws plus possession outcome and updates personal/team foul counts consistently.

• Tidied the live-scoring dashboard layout and hid actions that do not apply to the current game state, reducing mis-taps during a fast game.
• Added missing UI translations (English, Armenian, Russian) and fixed the delete-confirmation alert.

Admins can now turn a finished game generated by GENIUS into a played-game record without re-typing anything.

• Upload the **FIBA Box Score** PDF on **Games → Import PDF**.
• The importer parses both teams, the full roster (active + DNP), starters, captains, quarter scores, and the entire box score.
• A 3-step wizard lets you map each parsed team and player to an existing record, or create new ones, before any rows are saved.
• Import runs strict reconciliation (per-player `2*(FGM-3PM)+3*3PM+FTM=PTS`, sum-of-players + team rebounds = totals row, sum-of-quarters = final score) and refuses to commit on mismatch.
• No play-by-play is generated — this is a result-only import.

FIBA Box Scores display each player's on-court time rounded to whole seconds, so summing them can drift by 1–2 s vs. the canonical Totals row (e.g. 240:01 for a 4×12 game). The importer now snaps player seconds to the Totals row when the drift is small (≤5 s) by absorbing the delta into the longest-played active player; larger drifts surface as a warning on the review screen.

• `axios` bumped to 1.16.0 across the public site (CVE patch).
• Express now serves the `helmet` baseline (CSP-friendly defaults, X-Frame-Options, X-Content-Type-Options, Referrer-Policy).
• Every `v-html` insertion in the public site is sanitised with DOMPurify (changelog, news detail, league rules, platform layout).

Refreshed front-door experience for fans landing on a tenant subdomain:

• Featured **news slider** at the top.
• Live games + most-recent results above the fold.
• Restyled **game timeline** (horizontal scroll, smarter date compression on long gaps).
• Active championships with standings, then upcoming championships at the end.

Every finished game now exposes a **Download PDF** button on its public page. The export contains the full box score, quarter scores, and play-by-play with FIBA-style team-rebound footers — same renderer used by the admin export.

Each league can attach Instagram, Facebook, X (Twitter), YouTube, Telegram, and TikTok URLs in **Branding** (admin → Branding → Social media).

• Stored on the Championship document, not the platform.
• Public site header surfaces them with the matching brand icons.
• Public tenant API exposes only validated URLs (no scheme other than `https`).

On **News** (admin), a Clone action duplicates an article as a new draft (title prefixed with "Copy of …"), preserving cover image, body HTML, and category. Slug is auto-regenerated; published flag flips to `false`.

Each scheduled game now has a **Reschedule** button that opens a date/time picker without leaving the list. Saves immediately; live admins on other devices see the change via the standard `game:updated` socket event.

Recording a turnover now asks for the type — **bad pass** vs **lost ball** vs other. The play-by-play line and the boxscore filter (`turnovers by type`) reflect the choice.

Logging a shooting foul prompts for the shooter, the foul shots awarded (1/2/3), and which attempts were made/missed — with rebound capture on the last miss when the play stays live.

The arrow flips on jump-ball outcomes and dead-ball possessions. Visible on the live admin scoreboard *and* the public game page; included in PDF exports.

Per-game **team rebounds** are now first-class:

• Offensive, defensive, and deadball buckets tracked separately.
• Live admin can edit each cell mid-game.
• Public game page renders a **Team Rebounds** footer line on each side ("Team Rebounds: 8 (Off 3, Def 5) · Deadball: 1").
• PDF box score uses the same formatter so the printed sheet matches what fans see.

Several edge cases around starting and resuming the clock — off-by-one second drift after a pause-resume cycle, occasional double-tick on socket reconnect — have been fixed. Admin live-scoring sockets now refresh their JWT before emitting events when the access token is near expiry, so a long live-scoring session can't time out mid-game.

A scheduled job now flips championships between **upcoming → active → finished** based on `startDate` / `endDate`. Available both as an in-process timer (default) and a one-shot script for OS-level cron (`npm run championship-status-sweep`) when operators prefer external scheduling.

Wildcard subdomains *.bbstats.am for new leagues/championships

• Slugs were previously globally unique across the entire database, so the second league to register a "Lakers" team silently ended up at `/teams/lakers-2`, the third at `/teams/lakers-3`, and so on — uglier URLs the more leagues onboarded. Same problem for common kid names like "alex-petrosyan", news titles like "season-recap", etc.
• Replaced the global unique index on `slug` with a compound unique `{ championship, slug }` index on Team, Player, NewsArticle and Game. Two leagues are now free to share `/teams/lakers`, `/players/alex-petrosyan` or `/news/season-recap`. Slugs are still unique within each league so internal links never collide.
• Soft-delete-aware: the index is partial-filtered on `deletedAt: null`, so trashing a team called "Lakers" frees the slug for a brand-new "Lakers" in the same league.
• Pre-save slug-collision loop also scoped per championship — no more pointless probing across other tenants' data.
• Added `server/scripts/rescopeSlugIndexes.js` (idempotent, supports `--dry-run`) that drops the legacy global indexes, dedupes any within-tenant collisions on dirty pre-migration data, and creates the new compound indexes. Run once on each environment; safe to re-run.
• Channels that look up by slug (public detail pages, SEO resolver) were already tenant-scoped via the `scoped()` helper, so no route changes were needed.

• Every tenant can now plug in their own analytics provider from `/admin/analytics` — pick **Google Analytics 4**, **Plausible**, or **Umami (self-hosted)** and paste a measurement ID, site domain, or website ID. The script for the active provider is server-injected into the SPA HTML so events fire on the very first page view, not just after hydration.
• The same editor is reused in the super-admin Platform → Edit tenant modal under a new **Analytics** tab, and at the bottom of Platform branding for analytics on `bbstats.am` itself.
• SPA route changes also dispatch pageviews on the client (`gtag` / `plausible` / `umami` global), so single-page navigation (e.g. browsing teams → players → games) shows up as separate pageviews in your dashboard.
• Never tracked: `/admin/*` pages, suspended/soft-deleted tenants, and the `/start/confirm/...` signup flow.
• Snippet builder validates inputs: a missing GA4 measurement ID, a blank Plausible domain, or a non-HTTPS Umami script URL renders as a no-op so operators can stage config without breaking the site.
• One-line warning under the GA4 option: GA4 uses cookies; depending on your jurisdiction (EU/UK/Brazil/etc.) you may need to add a consent banner. We do not ship one — pick Plausible or Umami if you'd rather not deal with it.
• New `analytics` sub-doc on Championship and PlatformSettings; the `PUT /api/championships/:id`, `PUT /api/platform/tenants/:id` and `PUT /api/platform/settings` endpoints accept the field.

• bbstats.am now has a public **/start** page where anyone can launch a free, branded league site in under a minute — no more email-the-team onboarding.
• Form collects league name, subdomain, operator name, email, password and time zone (auto-detected from the browser). Live availability check on the subdomain field as you type, with a curated reserved-words list (api, www, admin, mail, etc.).
• Cloudflare Turnstile CAPTCHA on submit (when configured); same verification path as the public-user register flow.
• Email confirmation: server creates a `TenantSignup` doc with a sha256-hashed token and a 7-day TTL, then sends a "one click to launch" email. The actual Championship + admin User are NOT created until the operator clicks the link, so abandoned signups never pollute the subdomain namespace.
• First-confirm-wins for subdomain races: two people can submit "yerevan" but only the first to confirm gets the name; the second sees a friendly "claim a different name" message.
• On confirm: provisions the tenant, creates the admin user with the password chosen at signup, creates the Cloudflare DNS record automatically, and emails a welcome with the admin URL. The confirmation page auto-redirects to the new admin panel after a brief celebration moment.
• Idempotent confirmation: clicking the link twice returns the existing tenant info instead of failing.
• New endpoints: `GET /api/signup/check-subdomain`, `POST /api/signup`, `POST /api/signup/resend`, `GET /api/signup/confirm/:token`. All four are platform-only — they refuse requests on tenant hosts.
• New audit events: `tenant.signup.requested` and `tenant.signup.confirmed`.
• New SEO route entries for `/start` (indexable, marketing copy) and `/start/confirm/:token` (noindex).

The homepage hero CTA on bbstats.am now links to `/start` instead of opening a `mailto:` — the platform is officially self-serve.
