A cut list you can defend in the hallway

Every drill and every scrimmage becomes scores, voice notes and a ranked board, from every court and every evaluator, so when the phone rings, you have the answer.

TryoutBrain is tryout software for youth and adult sports clubs. Coaches and evaluators score athletes from their phones by voice, sliders or paper sheets; the app matches every observation to the athlete, ranks the field, helps the staff place athletes on teams, and emails each family their result with the reasons. It is built in Canada and serves clubs in Canada and the United States.

A hundred kids, two courts, and the cut list is due tonight.

Basketball tryouts compress the most players into the least time. Evaluators split across courts and see different halves of the room; the point guard who ran the floor for twenty minutes gets a number from one drill; and the cut list is built from a clipboard and a gut. Then the phone rings.
