Question 1

Which divisions and leagues does this fit?

Accepted Answer

T-Ball, Single A, AA, AAA, Majors and Intermediate 50/70, roughly ages 4 to 13. It works for Little League, Cal Ripken, PONY, Dixie Youth, USSSA and town rec teams alike. Each division comes with sensible defaults for innings, field spots, pitching and time limits, and you can change any of them, including 10-, 11- or 12-player fielding lineups.

Question 2

How does the fair position rotation work?

Accepted Answer

LineupBud tracks every position each kid plays all season and builds the next lineup to even things out. Infield spots are filled first, kids mix infield and outfield within a game, and whoever is furthest behind on infield time gets first claim next game, so nobody is stuck in the outfield week after week.

Question 3

Does it follow my division's playing-time rules?

Accepted Answer

Yes, automatically. T-Ball and Single A: everyone plays every inning. AA: nobody sits twice until everyone has sat once, and kids move between infield and outfield regularly. AAA and up: every player gets at least two full defensive innings. The rules in force print under the lineup grid, and if one cannot be met with the kids who are there, the app says so.

Question 4

Can I import my roster from a spreadsheet or a photo?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Paste straight from Excel or Google Sheets, upload a CSV or XLSX file, or snap a photo or phone screenshot of your roster and LineupBud reads the names and numbers off it. Contact info is ignored.

Question 5

Can I choose how the batting order works?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Pick a rolling order that carries over from the last game, a static order that starts at #1 every game, or the T-Ball style where the whole order bats every inning and the leadoff shifts each inning. An 'everyone bats' setting lets every kid hit even when they are not in the field, and at-bats stay balanced all season.

Question 6

Does it handle pitch counts, rest days and catchers?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Pick your pitchers first and the lineup is built around them. Coach pitch, machine pitch and kid pitch are all supported, your division's inning and pitch limits are shown as guidance, rest days are flagged, and only kids you clear for live catching go behind the plate during kid pitch.

Question 7

What if kids are late, leave early or miss the game?

Accepted Answer

Mark them absent and the lineup rebalances around them. For a late arrival or early departure, pick the half-inning and LineupBud builds the lineup around the innings they miss, without counting that time as bench, and keeps their spot in the batting order.

Question 8

Can I print a dugout card?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The card shows the batting order with jersey numbers, each player's position by inning, the pitching plan, your team logo and a field diagram. Print 1, 2 or 4 to a sheet, or save it as a PDF on your phone.

Question 9

Can my assistant coaches or team parent see the lineup?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Invite up to 3 assistant coaches and 1 team parent by email. Everyone can view lineups, dugout cards and stats, and you choose which assistants can also edit.

Question 10

How much does it cost?

Accepted Answer

Your first team and two games are free, no credit card. A $12 team pass unlocks a team for 120 days, and $4.50 adds another 30 days if your season runs long. League promo codes are accepted too.
