There’s new color themes and background images, while ScoreMonster has a new website layout as well. All in all, it’s a brand-new ScoreMonster:

As we prepare to turn the calendar to a new year, spring training and the upcoming ball season are officially within sight. Schedules are being set, equipment orders are being placed, rosters are taking shape and it will soon be time to play ball! Our development team has implemented the following enhancements to ensure that 2015 will be your best year yet with ScoreMonster:

• Changed league tab management structures so you can manage your tabs dynamically. This gives you the ability to:
  • Add, delete, edit and rename up to 10 tabs at the top of each team/league site;
  • Rearrange tabs in any order;
  • Link a tab to an external URL.
• Added functionality to support tie scores (for leagues/levels that allow them).
• Additional footer text area that accepts more than 500 characters.
• Support for placing an RSS widget on your page. For instance at www.mnbaseball.org, they opted to replace their scoreboard widget with an MLB RSS widget during the off-season.
