League Hubby Acorn LabRelease notes
What’s new for coaches and league admins on the website, the iPhone app and the Android app. Newest first.
- Website v44· Live
Confidentiality & NDA, and agreeing to the terms
- A new Confidentiality & Non-Disclosure Agreement explains how player and family information in League Hub may be used: only for your league, never shared, posted or sold — with extra protection for children’s information.
- New accounts agree to the Terms of Service and the NDA when they sign up (invite links, Google or Apple, join links).
- Everyone else is asked once, the next time they open League Hub on the web. When either document changes, you’ll be asked again.
- Fixed: “Continue with Google” on the Android app now signs you in (it showed an error for some users).

GameChanger: schedules and season stats (for leagues that use it)
- Leagues that use GameChanger can switch it on (ask Acorn Lab). It stays completely hidden for everyone else.
- Coaches paste their team’s GameChanger calendar link once; those games and practices show on the team page, My Teams and the schedule, marked GameChanger, and update by themselves every few hours. League Hub only reads them — nothing changes in GameChanger.
- Booking a practice that overlaps a GameChanger event shows a warning (you can still book).
- Import season stats from GameChanger’s Export Stats file: players are matched by jersey number or name, and you pick anyone it can’t match. Stats show on the team page, each player’s Stats tab and (optionally) the draft board.
- Ask League Hub knows your GameChanger games and your team’s stat leaders.
- An “Open in GameChanger” link on each team that has one.

Release notes and “New this week”
- A public Release notes page lists every website and app update, newest first, with what changed for coaches and admins.
- The home page shows a short “New this week” line with the biggest updates from the last seven days.
- Website v41· Live
Print shop, a cleaner look, and Google Play
- Print shop: save your banner printer’s email once, then send each paid sponsor’s logo to the printer in one click, with the sponsor, tier and your contact. League Hub keeps track of what’s been sent.
- A lighter, more modern look: a smaller Ask panel so pages have more room, rounder corners and softer cards.
- The setup checklist’s Print shop step now works for real.
- League Hub is on Google Play — the Play badge is live in every footer.

Action center, rain tools, practice preferences and the League Hub Assistant
- Action center: a bell shows how many things are waiting on you — join requests, imported blackouts, rain changes, setup steps — and opens each one in the right place.
- Rain delay: close every field (or one park) for a day in one click.
- Weather: League Hub checks the rain forecast every morning and proposes moving or cancelling games and practices. Your scheduler approves, and coaches are told.
- Import a school calendar (CSV or Excel) as blackouts and approve them before they take effect.
- Same-day booking opens by division in order (Majors first, then every 30 minutes by default), set on Booking Windows.
- Practice preferences: rank up to 10 times you want, any day of the week, every week or just once. League Hub books down your list when your window opens.
- Lineup templates: start blank, keep any past game as a template, and star your favorites.
- New-league setup checklist that ticks itself off as you go.
- League Hub Assistant: ask about your team in plain words (“When’s my next practice?”) or jump to any page.
- Rules search now bolds the words you searched for.
