Game day gamers
It is a great software for families who love games and sports
PROSI like that I can pick multiple games to play and it has an option to pay for better experience for this software.
CONSThe least thing I liked was the internet glitching issue. Which is now fixed so I am satisfied with the outcome.

Lots of quirks, like any platform
The financial reporting side of GameDay is straightforward to report from, easily reconciling to our bank account. Extracting data to use in other software (excel reports that run macros) is straightforward. Unlike many databases, we can pretty much drag as much information from this database as we like. I really like the communications option - makes it easy to shoot an email to the team when forfeits need to be notified. Flexibility of data fields (customisable)
CONSThe sms / text aspect of comms is impenetrable. Lots of data fields, not all accessible through the advanced search - specifically, including parents in information mailouts then receiving requests to remove email addresses: cannot find them (as they are 2ndary email addresses) Does not work well with Firefox The website editor is impenetrable & difficult to learn or manage We tried to work with GameDay for APIs/LED screen scoreboard but they were very cagey about working with 3rd parties (that was in 2013) (note that we have used this software for years as a "super user" and have adopted all the workarounds, so many issues that would be difficult for newer users we are used to working around)

Overly complex sledgehammer to tap in a nail
It's a love hate relationship. It runs our basketball competitions and registrations, but it's so time intensive and difficult to make it work, just to get it to do the simplest things, I'm certain we'd be better off with a paper system.
PROSIt has good bones if only everything would work successfully or easily the first time.
CONSThis platform is so flakey, so unreliable, so problematic for administrators and users that it's virtually unusable. You virtually need a degree to run the back end correctly, and small clubs like ours run only by volunteers tear their hair out with how complex and time consuming it is to do the simplest things. I can see where the intention is good, but this program is like an initial good idea from 15yrs ago that has grown like spaghetti since and now is a pretty big mess. For a huge organisation with 3 full time paid staff who have learned from hard experience how to make it work, yeah I can see its a good tool. But for volunteer clubs where new people have to learn it year in and year out, it's a nightmare. We can't trust it, most can't use it for basic functions. Only true experts can figure out how to setup a season. The team and player functionality is rubbish. This platform is ok when you're an expert, but unworkable if you're a layperson.
Reason for choosing GameDay
I have no choice. I'm stuck with it. I inherited it.

NEW MEMBERSHIP DB PLATFORM for AUF members
Fairly easy to use and navigate. Some of our members forget to put in the dob correctly. This maybe could be an easier process?
PROSEasy access to names/members and what they signed up, as had been set up for them.
CONSWould like to be able to use Tabular Report via a pre-set up Excel spreadsheet download for the columns I use as we offer membership cards. Have to download then go through and delete the columns I don't use. A template with what I require would be beneficial. I would like the numbering ID available again. It was available, and now dropped off. I have to manually add. This represents our AUF membership number basically.
Reason for choosing GameDay
Our President compared both new and old and what we were promised in this new Gameday package
Reasons for switching to GameDay
This new platform offered separate tiers for payments to differing States, Clubs and Events etc. which has saved me a lot of time, as Classic only had the three tiers and we needed four at that time.

Game Day Review
An average experience with GameDay. support is not readily available and its an expensive piece of software that eats into our profits as a sporting club. the fees per transaction are 4% however Square are only 1.9% over a long period we lose $$.
PROSAs a sporting organisation i like the ability to setup events within gameday. it allows members to register for events during the year.
CONSthe addition of products/fees to events is difficult and i have been informed that a particular product that our members pay for can't be added to the event platform which is what we use. The overall look of the event portal is quite dated and difficult to use. selection of images as a background can be a problem if not already in the correct format. extracting financial records is also difficult there are limited filters. the cost of game day is expensive as opposed to other payment portals.
Reason for choosing GameDay
the decision was made at a higher level than our club to use this software.

Membership database & events
I generally believe it to be worthwhile and just wish others could learn to appreciate the benefits.
PROSIt brought the sport onto a National membership database, which could be managed at Individuals, Club, State and National levels.
CONSGeneral uptake across the (volunteer) organsiation has been sporadic - some believe they know better systems and effectively refuse to anything but the bare minimum. The ability to create a group email to an organisation (rather than an individual member's email) is a drawback (it means creating another offline list to provide those communications.

Not Happy
Reports were extremely involved and difficult to work out needs to be simplified. Delays for Members processing payments. No feed back if an unpaid amount goes through or not. No response from Help Desk.
PROSNo correct alpha order and lack of response. also that our Members were finding a delay in being able to get into the system. Main reason why we used you.
CONSThe fact that it does not file correct ALPHA order ( Surname )

It allows us to get information to our players
Its ben great to get the info out there. it is deteriorating & we will be looking at what else is out there
PROSEasy to access for anybody with a smartphone. We are a bowling club, with most users above the age of 60. Players get a push notification whenever there is news.
CONSAds are crippling the app & ruining it fro our players. Most are not computer literate, but can use a phone. The ads have become more invasive recently, taking over the screen for a certain amount of time. Previously they were there but were static, & did not take control of your phone

would like API access
GameDay is the system we have to use as a member club of a sporting competition. But it is useful in member management to produce contact list reports.
PROSAs a member club, we have no choice but to use it. But it is fairly customisable and does most of what is needed

GameDay is Disapppointing
Disappointing changes to new upgrade. Previous version was easier to navigate and very user friendly.
PROSThe date scrolling makes it easy to get to future matches
CONSSince the total rebuild of the software it has developed the following faults: Cannot see all active teams I follow Cannot follow as many teams as before so need multiple apps to do the same thing Layout is clunky, previous one was easier to navigate Not enough of the points table is visible in landscape mode. Too many buttons in the way making it very small

Buggy app with poor customer support
Hard to say, I can't think of a single feature that works well. There are some good ideas, just poorly implemented.
CONSA lot. The GameDay app is riddled with bugs and design flaws. I have personally reported issues that are yet to be resolved more than 24 months after reporting them. The app design team need to spend more time with end users to understand how the app could function better in real-world scenarios - at the very least listen to the customer feedback reviews posted in Google Play.

PROSNone - I don't see any pros at all in this system - it was obviously good at the time but ads are just a nightmare
CONSIt is almost unusable on a computer to use because of the pop ups on the screen. I'm so happy we have transitioned to Play HQ. For the last 2 years it has been so frustrating to get scores for football out of the system - even now the Sydney Show takes up half the screen.

Sporting club review
Overall GameDay is easy to use and I have either been able to teach myself how to use most things on the website or have found the answers in the help section. I do find it quite easy to navigate which is good.
PROSThe best part of this software is that sporting results are updated quickly and we can view scores from all our club's teams daily and weekly.
CONSAs a club, it would be good to access all team's scores as easily on the app as you can on the website. Unless you follow a team on the app, you can't view their scores etc.
