v3.0.0 introduces major platform improvements across the app and backend.

We rolled out a massive upgrade to the Playspedia system and backend infrastructure.

Behind the scenes, we've modernized parts of the architecture to improve performance and make the platform more stable and secure. These updates also allow us to release improvements and new features more efficiently going forward.

Along with the backend work, we've refreshed and updated parts of the design interface to create a cleaner and more streamlined experience while keeping the workflow familiar. The main focus of this update has been stability, security, and setting up a stronger foundation for future development. With these improvements in place, you can expect new features and enhancements over the coming weeks.

If you have ideas or suggestions, we'd love to hear them. You can send feedback to [email protected].

The new playmaker is officially out of beta and available to all!

Try it out by clicking using the "new version" selection in the navigation under Plays->Create New Play. Please note that while it is out of beta, there may still be some issues as we receive more feedback. This playmaker is much more powerful and may take a bit more getting used to. We recommend that if you want to build simple plays, the original playmaker is still best for those needs. But if you want more control, and a version that works on touch devices like an iPad the new playmaker is the way to go.

Check out our channel to learn how to use the play maker.

Here's a highlight of some new changes since the beta release

  • Print Plays - It will print each play and the description on separate page
  • Supports touch devices like iPad
  • Minor fixes to moving items versus field elements

We're excited to announce that Playspedia has a new playmaker that has been rebuilt from the ground up. Currently, supporting Ultimate Frisbee, expect the play maker to support all popular sports in the coming weeks.

This release is available for premium members (Coaches, Captains plans) and will be released to the general public in the coming weeks as the features are tested and ironed out. Any plays you create with the new playmaker will NOT COUNT towards your quota during this beta release time.

Check out a demo of the play maker here.
