Fairness

Balanced

Sound familiar?

Every commissioner knows this list by heart.

  • Spreadsheet chaos

    Juggling availability, blackouts, and crew sizes across a dozen games per weekend — in a Google Sheet only you can read.

  • Group text overload

    Endless "who's free Saturday?" threads. 27 unread, half the umps muted the chat, and you still don't know if your plate ump is in.

  • Saturday-morning scramble

    Two umps forgot. One bailed. Now you're texting five people 90 minutes before first pitch hoping someone can cover.

  • The rotation fight

    "Why does he always get the good games?" Without data on counts, you can't prove the rotation is fair — even when it is.

UmpCrew fixes all four. See how →

Erik Short

Crew lead & founder

I run umpires for my church softball league — a dozen umps, 16 teams, games every weekend. I built UmpCrew because the spreadsheet-and-group-text system was eating my Saturdays. Now I assign a whole weekend in 10 minutes, and the umps actually show up on time.

Simple, honest pricing

One flat annual fee per league. No per-game charges, no per-text overages.

Frequently asked questions

Does each umpire need an account?
Yes — umps sign in with email or Apple/Google to access the mobile app. They see only their assigned games, can claim open slots, and mark blackout dates. No app install required; there's a web view too. Signing up is free for umps; only the commissioner needs a paid plan.
Can I import my existing schedule?
Yes. UmpCrew accepts a CSV with columns for date, time, field, home team, and away team. Export from most league management tools (GameChanger, LeagueApps, TeamSnap, etc.) and drop the file in — games are created in seconds with no manual entry.
How does the SMS reminder work?
When you assign an ump, they immediately receive a text with the game details and a Google Calendar link. A configurable reminder (default: 24 hours before) goes out automatically. All messages come from a real phone number via Twilio — no short codes that carriers block.
What if I run multiple leagues?
Each league is a separate workspace with its own ump roster and schedule. Pricing is per league — contact us if you're running three or more and we'll work something out.
