YELLOWBAT

Follow · Play · Organize

The backyard game with the yellow bat, finally organised.

Run your league from your phone. Keep score at the picnic table. Follow the teams and players you actually care about — and let the standings, stats and schedules keep themselves up to date.

Free. Every feature, no subscription, no in-app purchase.

The whole loop, in one app

Most backyard ball lives in a group chat, a spreadsheet, and a scorebook in somebody's car boot. YellowBat replaces all three without asking anyone to become an administrator.

Follow

Your teams, your league

Follow a team, a player, a competition — or a single fixture. Your home screen becomes live scores and results for exactly those, and nothing else.

Play

Score it in seconds

Tap a run in, or log every at-bat if you want the box score. Both produce the same stats. Backyard games need no roster and welcome guests who will never install anything.

Organize

Leagues and brackets

Round-robin schedules, single and double elimination, standings that derive themselves from results. Share one link and your roster fills itself.

Built for the way it is actually played

Serious enough for a league that runs a full season. Casual enough for six people who decided on Friday.

Scores confirm themselves

One side submits, the other confirms. Nobody answers within 48 hours and it posts anyway — silence is consent, so the table never freezes.

Stats that follow the player

Career history survives leaving a team. Guests who later sign up inherit everything they did before they had an account.

One account, every role

Nobody picks "fan" or "player" at signup. You are a commissioner of one league and a bench player on another at the same time, and the app just knows.

Who is actually turning up

RSVP per game, and reschedule by agreement rather than by decree. The two things that used to live in the group chat.

Pickup is first class

A backyard session has no roster and no teams. Sides get redrawn every game, guests count, and the box score is still right.

Free, properly

No paid tier, no gated second competition, no in-app purchase. The organisers are the reason any of this works.

Bringing a league across?

Create the competition, add your teams, and send one invite link to the group chat. Players join by tapping it — no account needed first.
