About

Chicago’s Game puts your whole softball season in one app. Whether you play in a weekly league or a weekend tournament, you can follow every game, team, and score in one place. It replaces the group texts, spreadsheets, and paper scorecards.

  • Schedules and results. Every game's field, time, and final score.
  • Playoff brackets. Brackets for league playoffs and tournaments, by year.

  • Chat and photos. League and tournament chat, with photo galleries for each season.
  • Manager tools. Set up seasons, teams, timeslots, schedules, and brackets, and invite other managers with a link.

How it's built

A React web app and an Expo / React Native iOS app share one backend: a Python FastAPI service on AWS Lambda behind API Gateway, with DynamoDB for storage, Cognito for sign-in, and SES for email. The infrastructure is written in Terraform and deploys through GitHub Actions.
