Frequently Asked Questions

Dugout Edge uses advanced algorithms to ensure every player gets equal playing time and experience. The system tracks each player's time in different positions and batting spots, automatically rotating players to maintain fairness across games. It considers position preferences, rest requirements, and ensures balanced playing time for all team members.

For each player, Dugout Edge tracks their name, jersey number, position preferences, playing time history, batting order history, and field position assignments. The system maintains detailed records of how often each player has played each position and where they've batted in the order to ensure fair rotation.

The position rotation system analyzes each player's historical playing time and automatically assigns positions to ensure everyone gets equal experience. If a player has played more innings at shortstop than other positions, the system will prioritize them for other positions in future lineups while still respecting their preferences.

Yes, Dugout Edge adapts to various league formats including different inning counts, co-ed requirements, position restrictions, and special rules. Each team can have its own league settings that automatically apply to all lineup generations for that team.

For co-ed teams, Dugout Edge can enforce alternating male/female batting orders, ensure equal playing time for all players regardless of gender, and apply position-specific co-ed rules. The system tracks gender-specific playing time to maintain fairness.

Unlike manual lineup creation, Dugout Edge automatically tracks and balances playing time across multiple games, ensures no player gets stuck in the same position or batting spot repeatedly, and applies complex league rules consistently. It eliminates bias and ensures mathematical fairness.
