I am legitimately a human user of this plugin

We use this plugin at [redacted], a real website, and I am a real live person who has no vested interest in up or down voting this plugin.

First off, the 2 reviews from November 6th are ridiculous. Someone clearly didn’t find what they were expecting for some reason, and got ticked off. Show me the “better sport plug-in” that is free? Yeah, good luck with that.

2nd, polar1bear is totally right about Scarlett. When the dev team gets to your issues, they are very good. The response is not always instantaneous, but guess what – development time by solid people is expensive, and the value you get out of this compared to what you pay for it is pretty good. So yeah, your feature request might not be top priority, but they’ll get there. And they’ve always responded to emergency issues within a day or 2 – again, not what you might get if you were paying a big company for support, and it is very nerve-wracking while you wait, but overall pretty impressive for what I assume is a small team.

Lastly, if AT ALL possible, go ahead and pay whatever the monthly fee is for the stats package (i.e. Pro version). We are running fantasy triathlon, and so obviously there was not a pre-packaged set of stats tools for this. And while the front end of the plugin is top-notch, the backend – entering stats, players, etc – is definitely “utilitarian” at best. There is no way to bulk import anything, and it runs pretty sluggishly compared to the rest of the code in the plugin. YOU WILL go insane if you try to use this for any major sport and enter your own players and scores.

Definitely a 5-star plugin if you are paying for stats and setting everything up as it comes out of the box. If you’re doing a niche sport like us, and need to rely on the WP backend stuff for entering data, I gotta knock it down to a 4. But still impressive.
