What is tryout evaluation software?

It's a tool for scoring players at tryouts on a consistent set of skills, then using those scores to place them on teams. OrangeSlice adds reusable templates, numeric ratings, and AI-assisted team building so cuts and placements are fair and defensible.

How does scoring work?

Each player is rated on skill categories using a simple level scale — developing, consistent, advanced — that rolls up into an overall score and a percentile ranking against the rest of the group. Baseball templates come calibrated for age divisions from roughly 9U to 18U, so you're scoring the right things at each level.

Can it build balanced teams from the scores?

Yes. OrangeSlice can draft balanced teams from your evaluation scores, then let you review and adjust before anything is final.

What happens after tryouts?

Accepted players are promoted straight to a roster — no re-entering names — and you can collect a season or membership fee via Stripe as they join.

Can I customize the registration form and skills?

Yes. Tryout templates support custom form questions (text, email, phone, date, select, number, address) and your own evaluation skills, saved as reusable types.

How do you decide who makes it?

Go through candidates one at a time, each scored against the entire field — an overall rank, per-skill percentiles, and how they compare to the group average, all on one card. Invite, reject, or skip with a click or the arrow keys, and watch your invite list tally as you go.
