This update improves staffing accuracy, pending-request handling, agreed-pay displays, game history, role switching, session handling, and light/dark mode readability. Tournament, league, payment, premium, and USA/Australia location workflows remain connected and easier to manage.

GameCovered now supports local baseball and softball networks in both the USA and Australia. New accounts select a country, Australian users can use local postcodes and kilometer distances, and country-aware matching keeps games and invitations relevant. The start screen now includes an anonymous local activity lookup showing nearby coach/assignor, open-game, and umpire counts without exposing personal details. This update also improves light and dark mode readability and keeps confirmation, notification, invitation, and crew-management actions clearly contained across phone and tablet layouts.

Game requests now move through a clearer approval flow. Pending requests remain visibly unconfirmed until a Coach / Assignor selects an official. Umpires see requests immediately under Awaiting Approval, staffing counts update accurately, and competing requests cannot overfill a crew position. Game completion and ratings now unlock at the scheduled start time using the device’s local time zone. Also included: fair-pay guidance, certification matching, counteroffers, schedule-conflict protection, venue experience information, anonymous postgame feedback, coach calendars, and Tourney and League Director operations tools.

Improved tournament and league management, smarter umpire matching, schedule-conflict protection, coach calendars, counteroffers, location preferences, and overall usability improvement.
