Can you edit stats on GameChanger?
Last updated: August 3, 2026
Yes, but only users with the appropriate team and scorekeeping permissions can change the official record. If you are a parent, player, or fan without staff access, send the correction to a coach, scorekeeper, or team administrator.
Do not try to work around account permissions. The official correction should be made by authorized team staff.
Official GameChanger record
Authorized team staff must edit the official scorebook inside GameChanger.
Independent GC Stats record
GC Stats lets you keep a corrected imported season record, but it does not write changes back to GameChanger.
After the correction
Export again or re-import the corrected game so your outside stats workflow matches the record your team accepts.
How staff correct the official scorebook
- Open the completed game using a team staff account.
- Find the inning and play that was recorded incorrectly.
- Edit the play—for example, change an error to a hit or correct the responsible player.
- Save the change and review the game and season totals.
- Confirm that the correction did not unintentionally change runs, RBI, earned runs, or the final score.
GameChanger’s interface can change over time, so the exact edit control may vary by device and team role.
Common corrections to review carefully
Hit versus error
Changing this decision can affect batting average, on-base percentage, fielding totals, earned runs, and pitcher statistics.
Wrong batter or pitcher
Confirm both the individual player line and the team total after reassigning a play.
RBI and run attribution
A corrected play can change more than the hit column. Review runs, RBI, and earned-run consequences together.
Missing substitution
Incorrect lineup or defensive substitutions can attach later plays to the wrong player.
How corrections work in GC Stats
GC Stats lets you review and correct imported stat lines so your own searchable season record reflects the decision your team accepts. This is useful when an export or copied play-by-play contains a mistake you need to track separately.
A GC Stats correction changes only your GC Stats record. It does not alter the official GameChanger scorebook or another user’s account.
For the cleanest workflow, start with a fresh GameChanger stats export after the official scorebook is corrected. If export access is unavailable, use the GameChanger play-by-play import guide and document the correction in GC Stats.
What to do if you cannot edit GameChanger stats
- Write down the game, inning, batter, and exact play that needs review.
- Send the evidence to an authorized coach or scorekeeper.
- Ask them to confirm whether the official scorebook will be changed.
- Export the corrected stats again, or import the game into GC Stats and document your independent correction.
