What's new

After a game, your manager can tick everyone who played. Those games count in your games played and your record, even if no stat was entered for you, and you get a reminder to add your stats. Once your team has recorded who played, a late reply no longer changes it.

When a result is entered, the boxes name both teams and show who won before it is saved. Game cards name the teams in the result. Team stats open on the current season, and the goalie section is always there for sports with goalies.

The bar at the bottom of the screen is now Overview, Schedule, Stats and Availability, and your schedule opens on the calendar. On a phone or tablet, benchli offers to add itself to your home screen, so it opens like an app.

Your team's stats page now opens with the leaders: the top players in the stats that matter most for your sport, with their photo and jersey number. Below them, one table holds everyone's stats; tap a column to sort it. Percentages are worked out for you, and a dash means no stat was entered.

Goalies get their own section: games in goal, saves, goals against, save percentage, shutouts and goals against per game.

On your own teams, the team crest now opens the team's page, with its stats. Teams without a crest show their first letter instead.

On your phone, add benchli to your home screen from the browser's share or menu button. It then opens on its own like an app, with the benchli icon and without the browser's address bar.

After you upload a profile photo, it now shows while it is being checked, and then whether it was accepted. If a photo can't be used, you see why: choose one that shows one clear face, with no helmet and no other people. One "Change photo" button lets you take a selfie or choose a photo you already have.

You can now import a schedule directly from an Excel file (.xlsx), without saving it as CSV first. Dates and times can also sit in separate columns.

On the team feed, each person's reaction counts once. Adding the same emoji again no longer raises the count, so the numbers show how many people reacted.

Goalies and managers can now record a goalie's saves and goals against for each game, in every sport with a goalkeeper. Mark who played in goal, then enter the numbers on the game.

When you save a result or a player's stats, the game and the season totals now show the new numbers immediately, everywhere you look, instead of sometimes showing the old figures for a moment.

A schedule saved from Excel in Switzerland now imports as it is: dates like 19.09.2026 19:30, semicolons between columns, and umlauts in team and venue names all work. The template you download also opens in Excel with the umlauts intact.

Hockey teams can now see who is playing in goal for every game, and which games still have no goalie. The goalie schedule shows each game with its answer, and the game's page and the roster show goalie positions too, so a gap is spotted early rather than on game day.

A new About page in benchli lists what has changed recently, so you can see new features as they arrive.

On tablets, the guided tour now opens the menu properly in portrait and landscape. On our website, the phone menu now closes as soon as you tap a link.

When you upload a new profile photo, your profile now tells you while it is still being checked, and lets you know if it could not be used, so you are never left wondering why the old one is still showing.
