Case study: making a pickup game Official

Anyone can type "I scored 40" into a website. The interesting problem is making a number worth believing. On Rockland Connected, a game becomes Official through a chain: two sides record a game, a game book is filled in - scores, periods, every player's line - and both captains approve the published revision. Only then do stat lines flow into player cards, season totals, and the county leaderboard. Change a line later and the approval chain runs again. No silent edits. The payoff shows up in the details. Shooting splits render as 12/20 with a live percentage. Baseball innings add as outs, so 5.2 and 3.1 innings make 9.0, not 8.3. A bowling high game keeps a career-best instead of a meaningless sum. The math respects each sport because the sport config - not the page - owns the rules. Verified numbers make small games feel big. That is the entire point of the sports network: your Tuesday night run deserves a box score your grandkids can look up.
