Athleon Playbooks Avaliable For Testing

Wednesday, January 23rd, 2008

We’ve had plans for Athleon Playbooks since the idea for this company first started. Recently multiple teams have begun requesting exactly what we’d planned to build…but they needed it sooner than this coming fall.

We decided that putting playbooks up while they were still being tested was worth it to give you the opportunity to use them THIS season. We hope you’ll agree with us.

Playbooks are in Alpha, feel free to check them out and help your team visualize plays. Feel free to tell brent@athleonsport.com the playbook features you’d like to see and hang tight, we’ll get the full fledged version up as soon as we can

Hey users, quite a few of you, if you edited your account options recently, may have found that you had mysteriously moved from ‘Seattle, WA USA’ to ‘Seattle, WA, Afghanistan.’ We’re going to assume that most of you actually did not move, and we’ve fixed the bug.

If you actually did move, then I hope Afghanistan is nice this time of year.
