Version 7.1.0 of Flyball Manager has been released alongside updates to ondeckmanager.com, bringing a host of new capabilities to improve your tournament experience. I'm particularly excited to announce that you can now receive push notifications when races you're tracking are about to start—a feature many of you have been requesting.
This release includes numerous enhancements. Let me walk you through what's new.
One of the most requested features for OnDeck Manager has arrived: push notifications. Now you can receive instant alerts when teams you're tracking are called to the hole, ensuring you never miss a race.
This feature integrates seamlessly with our new Digital Dance Cards, allowing you to stay informed whether you're at the tournament venue, grabbing lunch, or taking a quick break. Your device will notify you exactly when you need to start heading back to the ring.

Important: iOS web push notifications require iOS 16.4 or later. If you're using an older version of iOS, you'll need to update your device first.
