POLL 2018 - Which "utilities" would you prefer?

[David - Cleveland]

I see Statslab is linked from the ABL website, but doesn't appear to be fully functional.

I must admit that I have never used Statslab (from the backend perspective as a Commissioner). I have used OU previously.

I must also admit that I am also kind of a fan of the newest STATSPLUS program. I have not used it as a Commissioner either, but I am in a league that uses it quite extensively, for "real time" (more end of each day) scores and as a draft tool (NOT suggesting that by the way, as this league trades picks and it would likely be a hassle). It's also extremely SLACK-compatible. I know Slack is a hot button/polarizing topic, but it works nicely with this program.

Because it takes so long to upload the files required for any of these utilities, I would willing to use JUST ONE!

I am not pushing any of the three on you, instead would love to use the one MOST of us (if not ALL) would love MOST!

Please vote (open until Monday 11:59p ET).

I like StatsLab for its backwards facing ability. I think it's a great tool to look at information at a historical level. I've never done too much with it as a present-facing utility, and it seems like Stats+ has much of the same functionality and more people enjoy it.

I actually have no idea what OU is.

[Derek _ Red Sox]

Agree with Erick. The beauty of StatsLab is history is right there at your fingertip in the most easy, convenient way to get what you want.

Poll has been locked.
Not as big a response to this one, which suggests it's not that big a deal.

Must admit I do not have much experience with the backend of Statslab, but I will consult Derek (former Commissioner) to see what is required.

Understand ABL did move to Statsplus, so will further that. In addition to the Slack app for reporting scores, which is slick, a website of stats is being developed. Know even less about it's backend, but I am in contact with the developer and will investigate further.

I didn't vote because I don't know anything about OU. This is the first I've heard of it. If someone can sum up what it is I can offer a opinion.

I hate to improperly characterize, but I find it to be kind of like Statslab-lite.
Pretty sure it was in use prior to Statslab, and now Statsplus. I have mainly used it as a draft utility (n/a here of course).

Pretty sure it would be a third choice anyway, so no problem.

I'm a little late to the party, but my non-counting vote would be for Statsplus. It's used in another league I'm in and I find it amazing.
