About Dugout Superstars
What you get today
Dugout Superstars is the shared front page for your Mario Superstar Baseball netplay league — schedules, stats, drafts, and playoffs in one place, parsed straight from the game files you already save.
Seasons & schedules
Create a league, add teams, and generate a round-robin schedule. Managers propose game times and confirm them with a click.
Stats from the game itself
Paste the decoded Rio stat file after a match and every box score, batting line, pitching line, and stadium split fills in automatically.
Draft night
Live snake draft with a pick clock and draft board. Rosters lock when the season starts; trades run through accept/decline.
Standings & playoffs
Live standings with configurable tiebreakers, clinch tracking, playoff odds, and brackets with play-in rounds and best-of series.
Inky, the AI beat reporter
Inky writes game recaps, weekly columns, and previews from your league's real stat lines — every article reviewed by the commissioner before it publishes.
Head-to-head & lifetime stats
Friendlies count too. Lifetime records against every rival, character careers, league records, and a hall of fame.
BetaUnder active development
The site is in open beta — you may hit the occasional rough edge, and updates ship regularly as reports come in. Shipped recently:
- Mobile-friendly navigation and layouts
- Friends list, notifications, and user profiles
- Google and Discord sign-in
- Fielding stats and expanded season records
- Commissioner tools: forfeits, score-only reporting, audit log
- Inky game recaps with commissioner review
Known rough spot: the live snake draft is still being tested — if it acts up, commissioners can assign rosters manually from the season rosters page, which works reliably.
