Chrome extension ยท Private beta

Your season, connected.

You'll need a computer for this part. SimplSeason Sync runs in Chrome or Brave on a Mac, Windows PC, or personal Chromebook. Open this page there to install it.

Get the latest extension

Download SimplSeason Sync

Version 0.3.27

Works in Chrome or Brave on a Mac, Windows PC, or personal Chromebook.

Not available on phones or tablets. Safari and Firefox can't run it, but you can install Chrome just for syncing and keep your usual browser for everything else. School-managed Chromebooks may block the install.

SimplSeason never sees your GameChanger password. You'll approve the connection yourself in step 4.

Bookmark this page. It always has the newest version, and the extension will send you back here when there's an update.

First-time setup

Because we're in beta, SimplSeason isn't in the Chrome Web Store yet, so you'll add it by hand. Your browser calls this "Developer mode." It sounds technical, but it simply lets the browser run extensions that aren't in the store yet.

  1. Download and unzip. On a Mac, double-click the downloaded file. On Windows, right-click it and choose Extract All. Move the simplseason-extension folder somewhere it can stay, like Documents. Don't leave it in Downloads: if the folder is ever deleted, the extension stops working.
  2. Turn on Developer mode. Type chrome://extensions into the address bar and press Enter. Browsers don't allow links to this page, so you'll need to type or paste it. Turn on the Developer mode switch in the top-right corner.
  3. Add the extension. Click Load unpacked and choose your simplseason-extension folder. If you open it and see another folder with the same name inside, choose that inner one. Then click the puzzle-piece icon in your toolbar and pin SimplSeason Sync so it's easy to find. If you see an older copy of SimplSeason Sync in your list, turn it off.
  4. Connect your account. Sign into GameChanger and open your team's page. Click the SimplSeason Sync icon, choose Connect to SimplSeason, and sign in or create an account. Click Connect browser to approve.
  5. Sync your season. Back on your GameChanger team page, click Sync Season. Your games will start showing up in SimplSeason.

If something's not working

You selected the wrong folder. Open your simplseason-extension folder. If there's another folder with the same name inside it, choose that inner folder instead. The right folder has a file called manifest.json directly inside.

Developer mode needs to be on first. Look for the Developer mode switch on the extensions page.

Click the puzzle-piece icon next to the address bar, find SimplSeason Sync, and click the pin icon beside it.

The folder may have been moved or deleted. Download the latest version, put the folder back where it was (same name, same place), then click the reload arrow on SimplSeason Sync on the extensions page.

The extension only runs in Chrome or Brave on a computer. You can install Chrome just for syncing; your GameChanger login works the same there.

Already installed? Here's how to update

When there's a new version, the extension will tell you the next time you open it. Updating takes about a minute, and you don't need to reinstall anything.

  1. Let any sync that's running finish.
  2. Download the new version above and unzip it.
  3. Open the new folder, select everything inside it, and copy it into your existing simplseason-extension folder. If asked, choose Replace. Same folder, same place, no folder inside a folder.
  4. Go to chrome://extensions and click the circular reload arrow on SimplSeason Sync.
  5. Refresh your GameChanger tab and open the extension again.
Please don't remove the extension to update it. Removing it disconnects your browser, and you'd need to set it up again. During beta, updates don't install automatically.
