The Challenge Ledger
2026 is the first season a club can tell the umpire to ask the machine. Two ABS challenges per game, keep the ones you win, burn the ones you don’t — and every ballpark scoreboard shows what’s left. This page keeps what the scoreboard forgets: every club’s record on the season, counted off our own reconciled scorecards. A game the engine refused to reconcile isn’t here — if it’s counted, there’s a card behind it.
League-wide, the machine has sided with the challenger 3463–3029 (53.3%) across 1538scored games. None of this rates a roster — a challenge record is a fact about umpire calls and a club’s judgment of them, which is exactly why it’s worth keeping.

Every challenge in these counts sits on a scorecard as a mark you can tap — the pitch, the challenger, and which way the machine went. Start from the scorecards, or read how the card refuses to print when its own challenge count disagrees with the game’s ledger, at the Legend.
