So I just watched the update from Origins, so let me start by saying I'm excited by the prospect of the new character sheet and the idea of the AL badge. That said it feels like it falls short of what I think I an most AL players really want from AL support. Aside from the ability to whitelist/blacklist options to comply with AL character building restrictions, the thing AL players need is a log sheet section to track games played, renown, downtime, and story awards and the like. It seems like a log sheet section that slides out and can be filled in and expanded like the other sidebars would be perfect. I imagine something you fill in and when a new entry is needed you just click a button to expand and a brand new entry section is created below the last one to be filled in for the newest game.
Side note the white/black list option might need to be dynamic because there are often AL options to break the PHB+1 rule based on class, DM rewards or story awards. The Wizards for instance are bound to the spells from their chosen PHB+1 options except for when copying spells from the spell books of others. Other things, like DM rewards or certificates gained through conventions, allow for the creation of characters that have an additional options beyond the PHB+1. One idea could be to catalog and add AL story awards as something like badges or items that can be equipped like a magic item and any associated effect is reflected on the sheet.
