Is the Courtesy Runner usually the last player out? If it is, can iScore indicate that when you select Courtesy Runner?

An interesting idea for an optional toggle setting, but would need to be optional as courtesy runner rules vary by league.....the "last out" ( "last batter not on base" ) toggle would be nice in many youth leagues that bat all players. however it would not be appropriate for Hiigh School or College softball that provides for courtesy runners, but since they manage substitutions, the courtesy runners must be bench players not "last out" / prior batters..

I agree. It would be great to know quickly. Could have last out highlighted in one color and subs highlighted in another.

A courtesy runner is usually only the player who made the last out *if* your team is batting the entire roster. If not, most leagues (particularly at older ages) specify that the courtesy runner can, and must, be any player who is not in the game at the time - not the last out - with the only added proviso that one player cannot courtesy run for a pitcher and a catcher in the same inning (usually you can only courtesy run for the pitcher and catcher, and sometimes only after a certain number of outs).
