Correcting a pre 2.0 game

Post by Dweeb Dad » Wed Aug 26, 2009 10:10 am

The new version is AWESOME. It is true that great things come to those who are patient!

Thanks in advance for the help with this one.

A previously scored softball game went into an international tie breaker. The previous version could not allow us to put the player who was the last batter of the previous inning on to 2nd base to start the inning. That player eventually scored, but I can not show it.
Is it possible to edit that game to show this scenario? If so, some help on how to would be appreciated.

The current version only allows editing plays in such a way that would not affect the entire rest of the game. For example, if you changed an out at home plate to a run scored at home plate in the first inning, suddenly the entire rest of the game has changed. There is one fewer out, additional batters now have to bat in that inning, etc. Editing support in the current version handles things like changing a reached base on error to a reached base by a hit and fixing substitutions, corrections that do not span multiple plays.

Future releases will try to address the issue of modifying the game record in such a way as to handle situations, such as yours, that span multiple plays.

If you have a record of what happened after the tie breaker rule went into effect you could go back into the game and hit undo until you get to that spot in the game, then enter the plays that occurred after that point. If you want to try that we highly recommend the you Export your data from the Options screen before making the changes so you can restore your data using Import in case of a mistake.

OK, I will print the socrebook for this game. Delete the last inning, add the runner and then copy the rest of scorebook data into the device.

BTW. I need to find something useful to do with all of the free time that I have now that I don't need to be checking for the update all of time!

And like we said be sure to Export first just in case.
