Removing a player from rest of game?

[frachel]

In our game last night, one of our kids had to leave mid-game. He played field a few innings, and batted once. I used the "skip batter" when he came up again, but is there any way to remove him from the rest of the game so I don't have to remember to do that? The other team had a similar situation, and since I don't know them and don't really get notified of lineup updates (Im really just a parent doing this from the sidelines, not an official coach) overheard their coach tell ours about their #6 hitter leaving, but the next time around I forgot to skip their #6 immediately, so was looking for a way to remove a player from the rest of a game.

Thanks!

If a player is subbing in for the player that leaves, just enter a sub. If there is not a sub, then you will have to use the Skip Batter option, and iScore will ask if it should count as an Out each time and you should select that according to your league rules.

Thanks, that's what I did (it wasn't a sub, was just a kid had to leave to managers agreed that he'd just be skipped after he left), was just hoping once I skipped him there would be like a "skip for rest of game?" question Mainly due to the fact then with 12 batters, lots of walks (young kids) by the time its that position in the order to bat again, it's easy to forget. At least this time it was only 2 pitches in when I realized I was on the wrong batter and needed to skip.

I didn't use "skip batter" I just marked the kid as not batting, now all of my stats are off by 1. Is there a way to fix this?

Thanks.

By marking the player as not batting, it means you went into the Starting Lineup and changed Batting = NO. This is telling iScore that the player was not a starter and takes him out of the game. The Starting Lineup screen is only used to make changes to the starting lineup.

To fix this, you are either going to have to Undo back to that point in the game and re-score from there, or just re-score the complete game.

iScore scores each at bat by lineup position. This allows you to change who was in each lineup position post game and is logically how at bats flow in a baseball game. If you take a player out of the starting lineup, you still had at bats recorded in those lineup positions, and you are just "shifting everyone up a spot" in the lineup and they get the stats of that lineup position.

@FTMSupport it totally makes sense now. I should have run more test games. I won't make that mistake tomorrow.

What is the best way to go about re-scoring the game? Print out everything I have and create a new game with the same start date and just run down the "script?" There was a "standard" scoring book kept as well so I suppose I could do it.

I should record it in old time radio voice, complete with sound effects as well. LOL!

Yes, create a new game with the same teams and dates, and use the reports iScore can provide, or the iScorecast of your already scored game.
