ERA Stats for 7 inning games - can we change the formula?

Post by johanathan » Sun Jul 25, 2010 9:47 pm

I have been keeping track of all my team's games this summer on the iPad with iscore. However, when I total the seasons stats, the ERA is wrong because it's based on 9 inning games, not 7 innings, like we play. Is there a way I can change this? Either using ipad or the stats on our web site? Thanks.


Also, how do we add info (backside of the card) to player's cards?

FTM has stated that the ERA is calculated using a 9 inning game as it is defined by MLB. They offer the stat ERG that is calculated using the number of innings for your game (as determined in Game Settings).

There are several threads in the forum that discuss this in greater detail. It is a point of contention, but IMHO once you realize that ERG is the stat you are looking for, it becomes natural to look for that column instead of ERA.

The back side of the player card is currently only used for MLB rosters --- if you have the MLB subscription, the back side shows a link to ESPN Mobile for the player.
