Considering and REALLY need help.

I score two different teams (actually, 4 teams this summer!) from one iPad and haven't had any issues. The key for me is to use "higher level" leagues such as "2010 USSSA" or "2010 Little League All-Stars". These would be used along with tournament leagues, day/night leagues, etc. I would think in your case a league titled "Baseball" and a league titled "Softball" would eliminate the clutter you refer to. The only co-mingling occurs on the iScoreCast game list, but it's simple enough to find the relevant game and I had several parents comment that they enjoyed watching the replays of the games they weren't involved with.

UPDATE: AFTER TESTING, AND AFTER FTM CONFIRMING "SAME DEVICE ID" - YOU MAY WANT TO IGNORE THIS POST.. RUNNING TWO APS ON SAME DEVICE IS A 'BAD IDEA', IT WOULD NOT SOLVE YOUR WANT


Mongoose - many folks use one app with leagues to manage multiple, teams, years, seasons, and tournaments. no problem. I suggest learning and using leagues as the best approach to your two kid situation. (still may need two devices to handle physical location)

Now that said, theoretically (i.e. I have not tested, try at your own risk), on your iPad you can download run both the iPhone App and the iPad app on the same iPad, each with its own separate underlying database. I am not sure (again, have not tested, try at your own risk) if the device id is unique for each - then exporting should be ok, but if the device id is the same for both apps, then exporting would be a disaster. If both apps have unique device ids, then they should run independently. (again, try at your own risk)

The real issue I have found with managing and scoring two different kids teams over the course of multiple season, tournaments, and years….is being physically in two places at once to score. So yes I do have multiple devices, and I use them interchangeably using data sharing to move games scored from one device to the other and to the web. I did not dedicate one device to baseball, and one to softball, b/c for us, it depends more on who is covering what game that day, who draws the straw to travel with which team which week.

coop85 -- good point, iscore cast is comingled on the free iscorecast player /admin site, but not on the paid team web sites. On the team web sites the link for each game is very clear, listed by game and with specific links to box score, iscorecast, stats, play by play etc. very clean.

The customer ID is tied to the device... so running the iPhone version and the iPad version would start to get confused when you do exports/imports.
