0) The date control issue I raised elsewhere, for recording old games, but that's been cleared up already
1) Player data. I have access to the complete list of the federation players... is it somehow possible to import the data in iScore, or do I have to type it in from scratch?
2) Player info. It would be useful to record the player birthdate (players here may play in more than one league, so we have to doublecheck birthdates before the games). Is there any field I could use to store this in?
3) Andvanced by batter and Held up... I suppose I just got to get the hang of this. But on a side note, there are occasions (very common in our little league) in which the play is extended by a sequence of errors. I was wondering how you handle these complex sequences. Do you add plays to the runners, after having input the main play?
4) Errors. We usually score fielding, fly and throw errors. I did not see this distinction in iScore. Did I miss it?
5) Extra base errors. We usually distinguish between situations (and errors) where the batter/runner would have been put out, from those where the batter/runner would simply have stopped safely on a previous base (extra base errors). They both count as errors as far as fielding stats go, but the distinction is useful for calculating the earned runs and reading the scoresheet.
6) Earned and unearned runs. I was expecting iScore to ask me, at least in some cases, if the scored runs where earned or not. It didn't, even thoudh it actually handled them correctly, but I know there are cases where it cannot be automatically established if a run is earned or not. How do you handle these cases?
7) Team earned runs. Are these provided for?
8) Double plays. I've had to fiddle with this a bit. We're used to recording the two plays separately on the runner and the batter (and linking the outs)... so, for example, 6-4 on the runner and 4-3 on the batter (or GDP 4-3, if it's a GDP). If I got this right, on iScore I put the 6-4-3 on the batter, and then just use the Out | Double play on the runner. It seems to be calculating the assistances correctly, at least with common DPs. Is this the correct way to do it? Aren't there situations in which it may calculate PO and assistances in an incorrect way without asking additional info? I'm thinking of a DP 3-4-3 for example (1B tags first base, throws to second, 2B throws back to 1B who tags the runner between 1st and 2nd... 2B should get an A and a DP, 1B should get 2 PO and a DP).
9) GDP. I didn't really see where this is handled. Is it done automatically?
10) Fielding stats. We're used to having fielding stats divided by defensive position. So if a player plays as both SS and 2B, for example, he'd get two different sets of stats. Is this possible?
11) Assistance on errors. For example, 3B field the ball and throws to 1B to put the batter out, but 1B drops the ball. How do I record these so as to give the 3B the assistance? If I say the batter reached on error, iScore asks who made the error, but not who else assistend in the play. Did I miss it?
Anyway... great product... I'm looking forward to using it on the field.
BTW - I'm sure once I bring it to the field, other people will start asking
(just added 11)
