Thanks & THINK Baseball!

Welcome and Enjoy.
my.iscorecentral.com is what we also call the admin web site... it comes free with every application and is tied to your specific hardware device (iPhone,iPod,Andorid,IPad etc). Your my.iscorecentral.com user id and password are managed from your device and can be found under options>admin web site.
my.iscorecentral.com is updated with data from your device every time you do an Option > Export or enable iscorecast from your handheld device.
my.iscorecentral.com serves a few purposes..
One is as an emergency off site back up of your device data, every time you do an Option Export, a copy of your device database is stored off site on FTM servers. helpful in case of a lost device or other device failure.
my.iscorecentral.com is also a place you can add/delete/edit teams and players .. you can do that all on your device, but sometimes using a full size keyboard is helpful, especially if cutting and pasting team rosters from other sources. Note: Any changes made on the web site, would have to be manually imported back to your device (options > import). . .
my.iscorecentral.com is also a place you can and review scored games box scores, play by play, get maxpreps formatted results, and review opponent hit charts plus manage the menu of iscorecast games and geomap locations.. -- all from a web connected computer.
iscore.. is a self contained application, and can be used "as is" without any internet connectivity.. that said it becomes more powerful, and has additional features when connected to the internet (wiFi or 3G). (examples .. my.iscorecentral.com, team web site subscriptions, MLB add on, email, twitter, and iscorecasts).
my.iscorecentral.com is an administrative extension of the device (hence we call it the admin web site often).
hope that helps

Since you added your team on the website, you will need to do an options-import in order to get it on the device. However, do not do this if you have since entered any data directly onto the device as the import will override everything. As Ohiotex mentioned, it is important to get into the habit of exporting your data after each game or tournament to make sure FTM has the most current data stored. Before making any changes on the website, you'll want to make sure it has the most recent data as well by first doing an export.
It is not necessary to use the website at all, but many users find it easier if making a lot of changes.

I just export for the first time, but I can find my info. Where do I go and make sure all of my information is there.
Thanks

If you go to Options -> Admin Website from within iScore on your device, it will tell you how to log in to the Admin Website.

It said Invalid user and/or Password and also a NOTE: Be sure you have done an Options->Export from within iScore to establish an account on the server.
I have done the export twice. Is there something else I need to do? Also will it export all of the leagues I have set up or only the one that is mark?
Thanks

It exports all the data.
Try going to Options -> Admin Website on your device and resetting the password from there. It sounds like maybe there is a space or some other character you can not see in your current password. After resetting the password, try logging in to the Admin Website again.
