Scoring for only "one side"

Post by selimevets » Thu May 24, 2012 5:24 pm

Hello, I'm a long time user of iScore, but I've historically used it to score "both sides" of the game. Now I find myself in a rec league where we're just keeping score for ourselves. What's my shortest route to being able to score games but skip half of an inning?

Do I need to create a generic Opponent team, with an Opponent batter, os is there an option someplace to just score for "one side"?

Poked around the FAQ section here, but if there's an answer to my question, I've not found it.

Thanks much in advance for any advice offered.

In case anyone else comes looking, my best workaround was to create a real opposing team (to properly track Win/Loss and Runs For/Runs Against per opponent). I added one, generic batting player to the team. Each half inning, that generic player gets a series of Homeruns equivalent to the runs scored by the opposing team. The I Misc>End Inning to get back to "my half" of the game.

Not the most graceful workaround, but it gives me an accurate score with minimal "taps".

Still very open to better workaround if something exists.

That is the approach we usually recommend for scoring just one side. Since you are a long time user, we don't have to remind you of the benefits of scoring both sides (seeing tendencies of opposing batters, finding weaknesses in opposing defense, finding opposing pitcher tendencies, etc... oh wait, maybe we did just remind you. :) )

Anyway, the approach you have decided on is the usual recommendation.
