Reusable or Carry forward line ups

[onearmeddad]

I score the games of my triple A team that i have season tickets for. At the triple A level, lineups don't change often, or may only make minor adjustments. would it be possible to save time by adding a 'use previous lineup' as a baseline for the current game? as teams often have a 3 or 4 game series against each other at a time. that would be helpful.

That is what the Team Roster is for. If you set up your Team Roster, that is used as the default lineup for each new game you create. You can copy an existing lineup back to your team roster by going to the Lineup screen for a game, clicking Options, then clicking Copy Lineup to Roster.

The update roster from lineup is great, but is there an easier way to do it from using a previous game. So far if I want to use yesterday's lineup, I have to go to that game, touch play to bring up the game screen, then undo the last play in order to access the lineup and then update roster from lineup. Then I have to redo the last play and exit. It would be great to have access to the update from last lineup in the Team Manager Roster.

If you go to Game Manager, select the game you want to copy the lineup from, touch Pitch by Pitch, touch the "Game Start" event, and touch Edit next to the Starting Lineup. This will let you see the starting lineup for the game without having to use the Undo/Redo, and you can use the Update Roster from Lineup from there.

This doesn't seem to work for me. Game Manager -> Select Game -> Pitch by Pitch -> Select 'Game Starts' -> Edit -> Select Home or Visitor -> Options -> Update Roster from Lineup -> Done -> Save -> Back -> Back -> Back

When I then select Team Manager -> Select Team -> Roster, it looks like it picked up the defensive positions from the previous game, but the batting order hasn't changed.

I must be overlooking something simple. ??

Ah, right. There is another thread where we actually identified that as a bug in the current release that is fixed in the next release (we were using the next release that is not yet available). Best suggestion for now is to set your Team Roster to the most used lineup and new games will default to that lineup.

Thanks. That Works!
