More selectable features would be nice for the way we play, such as:
1. outs per inning
2. exhibition, regular season, or playoff
3. Quick Standings once you select a league

#2 can be handled by Leagues. Lots of examples in the forums here.

For #1, on rare occassions we get this request. We are not sure where it originates. There are 3 outs for each team in baseball. Sometimes an inning is ended early because of a slaughter rule / max runs scored in an inning type situation. We allow for this by using Misc->End Inning. What type of baseball or softball is being played where it is not 3 outs per inning?
For #3, we will be expanding the league capabilities further in upcoming releases.
As noted on #2, Leagues are a perfect use case for this. While they happen to be called leagues, they are really just "groupings" of games, and you can group games any way you want (and games can be a member of more than one group). This allows you to break out cumulative statistics in many creative ways.

I think you could get more buyers for this app ,if you would allow for "OUTS" per innings to be modified. In Pony Baseball (shetland )you get 5 outs per inning, same goes Little League (small players). I know for a fact that ALOT of coaches & parents would purchase your app if that option was there.

I dont think this is true for every league. In our PONY league, Shetland div, 3 outs per inning. 5 run limits per inning, unlimited in the 5th (or bats entire lineup).

One of our developer's son's happens to be in PONY league, Shetland division as well, and it is 3 outs per inning. The runs per inning limit can already be enforced by using Options->End Inning when the max # of runs has been reached.
We will consider adding different number of outs per inning to a future release.
Thank you.
