Merging data

I'm not sure if this has been brought up before. Currently you can share data, but not merge data. It would be great if there was a way to merge two sets of data. For example, one main person keeps score and a second person tracks pitches. Afterwards, they are able to merge the data into one game. I personally find it too overwhelming to score and also try to track pitch placement, type and speed (plus I do not really have the knowledge to do this.) I think it would be a nice feature to ba able to have someone else do this and then still have all the data in one place.

Thanks!

The idea of "shared scorekeeping" has been brought up before. There are several issues with it that make it difficult, but the main one for what you are asking is that there is no way to track pitch locations only right now. You have to score the game or iScore will not move from pitch to pitch / batter to batter. When we come out with a "pitch tracking" only app, then the first hurdle will be done, and we can start thinking about the next issues (how to make sure the right pitches are being merged? how to handle a skipped pitch? how to handle the pitch tracker inserting an extra pitch? etc)
