Pitch Limit Warning - Requested Feature
Posted: Sat Mar 23, 2013 7:19 am
Amateur leagues (e.g.: rec, school, travel, club, etc.) typically limit on the number of pitches thrown by a pitcher; i.e., the 'pitch limit'. I would like to see a 'pitch limit' feature implemented in an intuitive way within iScore.
Build a specific 'pitch limit' widget that uses the following logic:
- under 'pitch limit', query for and accept a numeric value for max-number-of-pitches-allowed during game setup mode;
- debit pitch count pitcher-by-pitcher against the pitch limit and present that number real-time on defense view of game (perhaps to the right or left of the pitcher position icon);
- average the pitch count pitcher-by-pitcher per inning in the background and maintain that stat;
- alert/warn/alarm iScore scorekeeper when the pitch count for active pitcher approaches within ten pitches of the 'averaged pitches per inning' stat for the active pitcher.
Additional:
- consider providing 'pitch count' by double-tapping on the pitcher position icon, rather than by retrieving that information from the "inning recap" screen.
