One problem, one suggestion

[mpsantos]

I entered and scored several games this past weekend. I really like the software so far. However, I do have one issue. When I enter a team in under team manager, I enter all the details I have like name, position, number, etc. When I go to start a game, all the Jersey numbers are 0! If I entered them in the team manager, why are they missing on the game screen? As a note, after I enter the numbers in the game screen, the numbers remain.

One suggestion I have is to get an easier way to swap home and visiting teams right before the game starts. I know that you can click the initial play button and get the rosters to pop up and go from there, but it would be nice on the main game screen to have a simple "swap" button to do this.

Thanks!,
Mark

Whatever you have in the Team Roster at the time the game is created goes to the Lineup for the game. If you are creating a game before you had the jersey #'s entered for the players, then the game was created with all 0's for jersey numbers. Editing the roster after the game is created will not update a lineup. If you make changes to your lineup, you can copy them back to the roster by pressing Options while on the Lineup screen, and using "Copy Lineup -> Roster".

We have a Swap button available before the game starts too... while on the Lineup screen prior to game start, press the Options button, and press the "Swap Teams" button.

Thanks for the reply. What I saw was that I created the team, with numbers. But when I created the game and went to lineup, the numbers were all zero. I will do another game today and will verify the process.

The swap button is there under the lineup screen, options. However, having a swap on the main game details screen would be nice to have.

Is there a quick way to get to the game lineup screen?

During play: Misc -> Show Starting Lineup

Note 1 - do not use this to make substitutions, just changes to starting lineup, names, jerseys, etc.
Note 2 - changes made here will not be automatically made to the team roster. If you want the changes reflected there: Options -> Copy Lineup to Roster (from lineup page)

The swap button is there under the lineup screen, options. However, having a swap on the main game details screen would be nice to have.

This functionality is only needed before the game starts, so I think that it makes sense where it is (the screen you are in before the game starts). But, if you were in the scoring screen already and needed it:
Exit, OK (to confirm), Play, Options, Swap, Done - and you are right back to the scoring screen.

I agree, the swap teams should be an option when viewing the lineup from the game screen (after pressing the 2nd 'Play' button). I will look for, or create a new thread about my frustration with having two 'Play' buttons.
