Advancing Runners
Posted: Fri Apr 01, 2016 10:46 am
I'm not sure if this is an issue with the software or an enhancement request. It's an issue that comes up though as I have parents of players scoring for me, they try their best and pretty much get everything right actually, but they are unfamiliar with the software.
If there is a runner on base, let's say 1B, and a batter hits a single. It asks what happened to the runner on 1B, the score keeper selects advanced by batter on the screen that is presented. But then you look back on pitch by pitch and it says the runner on 1B was advanced to 1B by the hit, instead of advancing to 2B. I now understand the workaround is to select 2B when prompted from above, then click advanced by batter, and it scores it correctly showing them advancing to 2B or 3B or wherever they advance.
It seems like at least 1 base advanced should be assumed by default as a runner on 1B can't be advanced to 1B by a hit from the batter. A similar issue comes up with a runner on 3B was caught stealing at home. The runner was out, so they selected out, then it asked why, they said caught stealing, so it scored as caught stealing at 3B although they came from 3B. If they were picked off at 3B, then it wouldn't be an advancing play.
So this is an issue with reporting, or enhancement request, or something, not sure. I know the workaround, but I think it can be setup to run smoother than it does, especially when some of us are relying on parents that haven't used the software to keep score. Just my two cents.
