Double play order of outs is wrong.

Post by jojolemon » Sat Feb 20, 2010 8:05 pm

I've uploaded a screenshot of how iScore indicates a 6-4-3 double play here:

http://www.flickr.com/photos/20509917@N00/4374907850/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

It shows the first out being made at 1b but that's actually the second out. The runner moving from 1b to 2b is forced out at 2b before the throw is made to 1b.

Are there plans to fix this? If not, here's my request that it be fixed! :-) Thanks.

This has been reported a few times, and is not as easy to fix as it may seem. We do have a "quick plays" menu if you slide your finger across the "Out" menu item that allows you to select double plays like 6-4-3, and they will show in the correct order if you score it that way.

The actual order of the outs does not effect stats however, so we have not seen this as being a high priority issue.

Cool. The "quick plays" tip is *very* helpful.

And, yes...while it doesn't affect the outcome or stats, it's still wrong. I look back at scoresheets a lot and that's the sort of thing that will drive me bonkers. I may be (probably am) in the minority as far as iScore users are concerned but my interest isn't so much in the stats but more in the action. I'm a fan, not a coach/manager, so my iScore stats will always be "off" as I miss all the "away" games.

We have gone ahead and fixed this for the next release. The order of outs will show correctly starting with the next release whether you use the Quick Plays, or score it manually.

Yay! I saw this when I downloaded the update this evening. Excellent.

It appears that this may still be an issue. See the image at the link below.

It appears that the second out should have gone to the lead runner, but instead the second out went to the final batter of the inning. It's interesting to note that later in the game I scored a 5-4-3 double play the same way and it recorded the outs correctly. Is there a better way of scoring this to get the outs to line up? I'm new to iScore and not aware of how to use the "quick out" feature quite yet.

Thanks,
