Pitch Limit Warning - Requested Feature

Post by lothian » 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.

Pitch count warnings are in the product already. We have two pitch count warnings, so you can set one at 10 before the max allowed pitches, and one at the max allowed pitches (or one less than the max allowed pitches). To set this, go to the Options screen for the game (button in bottom right corner of the screen), and scroll down to the pitch count warnings and set them.

The total pitch count for a pitcher is also always visible on the screen if you are using a tablet, or by "flicking" the top line score to the left on phone devices.
