Stats Prior to Using iScore
Stats Prior to Using iScore
Is there a way to enter hitting stats for a player prior to using iScore? I started using iScore 5 games into our season, and I would like to enter the stats for the first 4 games so that iScore displays the stats for the whole season.

Re: Stats Prior to Using iScore
We do not currently have a way to do this. We have the idea of adding a "baseline stats" for each player as an enhancement for a future release. Until then (we do not have a date... customers have given us dozens of enhancements they would like to see, and we prioritize as best we can), the only way we have to do this would be to back enter the previous games from scorebooks.

My suggestion is you will need to manage such partial seasons outside of iscore, email yourself game and team stats and do your own manual integration in excel

Do you have hand written scorecards for those games? If you do you can recreate those games within iScore. Your stats will only be as good as your hand written scorecard is.
You could also create a bogus game simply for the purposed of batting averages. Enter the players on the roster whose batting averages you need to add. List them all as batting and then start the game. You don't need to worry about strikes/balls unless that matters to you and you have that data. Just go through the batting order adding the hits/outs the way you want them to appear. You can even have innings if you want. After you are done end/save the game and those players should now have the correct stats.
FTM, do you see anything wrong with this approach?

Re: Stats Prior to Using iScore
That should work fine... it just gets a little tricky using one game to score multiple games worth of data if you care about things like hitting into double plays, etc. There are many statistics we can add in the future based on properly entered games... for example, Left On Base is coming soon... and those stats will not be correctly captured if you are not careful about how you are entering the game... or "2 strike hits" or "worked to a full count". But without having a better solution, this would be the way to go for now.
